@@TheBittenBullet I've done that before, good guess.

Enfp here. Thank you for bringing this my attention. I 100% agree it’s this strong empathy we have that can make us manipulative. I think it’s prob stated better that we are EXTREMELY INTUITIVE and because Of that power we then can manipulate situations. So, it’s not that we’re manipulative it’s just that we’re able to manipulate situations, Im not sure if that makes sense but that’s what’s connecting with me. The word “Manipulative” has such a bad connotation. i am insanely good at picking up what another person needs/wants because I’m so hypersensitive to another’s energy, verbal & non verbal cues. And i can sense what they need or are wanting. this has made me HIGHLY successful. & being able to read & absorb so much has expanded my skill set &knowledge. I think Tai Lopez really is inspiring others to achieve, his tactic prob is manipulative, however, I think he is doing more good than harm. Same with Tony Robbins and other gurus.

XD I'm a stereotypical friendly English teacher ENFP but I don't think, after experience, that teaching suits ENFPs

@@achilleaben4761 ENFP teacher and I hate teaching. I have many reasons behind this but it does not fit me at all, way too constrictive.

@@tomb3869 same with me !

I'm an ENFP but never have I ever been manipulative. Nor am I selfish. I've watched many videos as well and this has never been said in any of them. I really think he is mixing this up with another type because ENFP is the campaigner not the advocate. The advocate is INFJ and my best friend is one, he is describing her to a T!

ehat did u do?

Emo manipulation 😂

Trust it's not you it's him.

"point out every insecurity in another individual" why is this so trueeee dksnxjs

Yes! I just hold all that I have inside, but I do say it, holy shit..... I did this to my mom who used to always say bad stuff to me and to put me down. When I finally answered her properly, she was just 😶😶😶😶 QUIET!!!!!

You sure that's not because you're a woman? Women specialize in being cruel with their language. Not an expert in enfps, so idk.

@@mango38628 Im a male enfp and i feel this way too. I kinda feel like i know peoples weak spot but I try to never use this.

Agreed. Please review the virtue and vice vid for the ENFP where I talk about how charitable they are.

Vani Perez The funny part about what your saying is, you’re not factoring in that most people can’t tell mature, immature, healthy, or damaged, all they see if the image in front of them, Sensing types are less inclined to look beyond what’s presented to them. So it’s best to have someone (an Ne Dominate no less) let us know how Enfp’s can come off, because An SJ type will not look beyond the crazy behavior.

@@jtotheohn1253 exactly, that's true for all types. I am pretty damn sure I have Joker from Batman as demonic archetype and Laughing Buddha as angelic archetype. I'm an INTJ (i.e ESFP subconscious)

My twin flame is an ENFP she is awesome but most just see her as crazy. I myself am a INFJ. We are both born on the same day one year apart and fit every sign of twin flame including our MBTI 🤣

@@XxxXxx-gq2qy The enfp lawyer I know does personal injury commercials, poses in front of an empty courtroom, and has 50 fake positive reviews. One of those.

I agree that we all have room to grow and can see that by observing our own progression from past experiences. I agree with many points and appreciate the effort put into making this video, but I also agree that it is far too blunt and negative. I feel that the selfish/unhealthy ENFPs like Tai Lopez who are addicted to success and are willing to exploit others financially through pyramid schemes are not a fair representative of the majority. ENFPs do naturally develop a identity/brand by connecting research(Ne) to their beliefs(Fi), however myself and most ENFPs find those that exploit this tool to be repulsive. In the same way, while all INFJs are constant empathizers, some are very selective about in who is deserving of this empathy, while others disagree with this behavior and are more charitable with it. From my experience, the sleazy salesperson behavior is also very common in ESTPs. They can lead with selfish convenient/financial reasons(Ti) and use their understanding of others’ situations(Fe) as a manipulation tool to get what they want. In sales, they tend to use facts to convince the other person it is a good purchase, as opposed to soliciting theoretical advise like Tai Lopez. I find it interesting you notice that certain qualities of these two personalities can balance each other out. All of this said, I also understand the approach of this video is meant to be more critical to combat the other fluffy videos out there. In the end, I’m just another typical helpless emotionally reactive ENFP that was too selfish to realize that this video isn’t just for me, but for others learning to better handle my erratic behaviors... Cheers!

