I don't think Keirsey explains the difference.

Benevolent is that everybody benefits long term

Beneficient is that the chosen ones benefit in the short term

PS: I don't value the second all that much as it leads to hedonism and favouritism, but also to close friendships and even marriage.

I don't think we have that many Charity workers and volunteers to do good in the world. Zero votes for these two. Why don't people see themselves as doing good in the world. Doesn't it have any value nowadays?

For the benefit of Mister Kite
There will be a show tonight on trampoline.
The Hendersons will all be there
Late of Pablo Fanques Fair - what a scene!
Over man and horses hoops and garters
Lastly through a hogshead of real fire!
In this way Mister K. will challenge the world!
The celebrated Mister K.
performs his feat on Saturday at Bishopsgate.
The Hendersons will dance and sing
As Mister Kite flies through the ring - don't be late!
Messrs. K. and H. assure the public
Their production will be second to none.
And of course Henry The Horse (ESFJ) dances the waltz!
