I am an ENFJ and a Leo. I first thought I was an INFJ. I was wrong as I dug deeper until I found that my zodiac sun sign is a Leo and I couldn’t find anywhere that matched the INFJ + Leo combo. I take my zodiac type very seriously because I match my sign 100% . After watching numerous videos and reading an ENFJ couldn’t fit me more perfectly. I’ve always been misunderstood by everyone including my family. I am comfortable being alone, but rather being with other people. I get burnt out mentally after I reached my talking/social limit for any given day.

ENFJ... So I applied for a Quality Engineering job in Sparta, IL. They made me take a test. It was one of those "let's see how your mind works" test... which included a massive amount of "what is the next shape in this series" and "what word is next in this series" questions. I took it (2 hours) on Saturday. Sunday the recruiter called me. The owner of the company loved these kind of tests... so when my results showed up... and he had never seen scores like that... he said "I want this guy here this week to meet with the Team!" I had to turn down the job... I was being pushed as the replacement for the current Quality Manager (retirement) and the Team was insanely interesting... but it was this tiny backwoods kind of town and my boyfriend was over moving to small towns.

Hi my name is enfj (audience) "hi enfj". According to the test I'm 50% extrovert, 72% intuitive, 59%feeling, and 16% judging. How I'm a 197% of something I don't know but I like that number. As of today I was forced to changed career paths, I was asked to do something unethical and potentially fraud in billing, but i loved working with my kids, we were really getting started to have a great connection and hopefully leading to another person in their life. Now it's another person in their life thats left them... I'm have no words for the impact that causes them

Hey! Not sure where those percentages are coming from but sounds like your personality type is enfp? And not like one can truly tell from a YT comment, but your energy feels more aligned with that. In any case, I feel your creativity coming through. I’m sorry to hear about your job, but I applaud your decision to not do anything illegal/unethical. Give yourself time to grieve.

Sanz: hope you found another good place to work and bring value to this world! About the percentages: they are on the scales of the 4 dimensions. When you tested 50% on the extrovert versus introvert scale, it also left 50% for the introvert part of you. I'm close to the middle too. You have 100% on each of the scales and where you lie from the middle, makes up which letter you get. Since you only have 16% on the judging part, that leaves 84% for the perceiving part on the J versus P scale. Thus, based on the correctness of your scores, you would be an ENFP, like Caroline already noticed.

ENFJs are called by different names: the giver, the teacher, the protector. We have all of this in us. All jobs doing that justice, will make us feel at home in a career. For us ENFJs it is very important to make a positive change in this world. On a level that counts. On a level that brings harmony and/or justice. Where people are seen for their strengths and helped to grow in them. Where ENFJs have the courage to address the weaknesses they see in themselves and in others, and define them as temporary obstacles on the way to betterment. We search for more accurate knowledge, which practically proofs its value, to amend procedures, to amend deviations from what ought to be and to better human interactions and goals. We often accumulate different skills and possibilities along the way, since we grow ourselves and feel the urgent need to contribute even better. We tend to sacrifice our own needs for those of others, when we can make a valuable difference in their lives, even at high costs for ourselves. When challenged and seeing a possible path for contributing more, we will often want to go on that path. Someone has to do it. We volunteer. We are the encouragers of others, who also need to receive some encouragement ourselves. We can be quite easily hurt by others, who talk malicious about us. So any career path, where that's included, might turn us off, unless we are That Good at it, that we are willing to pay the sacrifice for others. We will give it a good fight. Injustice can turn us on for good. But if the injustice is aiming at our destruction for a long time, we can become so significantly frustrated and hurt, that our common love for others can even turn into hatred towards the evil doers. There, us ENFJs loose a part of ourselves and even show a tendency to retreat in our pain, as it's become so severe, when we also have quite an introvert part in us. Otherwise we can lash out. Commonly both. I'm an ENFJ in a Very Toxic environment myself at the moment. We give it our all, but if NO reason and logic count, but injustice, incompetence and power abuse reign, and we get evilly slandered continuously, that's where even ENFJs can break. We hurt intensely. We try to find out and analyze how all this could happen time and again, HATE the gross injustice done to us and those we protect, and WILL find some way to rescue us out of this. My next step is trying to heal of what these evil beings did. I literally have to move to another state for that, where better morals and better laws are in place.

I just tested ENFJ and found your insightful videos. The thing about personality tests: the results are only as "good" as our answers to the questions, right? This may sound funny, but what is the best way to go about that? Do we reply from the standpoint of the best times we've had when we felt the strongest and most authentic, or do we reply based on a current reality that may include maladaptive behaviors? My common sense says the former, but then again, there is truth even in our maladapted selves. I know MBTI isn't at the heart of what you do, but would love your perspective!

@CarolineAdamsCoaching3 жыл бұрын
@aleeza First question to ask yourself is what analysis looks like for you and whether you like it. If that really motivates you, go for it. The larger theme of enfjs is to improve people’s lives and serve the greater good. Esp if “analysis” leads to communicating info to people that helps them solve problems for their customers or answering deep questions, that could be super powerful. Then you bring in enfj flair for communicating that analysis with eloquence and sensitivity? Priceless. I think that kind of “analysis” is much different than sitting alone at your desk slicing data in spreadsheets. So it’s less about *what* you do-analysis-and more about *how* you do it as an enfj. I could do the very same job as enfj but HOW I approach it would be different bc im an intj. Check out this page, although I wouldn’t let this limit you. www.16personalities.com/enfj-careers Follow the topics and subject matter that interest you, and bring your enfj-ness to it. Does that help?

I disagree with the whole opinion thing. I go first to my Catholic Faith for truth, Then I go to those with wisdom and success and or research based truths these have nothing to do with ethics. Answers that are most commonly agreed on. Not all opinions are valid. Many are just wrong in my opinion. I am not as much of a go getter and leader as I once when I was young. I prefer to weigh pros and cons of getting involved in situations. I get overwhelmed and hate taking credit for others work. Planning and implementing isn't my strongest suit.

Study astrology then. It's much more insightful than the 16 personalities. You have some challenging Pisces or Neptune placement in your natal chart if you tend to miss details. If by details you mean you just seek out a bigger picture of things, then it's a Sagittarius/Jupiter matter. Every ENFJ is different based on their natal chart.
