ENFPs and INFJs. Why?

Wyst · 07-16-2008, 04:25 AM

So I read on a different website that INFJ's best type match is ENFP. Is there an explainable reason for this or is it just random?

What's so good about ENFPs? I only just recently got into MBTI so I've never looked for an ENFP. Out of curiosity, what would be a dead giveaway that some girl is an ENFP?

Pssht, we are AWESOME!!!!

It actually mentioned that on that website.

One of my best friends is an ENFP... Chances are if you meet one you'll instantly like them. They're social butterflies that can damn near bring anyone out of there shell. I also like the fact that they're willing to take the ride with you on weird discussions other people could care less about.

As for spotting them in the wild..... if you're talking to someone and it sounds like they're just BSing but you find yourself not caring because of how entertaining they are, you may have found yourself an ENFP

we do and are enthusiastic about doing silly/creative things. I tend to be cautious and quieter when first getting to know people or in class room settings but once I'm sure no one has a stick up their bum i'll let loose.

I think it is safe to say, that, generally speaking, we make pretty strong impressions.

I find that people tend to remember me often, or rather more often than I necessarily remember them though I have a pretty decent memory of people whom I've encountered.

Funky and passionate, we are.

Yeah! I got that too. I got the best match for me after I took this test was an INFJ

but uhh... they're like 1% of the population!

but yeah, wasn't sure why, but it was intriguing to read that.
