With my personality, that is. I can't decide whether or not I'm an ENFP or an ENFJ. Both of them describe me pretty well for the most part. Whenever I take tests (I've taken like 3) it says I'm an ENFP, but I can't help but wonder. Both my T and my J are exceptionally high for these scores (I'm like 35% T and 40% J according to the percentage thingies) and I wonder if that's not why I'm a bit close to an ENFJ without actually being an ENFJ. I keep looking around on the internet and, like I said, both personality types describe me. Would anyone like to help me find my true socionics identity? o: |

Thats ok. its more about using the test to help you grow. Being aware of your faults and staking steps to make them better. So if your a little more of this or that or shift a little thats normal. Besides most people at work must use a lot of Te.

ENFJs are the givers. They tend to reflect the emotions of others and are always willing to set aside their personal time for others. >.> They can have trouble differentiating their own emotions and problems from those around them. They're definitely people pleasers, even at a young age, and they do like the parental role in nurturing others.
ENFPs are the champions. They feed on the emotions of others and use them to understand themselves and other people. It is important for ENFPs to be true to themselves, to be genuine. They will not compromise their sense of self for anything or anyone - though they prefer harmonious relationships and value connections. ENFPs connect more on a loving friend level, wanting everyone to be equal....even to the point where they may be aggressive to authority....or be uncomfortable in any position of authority. |

Both my T and my J are exceptionally high for these scores Ignore the I/E scores and the J/P scores and look at the function hierarchy. I used to score INTJ on these tests a lot, though the N/S was always around 50/50 and T/F was around 90/10. I scored 'I' a lot not because other people are draining, but because I used to really hate them.
I dunno, that being said, my gut instinct says you're an ENFJ, only because you're trying to "decide" whether you're ENFP or ENFJ. (And you wrote in complete sentences-- in a paragraph with complete dramatic unity nonetheless! -- with no spelling mistakes.) I've noticed ENFPs like to break out into stream-of-consciousness mode. |

Well I have reflected upon it for a while and read the arguments and information. I decided that I'm an ENFP, but I'm a /smart/ ENFP. o: SHOCKER. And my J is more developed than most Ps. Alsooo based on several ENFP/ENFJ descriptions I am definitely more of an ENFP. XD So there. Thank you. c: |

I take great offense to that JH. I'll have you know that I'm extremely ENFP and can still form a coherent, complete sentence. My mother was an English teacher. |

Aly, you're a big dork. I'm sure there's an ENFP spelling bee out there for you someplace... |

I got 'beautiful' wrong in a second grade spelling bee. It scarred me. I don't spell in front of people anymore. O.O |

-pats aly- It's okay, I feel your pain. I used to be so arrogant because I could pronounce big words. Then I mispronounced "capillary" while reading once, and it was promptly rubbed in my face. I'm scared when I come across a word I'm not sure of now. XD |

I agree... *especially* when confused about J/P, looking at the cognitive functions and function heirarchy (there are fantastic descriptions in our wiki, written by one of the inactive members here) helps a lot. An ENFJ would be Fe/Ni, and an ENFP would be Ne/Fi. It's a lot easier when you have two definite things you should (if the theory is right) identify more with than it is to try to figure out "whether I like to be flexible or have a definite plan" and things like that.
But, since you've decided anyway, it's sort of a moot point. |

I tend to have a few minor inconveniences with this identity thing as well. I've taken quite a few of those MBTI test thingys and mostly end up getting ENFP, although I've also gotten ENTP a few times.
I've read the descriptions of both, seem to be much closer to ENFP but even so characteristics of ENTP detailed profiles fit the description of mine o.O |

ENTPs are done with unpleasant relationships without any trouble. They move on with surprising ease....and perhaps a little bit of residual anger. ENFPs have trouble letting go of ANY relationship, and even the ones they do let go of have a habit of popping back up. ENTPs value honesty - they'd resent someone not being straight with them more than they'd be upset by rejection/criticism/etc. ENFPs appreciate a little bit of tact when it comes to giving them bad news. ENTPs are masters of debate - they like to argue for the sport of it....sometimes without knowing when to stop. ENFPs are more interested in discovery than proving anything, enjoying debate for the sake of understanding other people and themselves. ENTPs are competitive to the point of getting tunnel-vision. ENFPs are competitive, but lose interest and get frustrated when other people are willing to win at all costs...and lose the human connection aspect of a game. |
