Yet another study that, in not so subtle terms, that says Open, Conscientious, Extraverted, and Agreeable are positively correlated with lots of good things. [...snipped]
Extraverted, Open, Agreeable, and Conscientious on the Big Five test correspond more or less to Extraversion, iNtuition, Feeling, and Judging on the MBTI.* Put them together, and you get ENFJ.
I think it's reasonable to say that Extraversion, iNtuition, Feeling, and Judging are the most pro-social cognitive functions, in that they will meet with the most social approval in Western society. But that doesn't mean that they are the best for every situation or career.
Just to provide one example:
Dr. Jordan Peterson is a controversial political figure, but he's also an accomplished clinical psychologist and has taught at Harvard. He has studied personality traits extensively and even created his own personality tests. He says that he is an ENFJ by his own accounting (high in Extraversion, Openness, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness on the Big Five test), and he largely agrees that those qualities are the healthiest and most pro-social. But, for example, he also argues that Western values often
punish excessive Agreeableness (which is Feeling on MBTI). To spell it out: Many aspects of the Western world
reward competitiveness and drive and
punish excessive compliance and generosity (in the sense of being a doormat). Hence Dr. Peterson's own rather combative politics: He says that some things just need to be fought out rather than compromised (in other words, Competitiveness is often preferable to Agreeableness).
In summary, it's a mixed bag. All these cognitive functions and their usefulness depend on context and what you want to accomplish with your life.