I agree what you said ..also I'm starting to read more books now ..and as for manipulative part ..I have to say I was pointed out for being manipulative pretty early in life by a friend and I DID NOT took it very well at that time it really hurt my ego and I did not believe them as I believed I was totally innocent ...but as the time passed I accepted the fact and I accept that I can be selfish and manipulative sometimes (of course I believe I am not a bad person ..but I do question that a lot too ) I guess I will know more about me as I grow up. I'll try meditation as you said a I really need to focus .

Meditation is cool and all, but how and what am I supposed to read? Aside from comics and video game subtitles...

@@jadaleewallace8566 Read any and everything you currently give a damn about. I'm am ENFP and I find that I can get completely immersed in ANYTHING! Whenever that happens I read everything i can about it and watch tons of videos about it until I eventually get burned out or move on. I always have that knowledge with me. Annoyingly so at points. I find myself constantly spewing facts about shit I no longer care about anymore 😂

Google User Your point is exactly how I perceived this info about the ENFP’s. However I always felt misunderstood by most people who thought they knew me. I seldom felt understood by other people. The arrogance I had to put up with was shocking me. When I was in my 20’s I didn’t exactly know myself that well, but my high standarts and morals did not Change over time and I have always been honest and true about them. The only thing that was difficult for me was that I stood on my own with them and that made me difficult to be around with I guess, because no one shared my values back then. I on the other hand, felt guilt tripped by others who were offened by them in some way. Over time I grew out of my naivity and became to know myself even beter which Is why I have better boundaries and can built better foundations that are more healthy. That’s the core here for the ENFP’s I believe.. The problem for ENFP’s is, people that take advantage of the lighthearted or naive nature of ENFP’s. In my 20’s, some people sure were offended when I became aware of myself more and more...and so...what other things I found important than only THEIR lives. They blamed me for persuing self awareness and other people than them. I have done things for these people out of complete submission to them (forgetting myself or out of contact with myself)....and many so called friends tried to buy my goodwill or my presence with them, back when I started being my own person more and more. I did not force them to do give me anything else than friendship and love, but they were making me feel guilty for them giving money and stuff I didn’t ask for, and blaming me for having my own thoughts and feelings. ......They did this, I guess because they needed my approval for something or they wanted to OWN me. Maybe I have been somewhat naive with these types, or maybe I have never been understood. The people that do understand me however, have also stood beside me all the while, but Hey, So did I stand next to them all the while, as well. And these contacts have only become stronger and more beautiful with time. The connections grew in freedom. Which I love so much. These people DO really know me and my quirky weird ways. More so, they love that about me....and can make me laugh about myself with them. Most so called past friends seemed to have had an incredible blind spot in the way I have been myself, and the way I have been there for them. They did not see it. See what I did for them. That is scarry you know? This made me ask for confesions about how I have been perceived by others for a long time. Now I know I AM a good person....as I was then. I have had many parasites in my life in the past who have made me feel unworthy and bad about my ways of personal living, who could only point out what I lacked and or wasn’t giving to them. So that is what I read between the lines about ENFP’s also. I think that most people don’t understand the ENFP (just like they don’t understand the INFJ). I have very good connections with the ISTJ and ESFJ’s (they teach me A LOT and balance me our in such a good way...they are so different from me and just because of that, very good for me). The ENFJ, very good friends, they SEE me and understand my ways. The INFJ in my life is my souls mirror, could not wish for a better partner than him. Every type has its beauty, but I realize that because of what I metioned, I’m more apt to people who feel familiar or safe to me.... *Edited in later: There are bad people in every type. I myself just can not relate to the manipulation part the way he explained it in this video. I have used white lies when I was younger. But only to make things more beautiful, to get myself out of difficult situations and to fulfill my imagination (I did this for my own survival as a child). Not by all means to do harm, or play nasty tricks on people. I have been played like that myself by others, like I said before (maybe by some other ENFP’s who knows). But, Manipulation is inbreaded in us all, you know? Namely to survive and get what we want in life. It begins with being a baby. They manipulate to survive, to get love from the parent. But about the ENFP. The questions are though, do you play people for a fool and harm them in any way by it? or do you want to make peoples worlds better by sharing something magical that they can use for their own lives? I’m disgusted by cruelty, gossip and hard lies, or the use of manipulation to do harm and it has always been that way. But I love magic (spirituality) and the imagination. These are totally different things. But I get the idea that they might be confused often for manipulation. If people (not only ENFP’s) see the value in the beauty of imagination and if they want to know the levels in there, it is up to them to connect with such levels.

