I've always loathed you ENFPs as fun as you are. You're grudging, you don't wash your dishes and you couldn't listen to someone for more than 2 minutes straight without interrupting with something about YOU if you tried your hardest. Alas, I am becoming more and more extroverted and it is only a matter of time before I acknowledge the fact that I am one of you. Be glad though, I will bring up the collective reputation of ENFPs everywhere. Not only do I keep things tidy, I have an organizer, hold 2 jobs and am late for only 15% of my appointments. Oh and I keep the drama down almost as well as an ENFJ.

The title of this made me envision some serious like, Bruce Banner transitioning into The Hulk imagery.

By which I mean...congratulations?

Perhaps I am just a very socially adept INFP? It's just I find myself bouncing around at work enthusiastically and there are times when I think would an INFP really be planning activities with new acquaintances off the bat and being the designated jello shooter-maker and photographer for work parties? I just don't know....I'm going to blame all my introverted friends for this development. Damn you for remaining within your bubbles and forcing me to rely on extroverts for my fun.


edit: I feel like I should mention that these extroverts are mainly Gemini's and we all know they can't sit still for one moment, let alone spend an evening in.

You'll have to forgive me Elaur, but I was plagued with ENFPs with very poor hygiene habits and extreme inclinations towards drama throughout my undergrad, but yes this is meant to be humorous. Please take no offense!

ahh yes...I forgot that ENFPs have senses of humor when it comes to everything but being criticized. How could I forget? I'm feeling a little more INFP now, thanks guys:banana:

why do people assume that being socially adept or not is a criteria for being extroverted. there are plenty of extroverts with NO social skills and plenty of introverts who have social skills..

anyway the fact that you're late only 15% of the time makes me wonder how committed you are to P :smile:

nothing wrong with being distractable. In fact I ...oh look a cool butterfly...

Question while the ENTPs are here: Does being more ENFP-like give me more points with you guys? Because you really are the cat's meow.

Don't tell them that! You'll inflate their already massive egos!

I've been in an open relationship with P for a long time now. P doesn't always meet my needs. I just don't like being a prisoner of my dreams, but I refuse to swear allegiance to the J dark-side.

depends on how hot you are :devil:

but really I don't know any INFPs to compare against, but I get along very well in general with ENFPs. They feel like my natural partners in crime :D

No worries. I'll just set the table for 3 for my next candle light dinner with one of them. I don't mind feeding an ENTP and their ego as long as they let me in on their secret plans for world domination.:wubbie:

This just sounds bizarre. How many did you "know"

You sure you are INFP? Maybe INFJ?

Two roommates, my best friend's boyfriend, and then several encounters in group projects. The description of INFP fits me quite well. The best of all the types, although I've been scoring ENFP lately so I'm beginning to wonder...
