ENFP - Idealist Champion

I read the description and ENFP makes sense to me. Opened my eyes to my lack of shyness and onomatopoetic way of speaking.
Famous people: Spielberg, Tim Burton, Keanu Reeves, and my absolute favorite... Bill Cosby.

I guess I'm a bull and this world is my china shop,
So I'll quote pudding pop Bill, "zip zop zoobity bop!"

Hey 0685, hope you aren't in college and using the last 4 of your SSN for you Username. That would be so cliche. But I digress.

I'm an ENFP (borderline F/T) and I used to have an INTJ girlfriend. Long time ago (19 years ago, dang I feel old now). She haunts me to this day.

Keirsey said, and it is very well seen, in relationships.
Most important - N with N, or S with S, (communication style)
2nd most important - I with E (complimentary)

For us poor saps, that means the INFJ is the strongest match in the first 2 categories, being 1st iN (intoverted iNtuition), 2nd eF (extroverted Feeling) the other 3 types don't match as closely, but still work. I think in my case, being borderline N/T, the INTJ fit just as well as the INFJ.

Sorry to hear about the Hate, INTJ's really suck at not being able to be cuddly, they don't understand it.


ENFP — Discoverer Advocate Ne Fi T'e Si | Ni Fe Ti Se
INTJ — Conceptualizer Director Ni T'e Fi Se | Ne Ti Fe Si
INFJ — Foreseer Developer Ni Fe Ti Se | Ne Fi T'e Si
INTP — Designer Theorizer Ti Ne Si Fe | T'e Ni Se Fi
INFP — Harmonizer Clarifier Fi Ne Si T'e | Fe Ni Se Ti

Hahaha, that would be a pretty bold move on my part then, eh?

I enjoy lengthy discussions and had really good memorable moment's with INTJ type friend's but I think they are too cerebral for my taste. Sometimes they think I don't get them when it's not the case at all.

INFP women can be my woman anyday. They are rare to come across but when they do....they give ME the feeling of being a Deer in the headlights. If she is intelligent and our values are in alignment then my god.....well.....that's a keeper for me or at least one can only hope so.

Considering my previous questions about my personality type and recent events in my life, I retook the test, and once again, I scored as an INTJ:

I 56
N 88
T 75
J 33

But I love cuddling... I literally just spent the past couple of hours cuddling with a girl while we studied for an exam tomorrow.

of the 16 types, the ENFP is said to be the ESP or MINDREADER type.
Having the :

(E)xternal info gathering from (E)-xtroversion helps with looking for new info from other people, not relying on what was there last time, helping you see trends and new info, in all contexts.

i(N)tuitive types deal well in the abstract [things that aren't concrete] the crazy interactions between people and the things that influence them can be very abstract, and (S) types my not see the complex interactions that are not 1:1. Abstract thought can help with the investigation and discovery of convoluted thought processes and complex 15 step cause/effect scenarios that are hard to identify unless they are shown to you.

(F)eeling ability to understand feelings of other people. The (T) types can be seen cold and calculating (they aren't, they just don't do the feelings as well, so they can be seen as cold)

(P)erceptive helps in open endedness that will help not jump to a conclusion and slam the door shut to other possibilities, like looking into what a person really means, instead of saying "I think they mean this - case closed - no room for debate - next" like a strong (J) might. (J)'s liking to have closure rather than openendedness.

Here are numbers from
http://www.massmatch.com/MBTI-2.php
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers-Brigg..._Indicator
They show the estimated percent of the USA population for each type, they are estimates.

ENFJ-TEACHER 3-5% 2–5%
INFJ-COUNSELOR 2-3% 1–3%
ENFP-CHAMPION 6-8% 6–8%
INFP-HEALER 4-5% 4–5%

ENTJ-FIELDMARSH 3-5% 2–5%
INTJ-MASTERMIND 3-4% 2–4%
ENTP-INVENTOR 4-7% 2–5%
INTP-ARCHITECT 5-6% 3–5%

So only 10-18% of people are INxx
So only 5-8% of people are INFx
and since (F) types are the one type that isn't 50:50 based on sex, there are 2:1 more females, you have an advantage, instead of a 50/50 split it is 33M/66F. So 3.33%-5.33% of people are both INFx and Female. Good luck finding those huh? Go find 100 girls between 18-25 years old, and 4 will be INFx. I'm an mechanical engineer, In college, there were 3 girls in the M.E. program in my year. I'm pretty sure they were 100% non-INFx.

also, INFP is the "Bottle it up inside until it blows up" personality as well. There can be some intense emotional drama there when the bottle gets open. Bring on the rain [Napalm] of emotion when this introvert lets loose.

I can't say it is that ways always, I know I've got some good cuddling from an INTJ before, but ... alas these are steriotypes, and every type can use it's opposite.

The (E) can use (I) functions, the (N) can use (S) functions, the S) can use (T) functions and the (J) can use (P) functions and vice versa.
With a small exception of the 100% (S) not being able to do (N) functions, they just don't, peice of brain missing or something.

But you go with what you prefer. Your preference is what makes your Personality TYPE. If you are in a situation where you don't have a choice, THEN you can't do what you prefer, you do what you are forced to. These are the situations that use a NON-PREFERRED function.

I'm guessing you told yourself, "There is no thinking in cuddling, I should just not think about it, or I'll wreck the cuddle." And enjoyed it. If you weren't looking for a touchy-feely situation, you may not have gotten into one like an (F) type could have.

ISTJ The super reliable inspector. That fits, I'm a cop.

ENTJ for what it's worth. I do believe that the different personality types will process the mones differently. One may not see as much from the I types in my experience.

Good point FD. And by the way, how in the hell do you guys know what type your hook ups and casual girlfriends are? Do you make them do a test when you meet? LOL

Funny story. When we took these tests at work as a group building excersise I made note of other people types.

There is my coffee buddy who gets along with me great she's an intp which is a perfect romantic match for an entj.


We're just having coffee though. There is a book I would like everyone to read called The professional Bachelor which breaks down female personality types . See what you think but it's bang on. A fun read and Halo you will laugh too.

Well this entj is in a small town of Trebon in the Czech Repulic.. Going to hunt down some food andnim covered with impi red. Put on 5 sprays earlier before going to the grocery store and the woman at the checkout was really messed up. Confused really.

As far as testing I don't believe men test women that much. I'm loaded with none and will take a 1 km walk to get some diner. Let you know how it works out
