The most easiest way I found is to see it this way:

- Where do you get your energy from?
- Being with people, outside environment>> then Extrovert
- Being alone and reflecting >> then Introvert

You know, this is something I always have trouble answering myself. I have little doubt in my mind that I'm an NP and my morals definitely mean the world to me (F). I like to think I'm very extroverted but the truth is I'm very selective of when to be extroverted. At home I behave more and more like a loner. I don't talk that much around here. When I'm with my friends I burst, and I'm the life of the party, you could say.

But still what des it mean to "get energy from"?? I love being with my friends but I also like being alone, doing nothing but watching movies or listening to music all day. The first thing I do when I arrive home is to immerse myself in the peacefulness and solitude of my room, for example.

ENFPs are more difficult to negotiate with than INFPs. ENFPs can be very emphatic where as INFPs stay in the negotiation even though they may well make it clear that they are not going to change because basically they prefer the answer they have at the moment. ENFPs are more likely to get all flustered in those conversations.

I know this thread has been dead for like a year, but this statement really helps me a great deal. If what you say is true, then I act more like an ENFP.
