ENFP stands for Extraversion, iNtuition, Feeling, and Perception and is one of 16 personality types studied from the MBTI personality identification indicator (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator). The MBTI personality assessment developed by Isabel Briggs Myers, Katharine Cook Briggs and David Keirsey from the work of renowned psychiatrist Carl G. Jung the types of psychology based on theories of cognitive functions. Keirsey named ENFP The Champion (the successful guider) because they tend to help others achieve their dreams of success, and ENFP is is one of the four oriented-idealist personality types.

The MBTI assessment accurately estimates about 75% according to its guiding indicator, using multiple-choice questions on the basis of four "binary" (opposing psychological pairs), ENFP is one of 16 personality types and is abbreviated by the first four letters (iNtuition is an exception because I is used for Introversion) as follows:

• Extraversion: extroverted tendencies, have the feeling of being motivated and energetic for those around them;

• iNtuition: listen more to their intuition than specific feelings, so they focus their attention on the big picture rather than the little details, as well as things that might happen in the future rather than paying attention to reality;

• Feeling: make decisions based on feelings, emotional state, personal values rather than based on objective factors or logical rules;

• Perception: they do not rush to evaluate or soon make an important judgment, instead, they always see the problem in a flexible way and can change depending on the specific situation.

What are the core values, actions, and thoughts of ENFP's personality trends?

ENFPs like the beginnings of a project or a new relationship, they are able to communicate intelligently and have a sense of quick judgment to know the needs of others so they can offer timely help and advice. They dislike focusing too much on details and repeating old processes. ENFPs favor novelty, tend to be optimistic, energetic and have strong emotions. They aspire to win and share their experiences with others.

The outstanding characteristic of ENFPs is enthusiasm, especially when it comes to the things that spark their imagination - in this case, ENFPs can be very energetic, persuasive, and easily persuade others to join them. Ironically, this feature can also turn away from ENFPs, when they suddenly find themselves being in the spotlight, considered to be the inspirational leader and the masters of others, ENFPs strive to be independent, so unsurprisingly, they do not always want to be the focus of attention.

The ENFPs are also very emotional and sensitive, they see emotions as something that everyone should take the time to understand and express. However, this trait can also cause a lot of stress for them, as ENFPs can often focus too much on someone else's motivation and the meaning of that action. Observations and intuition are their two dominant personalities, but they can make serious mistakes when trying to infer from the feelings of others as a basis for their decisions.

ENFPs are not people who tend to obey, they go their separate ways and believe in their intuition. They have many talents, but they only show when they are comfortable with their surroundings. People with this personality can become impatient and frustrated if they are put in a boring position, unable to express themselves freely - but when ENFPs find their spot or the job they want, their imagination, empathy, and courage can produce incredible results.

Everything has its downsides, and ENFP's sensitivity is not an exception - it allows them to connect with friends and acquaintances very easily, but also makes them very vulnerable. This is why ENFPs tend to avoid people with strong personalities, such as T and J - those types of personality may have strong opinions on a wide range of topics, and ENFPs may feel like quite annoying arguing with them.

ENFPs are fascinated by the mysteries and will do their best to understand others if they feel that something is hidden inside. This is one of the reasons why ENFPs tend to form extremely strong friendships with other types of NF and NT.
