O yes, that reflects my schooling as well. I remember constantly making the noise-maker's list and for being the leader of my little group of friends. If someone did something wrong to another, I would be told about it almost as if my disapproval would've made a difference. I do remember mothering my friends, especially those I thought were vulnerable and being somewhat protective. And stopping kids at a new school from excluding one girl from the game. Somehow I did this without fear, though I was new! Weird. I also was that annoying outspoken child throughout....until some point in my adolescence, then trouble began.I never thought of myself as an extrovert until last year. I was never as outgoing as my ENTP bro or ENFP sis or my ESFP bf. I go through periods without a lot of interaction. I am very introspective.
But, looking back, I was the most outspoken student in every class and grade from preschool to grad school. Hell, I should post my preschool class picture and I am clearly the most extroverted child there..... (note to self, find old photo album). Class of 300 students and I am the one bantering with the professor. At a new workplace and I am the one making the rounds, chatting coworkers up. I was the person told I have "too much personality" for my profession.
My supposed introversion reflected defensive ego constructs from a difficult childhood.
I don't know for sure you are a ENFJ. But ENFJs are not the stereotypes from the internet.
I am also not 100% certain of ENFJ but it feels most comfortable for now. I have been assured I am an unmistakable FE Dom by someone who really knows what they are talking about. Took him just a few minutes and he claims it is fairly hard to miss. If that's right, my only options are ENFJ or ESFJ. Between those two, I feel ENFJ comes closest to how I experience life, but I am not completely shutting out ESFJ. Just taking things slowly.
