[MENTION=5494]Amargith[/MENTION] -- oh, it wasn't for me: I just (apparently incorrectly, and I apologize) thought you enjoyed pontificating on the topic, and would enjoy sharing with [MENTION=20880]labyrinth_perhaps[/MENTION]...
(I had already pored over two such major threads, one so old that it had people calling you by your prior screen name. The threads mentioned are

and
http://www.typologycentral.com/forums/nf-idyllic/26744-enfp-intj-disasterous-combo-o-love.html)
which I had thoughtfully saved for myself in an email a month ago when I read them.
Thanks, however, for the polite reply despite my intrusion (softened by your wink).:D

Why are ENFPS and INTJS/INFJS considered compatible for relationships? I know the basics of it but I'd like to hear some ENFP/INTJ/INFJ opinions
ENFPS: what do you like the most about INTJS/INFJS and what do you dislike?
INTJS/INFJS: same question

Ni is the peanutbutter to our Ne jelly in a lot of ways. it's the other half of the intuitive whole, and it can feel like a superpower when they get together.

I just found the most ENFP character ever in a movie that's pretty much a thesis on ENFP. It's on Netflix. You must watch!

After reading this thread I have found that I suffer from some common ENFP issues as well.

It's called Happy-Go-Lucky. It's a series of vignettes in the life of this woman, Poppy, a hyper ENFP e7 sx/so in her 30's. It's advertised as a 'feel good' movie, but it's not really, there's just no convenient tagline to describe it. There are definite dark moments, lack of self-concern when dealing with a homeless person, an encounter with man who gets dangerously obsessed, and of course accuses her of leading him on. The most fun is reading the discussion on IMDB, it's classic introvert T vs ENFP rage.

Man, I agree wtih you anti-Poppy people.

The girl was a manic mess. If I were in the room with her for 5 mintues I'd be drained and exhasted. I'm an introvert who likes parties and often likes being in crowds, but with faced with an emotional vampire like Poppy I'd go into uber introvert mode.

This film was overrated and was SO not what I was expecting. I was hoping for a happy Amelie type experience, but instead I got giddy crazed Poppy. Down, girl!

I would gladly watch any movie...ENFP characters or not...based solely on your recommendation...and I really appreciate this. What I take away from this clip though is...the Spanish don't seem all that different from the Italians... (I've travelled and lived in so many places but have never been to Spain and am seriously just now making this connection.) 'Italian' is thought to be an ESFP culture.


Got to see it...

Hey Sprout...I hope you are well :)

I find her very obnoxious.

This is not how I usually feel about ENFPs.

Not sayin she isn't one.

Just sayin.

I know low-key ENFPs, but I also know at least one ENFP like this. I think even the low-key ENFPs see ourselves as looking like that.

Yeah, I was thinkin that...

I think it's almost like a reflection of how she thinks she looks...

While in reality she really doesn't look nearly that awkward at all...

Been a little nihilistic, but I'm otherwise good. The disability claim for my ADHD went through, so that should help with gas...

It really depends on the region, you definitely won't have the same vibe in Toscany and Campania (and all the south)... Not only because of the cliché south=extraverts and north=introverts, but you'll find more Se-Fe in south, while the north cities are full of dutiful achievers (J).

She is.
She's the kind of person you'd like to see for fun (in small doses), but not the one you want to talk to more "seriously" or abstractly (unless you want some empty insights).
