In terms of impressions, I find that INFPs come off as significantly more cool-headed and unflappable than ENFPs (who come off as spastic...though that's sort of their charm.)
guilty as charged. being introverted and cool headed would be so much cooler.
It doesn't mean INFPs are all cool-headed (that's usually INTx...) it means that they're less expressive, etc. They're Fi doms, for pete's sake. However, of course, people of varied types can be more even-keeled or neurotic, and that depends on the individual themselves.
I agee with the energy, loudness, etc. of the ENFP generallybut there have definately been deviations in this from my observations. Some of the ENFP's on this board seem fairly mellow and occasionally I've seen an INFP come off like a fire-cracker.. (Saturned being one off the top of my head) =)
Saturned, if you see this, its complimentary
I think most ENFPs sort of go between calm, collected and low energy to fun, crazy and wild. would you relate to this?

Totally just remembered something else I wanted to add in here..
looking at the inferior functions.. ENFP inferior Si
Ex. that I've seen..
Getting so caught up with things (socializing, researching, reading, whatever the hell the ENFP does hehe) they tend to forget simple body queue's like the need to use the bathroom, the need to eat, etc. until it becomes overwhelming. Sooo true in my case. If I had a dollar for every "potty dance" I've done when *suddenly realizizing* this can't wait, I might be rich.. and be able to sit on this forum forever bullshitting
The inferior Te in INFP's.. anyone offer up a good example?

I actually think this is more prone to happen with INXP's. INTP's and INFP's can be notoriously bad at forgetting to eat or use the restroom when they are concentrating on something. I've never had a problem with the 'body cues'...though sometimes I have to count the days when I've last showered...
Really? I came across the following description (from wikisocion, diff system, but I thought the Si function itself would be the same, and perhaps it is not, clarification?) on how Si plays out for the ENFP
* Tends to be chronically unaware of his own bodily processes, including physiological sensations and a sense of balance and alignment with one's true desires. He sometimes has peculiar preferences or tastes, which he himself is unable to understand or fulfill.
* In terms of physical sensations, will almost always choose the familiar over the novel, because they know that the familiar is reliable in the positive sensation it delivers. will typically have a single item he orders at certain restaurants without fail; if he isn't in the mood for that item he doesn't eat there. He will stubbornly refuse to eat anything that he knows he does not like, refusing to try a "new recipe" of anything that he did not like before.
* would much rather sleep in his own bed than anywhere else as a matter of familiarity, but this preference never enters his mind when a friend invites him to stay the night, sometimes resulting in a lack of quality sleep that he will forget about the next time around.
*almost never emphasizes his attractiveness or sexuality overtly and publicly, but dreams of being pleasing to the senses to at least a small circle of trusted friends and partners who are able to develop and enhance his sexuality and attractiveness in a trusting atmosphere. He often will obsess about his looks in front of the mirror, trying to get the right combination of preparedness and liberated comfort. It is embarrassing to come to an event overdressed, as he would rather look like they simply came on a whim rather than over-prepared. They will usually undermine the time spent in preparation and will avoid speaking on the topic altogether.
*When getting sick, may stubbornly refuse or "conveniently forget" to take any sort of medicine. Their chosen method of dealing with sickness and physical discomfort is ignoring it until it can no longer be ignored.
*will frequently forget meals and sleep when excitedly working on a new project or in some sort of social gathering. Exhaustion, hunger, thirst, and full bladders will be ignored until the need is overwhelming and affects concentration.
can't say I relate to this one. if I'm uncomfortable, I notice immediately. I'm always noticing things like "my hair is a mess" "omg that guy walks like an ogre" "this chair is so uncomfortable" but also good things. usually this will be a pretty bird, a cute baby or a something that's really cool looking. only things that stand out catch my attention though. for instance, if you asked me to desribe a room I've been in 50 times, you probably wouldn't get a very thorough answer
this doesn't describe me at all. I pamper the hell out of myself and subtly flaunt my sexuality all over the place.
I am like this, too. Of course I'm also very in touch with my Si, and I always notice when acquaintences get haircuts, etc.
Should we be calling you Queen Elfboy instead?
if you insist on a different title, Lord Elf, Master Elf and Elfboy the Diva are all fine
wikisocion stuff about aspirational Si
