*summons our resident ENFP 8 [MENTION=4939]kyuuei[/MENTION]*
Female ENFP 4w5, checking in.
i just smmoned you as living proof. Apparently the existence of enfp 8s is being questioned...
Apparently! It needs correcting immediately!
At the OP: I'll take "None of the above" for $1,000.
/not the OP but hands you $1,000 anyway
Are you sure you want to trust me with $1,000 worth of power?
To show my support for the existence of e8 ENFPs I'm willing to take the chance.
.. I will spare you in the destined fire this thread will soon become.
[MENTION=18820]Dancing_Queen[/MENTION] I summon you once again!
It actually seems perfectly feasible. 8w7 sort of fits with the whole aggressive social activist stereotype given to the type. They'll be the type to really call people out on their bullshit whenever they're offended by something unethical.
Basically, they'd be like a more ethical, open-minded version of Tony Soprano (ESTJ 8w7 So/Sx)
Type 8 is basically all about domineering and controlling their environment and I can't imagine an ENFP to be this way. I may be wrong, but hey, that's only my oppinion.
I would imagine an ENFP 8 would be more similar to King David from the Bible, John Brown (the abolitionist) or Kamina from Gurren Lagann
I should have added it despite my own doubts. But since 8s are considered to be more authoritarian and bossy and typically go along with ExTJ types I just can't imagine that combination.
Btw, I know a ESTJ 8 girl and she is really worst of the worst! (Not to be generalizing)
It's said in most descriptions that 8's basic desire is to control and lead others and since that collides with the ENFP's worldview which is kind of the "freedom for everyone" attitude (including me), ]ENFP 8s would probably not know how to behave or react to people in specific situatons.
Of course a lot of those enneagram descriptions are biased and I can only speak for myself, not for other ENFPs, but I'm not sure if I want 8s in the ENFP club.
Eh, my grandpa's an ESTJ 8w7 and he's cool. Really pushy sometimes but we all have our flaws.
Dunno what @mmhmm's been up to lately but she sure sounded like an ENFP 8 if there ever was one. Independent, headstrong, determined, resilient, unafraid.
