I don't know any ENFPs closely, so I can give is perception than knowledge of what truly is. The INFPs I know tend to hold on impressions created by others - whether good or negative - and hold on to them, such that the nature of future interaction with a person will be somewhat settled by these impressions. If a person does something that I disapprove of, more often than not, I'll always relate that back to the person, even if they prove to be a virtuous character - the impression might be in the deepest corner of my mind, but it will still be there. The ENFPs I've met, on the other hand, are less interested in stocking such information (inferior Si?) and - well, it's hard to put my finger on what exactly they do, but - life goes on.
As well, I've noticed that ENFPs tend to be a bit more structured in that they know what they have to accomplish and have an idea of what to do to get there, while INFPs (or maybe just me) wait for the muses to inspire them.
Ah. I can relate to the bolded. Like for example, sometimes I look at my peers and judge them based on what I think is cool or uncool, smart or stupid (like, let's say someone is nice, but does a lot of things typical adolescents do and does nothing but smoke weed; I'd be like, "Yeah, she's nice, but she doesn't seem to have any direction in life or doesn't seem interesting by my standards. So, I wouldn't befriend her.").
Should this make me Fi-dominant? Thanks for elaborating futher BTW.
