For the ENFPs that are actually out there doing something world changing, what are you doing and how did you end up doing it? Or if you are another type who knows an ENFP is this position, tell us their story.
People seem to attach ENFPs to being great humanitarians. From the ones I've met very few of us actually are (at least on the big scale). I know somewhere deep there is a drive to be, but there is always other interests and pursuits. If you look at the careers thread, these are what ENFPs are doing,
Philosophy
Biochemistry
Information Systems
Neuroscience
Mathematics/Liberal Studies/Biology(Environmental)/Psychology
English/Creative Writing
Mechanical Engineering
Electrical Engineering/Physics
Art History
Psychology
English Literature
Physical Anthropology
Only one doing psychology even, social work and the like is nowhere to be seen. We are among the less religious types also, and religion seems to be an entry to a lot of humanitarian work.
So firstly I'd like to know ENFP's experiences doing humanitarian work.
And secondly I want to ask: are we not really that humanitarian except in theory, or do we want to be and are running into some kind of barrier?
