Like the ENFJ's are going to tell you how they do it?

I love it when they say - I don't dooooo that but, they will be the first to say how easily they can sway opinion or talk anyone into anything or twist things to suit the situation. And for some, I don't even think they're aware that they do it. I will say that at least some of the time, it's not done with malicious intent but, a lot of time it is.

hey since you have fe ni how good are you at reading people,motivations intensions,even subconsious infleunces,you say qoute''often long before they even were clued in consciously'' can you see into peoples subconsious and things about them that they are not even awe of?give an eg

Reading a room is simple. The anxious, the happy, the angry, the horny, etc., without even effort. I read the emotions of others easier than I read my own. And when I am in a zone, I can say the right words to push them in a direction.

From my experience, many if not most have a serious delay in figuring out how they feel, but I read it on them instantly, even not visually.

Here is an example I shared on my blog months ago. I was in a waiting room and started chatting with an older woman. She seemed lonely and bothered. As we talked, I brought up simplifying our lives and moving on from emotional baggage. She confessed to be overwhelmed by her possessions, which prevented her from moving back to her home town (her husband had been dead for over a decade, her kids had moved away, and nothing held her but her stuff (something she said a friend commented on).

So, in 10 minutes of talking, she went from being burdened by a weight of not being able to move to being free to live the rest of her life as she really wanted to do so.

She thanked me tremendously for my advice.

Now do this only to help others. If I hurt others, I get their pain. As such, I can't use my skills to take advantage of anyone. I could never be a Trump type salesman. I couldn't offer crap and pretend it was a 5 star meal.

Now, perhaps my "good" isn't the "good" someone else perceives. Like all people, I make mistakes. I actually feel bad about flipping my one classmate from a Bircher to a Commie, because I did just for kicks as a kid. I could never do that today......

not to put enfjs in a bad light but the cult leader jim jones was an enfj and managed to influence thousands of people to commit suicide (not sure how he did it) but anyways..
