ENFP
Basic Habits of Mind
Driven toward new ideas and possibilities by Extraverted Intuiting, ENFPs like “going with the flow.” They connect current experience to possible future circumstances. Introverted Feeling aids their imagination through decisive judgments about whether situations and solutions are acceptable or not. Drawn toward people and people-related concerns, they try to understand relationships in context.
Introverted Thinking and Introverted Sensing also aid ENFPs. Introverted Thinking often provides incisive analysis that leads to questioning the current state. Introverted Sensing anchors or internally “grounds” experience and provides a sense of confidence about a course of action.
While on the inside ENFPs are indeed quite decisive once options have been explored, the face they show to others often appears as too open to possibilities, or lacking in direction, overly process oriented, and not planning thoroughly. They can fail to make their internal judgments known.
Motivation
· ENFPs are motivated by sharing ideas, brainstorming, and engaging with others to solve personal problems.
· Flexible environments that encourage innovation and looking for new connections among experiences and ideas are great motivators for them.
