ENFP - Myers Briggs Personality Type

>> Home / MBTI / The 8 Preferences / The 16 Types / ENFP

Discoverer Advocate: ENFP

Relationship

The ENFP will often seek friendship from a wide variety of types. They look for the potential in people and always look for new possibilities. They often appear to be over positive and can appear insincere.

In love relationships they are intensely loyal but are often looking to make the relationship a little better or think its not quite what it could be.

In the family the ENFP is a giant party with ENFP looking for the best in everyone often over looking the reality of others limitations. They will look to take any event and try to make it ‘The’ event. Family affirmation is after all still affirmation.

Career

ENFP’s need to work with people. They also believe they can do anything and that it should be fun. This can cause the ENFP to try a few careers before settling on just one. Many ENFP’s find medicine and psychology as great avenues for helping people and pushing their potential. Other popular ENFP career directions include: Speech Pathologist, HR Development Trainer, Artist, and Designer.

Education

Education for the ENFP is another step in the journey for affirmation. They generally do well and are people pleasers. They tend to do better on essay tests rather than the structure of a one right answer test.
