I just was reading that resurrected ENFJ thread and noticed a few ENFJs said they had previously thought that ENFJs and INFJs were just slight variations of each other, but now don't. What are the differences you see? (I think there might be a thread on this, so if someone links me, I'll merge it).
Differences I see:
ENFJs are in some ways even more private than INFJs. They throw stuff out there, disguised in silliness to see if anyone will dig deeper. They are really reluctant though to show their ugly side to people, lest those people feel overburdened by it.
ENFJs are much more likely to have remorse for speaking their mind too openly, whereas INFJs are more likely to wish they had said more.
ENFJs suffer from way more guilt than the INFJs I know. They are more likely to blame themselves or feel responsible for making everyone happy.
ENFJs have incredible amounts of energy.
I'm not sure if these are accurate, but they are the ones I tend to think of. I'd be curious to see what ENFJs have to say.