StarlightnDust aw!!!! that's so cute and beautiful ~ what do you like to read & what are you reading now?

@@空内 sorry didn't see your response. I'm currently reading "Mythos" by Stephen Fry. 😀 It's well-researched. All about Greek Mythology.

👍

*[FeelsRestricted]* what makes you feel understood?

Also an INTP and my ex girlfriend is an ENTP. I really enjoyed being with her at the time, but she realized we were not a good fit. I think that I made her feel stupid when we would debate because her arguments would consist of appeals to authority and I wasnt convinced unless she could cite hard data. Or if I questioned the methodology or credibility of her sources, she would run out of steam. My only experience with this type is that they want to convince you that their way is the right way, but they use emotional arguments or guilt or shame tactics. It did seem like reputation was really important to her as well. She put a lot of pressure on me to "perform" in front of her family and openly told me several times that she was worried her family wouldn't like me.

Collin C I wasn’t talking about an Entp but an Enfp(my cousin actually), in any case my father is an Entp and what you wrote about your relationship with the Entp in your life sounds very familiar. Tons of arguments from authority and emotional guilt-tripping. Not a lot of concern for finding the truth, but confirming their “truth”. Anyways I hope you’ve found a better girlfriend.

@@therealcoolc No No No......... *facepalms* that is the most un- ENTP thing I have ever heard. You're describing an FP. You literally described loads of Te,Fi and low Ti. Sounds like Fe critic so EFP

@@Entyipo Actually I think he means to write ENFP.

John Otterstedt Yes

ENFP is consider to be Champions. That is the hero / villain he is talking about.🤣🤫 we know it ok to have bumps in the road.

Yes, the ENFP is the campaigner he is mixing them up and causing confusion. I stopped watching on account of his lack of expertise. But hey, he's doing more than i am right now. I just can't trust it because of this disconnect. But that's just me...

@@leanngoeken7144 He likely got mixed up because INFJ is the ENFP unconscious. What a shitty way to discredit someone. Go look in the mirror man.

Different sites just call it different things..nothings set it stone, except for the cognitive functions ofc

Me too!

Russel Brand is an ENTP that knows how to market himself to the NFs. See his pank call of an old man (Andrew Sachs who played Manuel in Fawlty Towers) to tease him about his grand-daugher being a stripper. Fi Allergic like Jonathan Ross.

You are building perception

@whit3ric3 I agree with you, thank you so much for connecting with other ENFPs, we need it so much. I guess in a hard world like this, we ENFPs have got to stick together 💞

This is so true to me

@@gianinnaelainelabicane4741 Elaborate??

Se demon triggers Se critic

Intp just won’t say anything

@@raedjamal5779 you describing ENFP with INTP, while the comment above critiquing ESFJ in favor of INTP.

You are missing SOME information. I'm an ENFP also, and what he doesn't fully explain in this particular video is that ENFPs do have a slow processing speed.

