Two subtypes of ESFps (SEEs)
Within my relatively small experience i've noticed there are two distinctive subtypes of the woman ESFP (SEE) type.
type 1: their main purpose is Se
- just wants to have fun
- behave like they are acting or doing some kind of roleplay, sometimes using a very high pitched voice
- they like to make fun of everybody (in a nice way)
- they want to meet a lot of new people
- more likely to be creative designing
type 2: their main purpose is more supported by Fi
- highly romantic
- like to talk a lot and create a nice ambience
- want to have fun with everybody (telling jokes)
- they don't need to meet a lot of new people
- more likely to play an instrument
I hope you have supplementary information or comments? I'm curious.
ESFps: huge subtype variances (relatively)
All Socionics types show variances in personality traits between subtypes. (For example, ****** and Ronald Reagan were both EIEs; however, they expressed their valued functions quite differently. Socionics accounts for these differences with subtypes. Thus despite being the same type--EIE--****** and Reagan manifested different personality traits because they were different EIE subtypes.)
Sometimes a Socionics type's subtypes can show such wide variances that it can lead Socionists (and forum participants) to think that a subject is actually another type entirely. (E.g. last week in a forum thread I initially typed Christopher Walken Ni-ENFj -- however, after watching a lot of interviews, I realized that I was wrong and he's not Ni-ENFj, but a beta introvert.)
ESFps:
More than any other Socionics type, I've noticed the greatest variances between subtypes in ESFps. Even great variances within the two ESFp subtypes..!
For simplicity's sake, in this example I'll focus only on ESFp males. (I've noticed the same wide variances between females.)
From easy-going, cool Elvis to bubbly, (extremely) socially engaging talk show host Regis Philbin to bombastic, cackling rock star David Lee Roth... To hard-boiled, blunt, (and reportedly crude) President Lyndon B. Johnson to intimidating, militaristic coach Bill Parcells, to hard-drinking, womanizing, human rights crusader Senator Ted Kennedy, to <edited, see below>
I'm not sure why ESFps are so varied in personality emphasis, demeanor/gaze--and I'm not sure that 'why' matters. Despite their differences, I notice that ESFps often rise to leadership positions in whatever their chosen fields.
To those who are as interested in Socionics typing as I am, perhaps these videos of ESFps will be helpful:

<I agree with the posters below who suggested that Will Ferrell is a different type... I believe that he's ESE.>
