What Is an ENFP? (From MBTI)

I love Myers-Briggs because I have taken the test a few times and discovered that I am an ENFP. It hits the nail on the head and describes me well. There are 4 parts of this: Introvert/Extrovert, Sensing/Intuition, Thinking/Feeling, and Judging/Perceiving. This article will explain each aspect.

I am slightly more extroverted. It is said that ENFP’s are the least extroverted of all the 16 MBTI types.
I learn by responding to the world around me so I can respond faster.
I could be described as talkative, outgoing.
I like to be in a fast-paced environment. Not all the time, but sometimes I have a short attention span. It takes a lot of work for me to focus.
I tend to work out ideas with others and think out loud. At work, I have done “surveys" where I ask everyone’s opinion on something. This irritates some. But sometimes I must talk about something and talk my way through it before things make sense.
I enjoy being the center of attention. I have done open mic comedy a few times, which you can see on YouTube. I love karaoke. I am not what I would call a great singer, but I would say that it is all about the presentation.

N=Abstract-Deal with theories, abstractions, and unforeseen possibilities and innovations.
I imagine the possibilities of how things could be. I heard the anonymous quote: “I’ve got 99 problems and 86 are different scenarios that I’ve made up in my head.” That rings true for me, in a comical way. Sometimes I mentally prep for worst case scenarios.
I notice the big picture and see how everything connects. I went back & forth with another writer on some of his articles on a heated topic and I irritated him because I spoke of “platitudes”. I enjoy symbolism and metaphors because they help the world make sense to me.
I enjoy ideas and concepts for their own sake. I am an idea person. Sometimes It takes work for me to put things into action.
I like to describe things in a figurative way.

F=Personal-I step into the situation so I can understand the personal implications, ethics and values involved.
I base decisions on values and how my actions affect others. For example, I am typically good for morale at work. I am conscientious. I have a moral code.
I vaue harmony. I value forgiveness when there is a problem.
I like to please others and try to point out the best in people. My wife and I are both people pleasers so that can make things difficult. I look for the best unless I know that someone dislikes me.
I could be described as warm and empathetic. I try to be considerate of others.

P=Spontaneous-I enjoy being flexible and responding to life as it happens. I prefer to leave options open.
I see rules and deadlines as flexible. There are gray areas.
I like to improvise and make things up as I go. An example of this is cooking. I do not mind if I do not follow a recipe to the letter.
I am spontaneous, enjoy surprises and new situations. My wife, on the other hand, hates surprises. We are complete opposites.
