I find personality types to be absolutely facinating so I want to ask everyone I know what personality type they are. I am an ENFP (who sometimes borders as an ENFJ) and here is what it says about me:
[link] ENFPs are friendly folks. Most are really enjoyable people. Some of the most soft-hearted people are ENFPs.
ENFPs have what some call a "silly switch." They can be intellectual, serious, all business for a while, but whenever they get the chance, they flip that switch and become CAPTAIN WILDCHILD, the scourge of the swimming pool, ticklers par excellence. Sometimes they may even appear intoxicated when the "switch" is flipped. [Note by me: This is exactly how I am. It is like Jekyll and Hyde - well not like THAT, but you know what I mean.]
One study has shown that ENFPs are significantly overrepresented in psychodrama. Most have a natural propensity for role-playing and acting.
ENFPs like to tell funny stories, especially about their friends. This penchant may be why many are attracted to journalism. I kid one of my ENFP friends that if I want the sixth fleet to know something, I'll just tell him.
ENFPs are global learners. Close enough is satisfactory to the ENFP, which may unnerve more precise thinking types, especially with such things as piano practice ("three quarter notes or four ... what's the difference?") Amazingly, some ENFPs are adept at exacting disciplines such as mathematics. [note by me: I believe in the close enough theory...especially when playing music--I don't count in my head when I play the piano. And I'm also pretty good at math when I want to be]
Friends are what life is about to ENFPs, moreso even than the other NFs. They hold up their end of the relationship, sometimes being victimized by less caring individuals. ENFPs are energized by being around people. Some have real difficulty being alone, especially on a regular basis.
One ENFP colleague, a social worker, had such tremendous interpersonal skills that she put her interviewers at ease during her own job interview. She had the ability to make strangers feel like old friends.
ENFPs sometimes can be blindsided by their secondary Feeling function. Hasty decisions based on deeply felt values may boil over with unpredictable results. More than one ENFP has abruptly quit a job in such a moment. [note by me: I definately feel this affects me sometimes, but my borderline judging side of me comes out and *usually* keeps me from making hasty decisions like quitting a job.]
Take the test and let me know which type you are!
ETA: And here is a more thorough description of all the personality types HERE if you want something more detailed. I'll follow up on this in a future post.
