Stubborn ENFP story....here is story about a disagreement my ENFP ex and I had when we first started dating.

I had limewire running and I was looking for songs Bob Marley's Legend alb (yeah, this is years ago). I said goddam, some stupidhead has tagged Don't worry be Happy as Bob Marley. The ex said yeah he did a cover. I knew that Bob Marley had died before the Bobby McFerrin song came out so I said ummmm I think you will find that this is just named wrong, it happens. He started getting a little heated about it and saying no no no....maybe Bobby did a cover of this Bob Marley song called Don't Worry be Happy.....so I d/l the Bobby McFerrin song and the Bob Marley (tagged wrong) song. I played them and he thought they were different. I was gobsmacked...so I played the first few seconds of each start of the vocals again a couple of times....he was convinced they were different. I googled Bob Marley's death 1981, I gogoled Bobby McFerrin's song release 1986. I went and googled Bob Marley's discography and he was still dubious. I simply could not convince him with any logic. It wasn't until a couple of days later that he said yeah you were right....I thought he was kidding and just having me on....but later I realised after a few arguments that his arguing style is just simply argue until he gets stabbed or his opponent becomes bored and walks away.

He later used this Bob Marley argument to state how stubborn I was in proving my "rightness" o_O
God help us if every ENFP was like him LOL

I myself have been accused of being stubborn but I generally think that if there is a good argument that makes sense I will see that I'm wrong...I do back down. My mother prefers to call me determined. I can live with that

OMG, this is hilarious!  Mostly because it sounds a lot like me as a teenager.  I would argue a point long after I stopped believing it, just so I wouldn't have to admit I had made a mistake.  Thankfully, I don't do that any more.

Perhaps this sounds sort of familiar....I just cant help it though.  Part of it is that while I may be argueing in the moment with full force, I often dont really have anything vested in the outcome so i can drop it in a second and forget we were even talking about an issue.   I once had an entp online call me combative, but really I just was waiting for them to argue me down from my position.  The "keep going until I get stabbed" line is very fitting, although I'll take data, data even being another person's experience that differs from my own, as enough to alter my position.  I am in the process of realizing most people dont think this is very fun, so I am trying to stop debating things as a result.

stubborn?  More tenacious.

ENFPs can sometimes become stubborn when their integrity or ethics are questioned

Mostly because it sounds a lot like me as a teenager.