...and ENFPs being "the ultimate novelists" makes them super open to new things, yet they can also be afraid of actually having new experiences in real life.

It's a very nuanced thing.

Then you're not an enfp...

I’m an ENFP too and same same same! Don’t think this video is a very accurate portrayal at all

awesome comment. You bring up a good point. I will make sure to put it forth in the future.

Yes exactly

Damn, he wasn't wrong with the branding thing. Just look at your profile.

i only have one 'I was born to sparkle' T-shirt + only 1 unicorn shirt! ... but i'm shopping for another; and glitter is everywhere here....... yeah: fluffy-bunny ENFP here. but i HAVE been a badass...........

@@CSJoseph Hey ENFP here, Can you talk about how to get out of my family's guilt tripping? Every idea or career path that I see forward they shoot it down. Saying your no good at that, what good are you . And every time I think of leaving to go live out my dreams or ideas. They guilt trip me about how I am abandoning the family and being a bad son. I honestly feel trapped, like nothing I can ever do will fix the situation.

@@CSJoseph I should add that this is do to my predominantly STJ family

This guy is wrong about anything having to do with Fi. He's just right enough about part of it to actually mess everyone's perceptions up. And he thinks I'm all about perception? Dude. Status? He thinks we care about status? We ACTUALLY care about the truth... much more than this guy.

👏👏👏👏

THIS

As a fellow ENFP, thank you for leaving this comment, it's very informative. The presenter seems like he's being subjective, given his bad past experiences. It's saddening to see...

Much appreciated

awesome

We do rally for a cause we believe in…. It’s just who we r!!!

everyone does, but then again everyone does with everyone

Much appreciated

Enfp is good at campaigns, coz thats their role in d world, everyone has a shadow function, depending on the environment, it doesn't have to be triggered though, we call it buttons, everyone has. This ENTP guy is just explaining the worst and best tendencies, it's up to the individual how he can handle himself. So kudos to C.S. for being truthful about this.

Jobelly Welly or how much you’re not willing to accept the truth?

Or how well she knows herself versus some random person on the internet.

Christiana Lester this guy is an expert who has dedicated years and years on the subject, sure he is a random guy but he definitely knows more about certain types than this other “random person” she has either got her type wrong (much more likely option) or she is in complete denial of her weaknesses, which in other words makes her extremely narcissistic and ignorant

@@christianalester8752 is this a pathetic crutch you hold on yourself?

You’re butthurt because its true

The dude hearted your response lol

@@Backhand77 yeah, not really sure about this guy's intentions.

@@jon4661 you're right.

I choose to look at it like this though: if he wants to deliberately focus on a person's worst qualities, to make an entire demographic the bad guys, that is just going to have to be his problem. If, with his intelligence he decides that he is going to focus only on a group's worst case scenario traits, he is not likely going to appreciate the good when he sees it. I know who I am, he does not.

@@jon4661 uh? You should be taking this video as a way to focus on these weaknesses and improve on them. That's the whole point of it

Maybe your an infp

Yes!

I don't know about you but since childhood, I've been on a quest for Truth and freedom from societal pressures and lies that keep us imprisoned. I know in my teens and possibly even in my 20's I looked at approval, acceptance, and admiration from others but come 30, it was like a light switch went off. The ultimate freedom is to not care about other people's opinion about you. Do the right thing but don't care if anyone sees it or admires it or labels you as good. Be good & Do good for the sake of making yourself proud, no one else.

We r super loving and we do not mean to manipulate But we subconsciously do and it’s out of goodness

@@BreezeofBlissinteresting. I wonder if you also developed into the infj Quadra as one can at that age according to csj

This man gets it.

Is that the imperial we?

​@@CSJoseph Yeah... I am sorry for that. That was initial shock for criticism I guess. It was before realising that I really do not mind to be in charity or depravity mode as other thing are important to me and I am looking for some guides in your videos. Thank you for your reply, I am honoured, I am big fan of your work.

