Each letter in the personality type code - E, N, F, and P - describes a preference for a way of thinking or behaving. There are eight styles and you use all of them, but ENFPs prefer:
Extraversion (interacting with people) more than Introversion (thinking things through)
iNtuition (perceiving new possibilities) more than Sensing (perceiving tangible facts)
Feeling (making decisions using subjective values) more than Thinking (making decisions using objective logic)
Perception (a flexible lifestyle) more than Judgement (an organised lifestyle)
If your closest personality type is ENFP then you are someone who senses the hidden potential in people. You enjoy starting discussion or activities that challenge and stimulate others into having new insights about themselves, which they can then take and apply to their own personal growth. You are enthusiastic about new projects or causes that offer the potential for a beneficial impact on people, especially when it involves breaking new ground.
Stereotypes and Individuality
The original author of personality type theory - Carl Gustav Jung - said that everyone is individual and unique. The personality types are not strict classifications, but stereotypes that are akin to landmarks on a map. Just as a few landmarks can help you find many unique locations, so too the personality stereotypes can help you understand your unique personality.
