My sister tested as an ENFJ... She is certainly more... explosive, than I am. Whatever it is she's feeling at the time, good or bad, it's right there for everyone to see, right in your face, no escaping it.
Me too. I am explosive. I believe that if I am not, no one will get to know the true me, so I take that risk.
She misses people much more quickly than I do, but we both seem to worry about and want to help people in our own ways.
I miss ppl so much that I am around ppl 24/7. Literally. Constantly. I have to pull myself off all social arenas like a leech so I can rest. But I would ALWAYS prefer to not rest, to be right in the thick of it. If I don't rest, I explode in a BAD way.
A good example of an ENFJ is Eve from the movie 'Driving Lessons.' She's zany, intelligent, sophisticated, and just a wee bit of a nutter.
ENFJs always seem to be moving. Movemovemovemove. If they aren't doing something they burn themselves up with their intensity.
Oh YEAH. If I am not moving I surely do burn myself up w/ my intensity.
... in control of the wheel like with ENFJs.
I think this is the influence of the stronger Se among ENFJs when compared to INFJs. I am so right there, up front and center, with life. Constantly. Its too exciting not to be. I do my best to compute self-awareness stuff as I go just so I can be up front and center, and take fewer breaks. This actually helps quite well- really does increase my stamina.
I find the ENFJs I know tend to be warmer more quickly to people ...an ENFJ is diving in: "The best way to find out how deep the water is is to jump in!" .
She will try to hide this when around people she doesn't know so well, but to friends and family, she's very bad at keeping us out of the know. Her face really says it all. She's also more likely to react and say things without thinking them through.
I have found a way to let my less than pleasant emotions out in a way that makes others comfortable.
Its true, if I am unhappy I am a bit of a nutter. I am rather out in the open, however, with this awareness. I am more than happy to own up to my weaknesses, and enjoy telling the most dramatic, funny stories of my life. In fact, I am happy to entertain all friends and family...and just those passing by...with hysterical stories of self mishaps. Its that ENFJ
TRAGIC sense of humor. It entertains me AND those around me- and lets off my "nutter" steam. Cause I can't stop laughing at myself.
This is from wikisocionics, excerpt from the EIE type:
GAMLETKA seems self-sufficient and irresistable with her striking skill, before people, to be in an excellent, elevated mood... ...her emotions are so beautiful that next to her one cannot fail to yield to her good mood...
But if she is not in the spirit - woe befall all, woe! But we will not focus our attention on this.
Do you see how quickly the tune changes? LOL This is such a great descriptor of me. I read this to my girls at work, for fun, and we laughed for days. They say to me now all the time, "Woe be unto all, WOE."
