Just wondering if anyone else has noticed a pattern in ENFP smiles?

(Joseph Gordon-Levitt [seriously, that smile makes me giggle], Andrew McMahon of Something Corporate/Jack's Mannequin, Louis C K, and Noel Fielding; respectively)

These are people (well, famous people) whom I've been drawn to over the years. Between my own inferences and help of the internet, I've come to believe that all of these men are ENFPs. I can't help but notice this amazing, genuine almost I'm-in-the-middle-of-something-and-suddenly-I-can't-believe-how-awesome-it-is smile that's almost a smirk.

Unfortunately, I'm a lonely INFJ girl with no real ENFPs in my life. Wondering if this is something anyone else has noticed, or if I just like pretty smiles.

According to [MENTION=11928]Vetani[/MENTION] I look like an IEE and have an H-P cognition gaze. I don't know how much MBTI-wise I look like an ENFP so I'll leave that up to you/others. :D



(Also keep in mind that I'm so/sx and I think an ENFP so/sx would have a very different expression than an ENFP sp/sx)

Also FWIW, I have no idea what Joseph GL's type is but his grin totally reminds me of my INFP friend's.

Just look in the eyes; look out for a gaze that penetrates; as if it's looking through you. They're usually focused on whatever they're looking at.

I've noticed a weird mix of eyes with ENFP's. Some seem very focused. Other ENFP's seem to have bouncy eyes. As though they really aren't here on the same plane.

(I just felt like posting some Ariana after last night. I may use this pic as my next avatar - I love ENFPs looking fierce. I'm always smiling like a goof.)

I think the focus tends to not be so much on what the eye meets, but what the mind meets when looking at something(hence looking like they look through you).

people always say that i look like a have very "lively" or intense eyes. i've heard that since my childhood. basically that i look very interested or intelligent.
the second thing is that i'm often "told off" (in a nice way) for not paying attention or bouncing a lot with my eyes. so i guess both things are true. i know that if i'm not engaged in conversation, then i'm probably looking around observing everyone and jumping from most interesting to most interesting. i have a non-judgmental thing of just looking and noticing patterns or interesting things. at the same time that i'm doing this, my mind wanders off to other things i remember, like what i read in the newspaper, to a conversation i had with a friend, to plans for the near future. my mind is always at top speed and alternating between observing the real world and going into my imagination. oh, and i don't have a lot of patience for sitting still and listening to you talk...if what you meant to say is not clear within a few seconds, then my mind just wanders off.

I smile a lot and don't really mean to. I believe that it's genuine, and I have kind if a large mouth, so whatever all that means, that's me. I'm probably most prone to the fourth image of smiles you posted.

When you mean 'bouncy', do you mean that their eyes open up so wide as if it gives the impression of a ball, looking out for possibilities or opportunities?

I think Ariana Grande is a good example of this; she smiles with her eyes but you can tell she's looking through you, which gives her a soft, yet focused gaze.

Might want to compare her and Olivia Munn, whom I think is another ENFP. While her eyes are less 'bouncy', they're just as focused.

Sort of like what Pink graffiti said:

people always say that i look like a have very "lively" or intense eyes. i've heard that since my childhood. basically that i look very interested or intelligent.
the second thing is that i'm often "told off" (in a nice way) for not paying attention or bouncing a lot with my eyes. so i guess both things are true. i know that if i'm not engaged in conversation, then i'm probably looking around observing everyone and jumping from most interesting to most interesting. i have a non-judgmental thing of just looking and noticing patterns or interesting things. at the same time that i'm doing this, my mind wanders off to other things i remember, like what i read in the newspaper, to a conversation i had with a friend, to plans for the near future. my mind is always at top speed and alternating between observing the real world and going into my imagination. oh, and i don't have a lot of patience for sitting still and listening to you talk...if what you meant to say is not clear within a few seconds, then my mind just wanders off.

There are two ENFP's I know of, in particular, who had these very sort of 'bouncy' eyes. They seemed more heavily in their Ne world with far less Si to stabilize them.

I've met other ENFP's who were more grounded, too. Could be an enneagram difference. ENFP 7's vs ENFP 4's, maybe?

All the ENFPs I know have very "sparkly" eyes when they smile. Their smiles always seem very genuine, too. Maybe that's why I like ENFPs so much.
