ENFJ

March 24th, 2008

Guess who is?

 

Of all the general personality types, ENFJ’s are the most outgoing and friendly. Their chief concern in life is other people, and fostering harmony and cooperation, between themselves and others.  They are more than willing to do your share in relationships. They try, always, to be friendly, sympathetic, cooperative and tactful.

 

They have strong ideals and a potent sense of loyalty, whether to an employer, a school, a hometown, or a favourite cause. One thing is certain: they do tend to idealize the people and things they value, and they like to be held in similarly high esteem.

 

They are a judging type, and disorganized situations strike them as chaotic. They are distinctly uncomfortable when they’re obliged to function without a schedule, a plan, or a clear idea of the objectives to be achieved.

 

If need be, they’ll provide the necessary direction, but they don’t insist on setting all the rules themselves. They accept authority.

 

They’re patient and conscientious. They make a concerted effort to stick to a job until it’s finished, and they believe it’s important to pay attention to detail. Perhaps more significantly, they base their personal habits on a feeling of obligation to the task, their profession, their friends, family and co-workers, or to the institution itself.

 

They don’t mind letting others know what their values are, and-given the authority-they may insist that others follow their code and their standards.

 

The combination of feeling and judgment is also the fertile soil upon which righteous indignation flowers. They may find it helpful to temper their strong feeling with a less emotional thinking approach to judgment and to balance their judgment with more open-minded perception.