Half the video about manipulation 😂 bro decided to vent against enfps

​​@@xMarikiyep I forgot I was either tired or bored I will update it Also it's surprising I now noticed this comment till now 🤦

If ENFPs feel rejected and not accepted as part of another group then that's when we become depraved, b/c what does it matter if other people don't want us?

Hmm, I do agree with him on this actually, I do very much believe that truth is unobtainable, and that we are just grasping at straws of things that we can never comprehend. However, despite that I can't escape that 2 + 2 = 4, there is truth in this realm of existence, albeit not the truth I search for.

Exactly I don't wanna a miss of info so I don't really make good judgments about it affect the world until a random moment occurs that gets me thinking bout ut

Joseph Smith yeah the guy making this video is a complete tool and has no idea what he is talking about

Well, you either are entirely insincere or you have no clue what the truth is. Since you did not even provide a single logical argument. (INTP here)

Best comment

This is the best take from the video.

True.

Jeremy Christmas I respectfully disagree. Perhaps you have Se mixed up with Ne? Ne is not about giving other people new experiences, that is Se. However, after having an experience or taste of something for oneself, an Ne user would share it with others be cultivating their desires to do it. It’s all about what do you want? Vs. the Se approach: “Hey you should do this.” I recommend looking at my ENFJ vid, for comparison purposes.

C.S. Joseph No confusion. Perhaps a better way to put it is we try to enlighten people. No, we don't try to control people because we want them to do want we want like the ESFP does... we try to encourage and wake them up to the possibilities they're not seeing because we hate to see them in a rut or blind to what we were once blind to. I have an INTP son and as you accurately describe, he'll aviod unknown territory because it's safe. I did some of that early on due to not trusting the adults around me... but once I got out on my own and tried some stuff I found that I'd been missing out and have therefore embraced new experiences and wanted to help bring others out of their shell too. I've read this is common for us so I don't see what you mean that we're afraid of new experiences. Finding new ways to do things is what we're all about.

Jeremy Christmas Typically ENFPs can be agents of change for others not so much for themselves. Their insecurity in doing new things comes from their need to be comfortable. If doing something they haven’t done before causes them to be uncomfortable, then they become insecure. I recommend you watch the ENFJ vid for a nice comparison because they are closer to what you are describing.

C.S. Joseph I will but my mom is an ENFJ so I am familiar. They probably don't quite know who they are because they're so in tune with YOU and their Ni can see your future so clearly that they know just what you need to do at all times... and they'll manipulate or sabotage you (whatever it takes) to see to it that you follow that path for your own good. They mean well, but it's control and that's different from we ENFP's. We don't think we know the "right way" or if there even is truly such a thing... we hope not... and we don't like to control or be controlled. ENFJ's sort of seem to want to protect people... but we want to free them. We love exploring all options and are very open to different ways of doing things... they are not. I find ENFJ's funny and we can usually laugh together but they will sometimes just up and get offended by something I say that isn't meant to be offensive and isn't taken to be by other types. It always comes as a surprise to me and they usually seem to feel that I'm calling them stupid when I'm pointing out something that's interesting or funny like I've been doing our whole visit. Yes, it's usually something about them... but 85% of the time it's okay to laugh at them and be light hearted... but all of sudden they'll just get insecure (inferior Ti) and I'll have to smooth their feathers for them. We ENFP's do like to be comfortable, I'll give you that... but I would suggest that Ne dominant eventually demands change over comfort as stagnation is more uncomfortable than anything else. This is why we are great entrepreneurs and terrible employees... we have to have change and we have to innovate.

Jeremy Christmas your description of ENFJs sounds more ISFJs. Also, Ni cannot see into others futures, just their own. Ne is what is used to see into others futures. I recommend you review the INFJs type video as well. Thanks.

NO PANDERING ALLOWED

hehehe I'm an INFP and found chase in a small NT server, I was the only one who gave him benefit of the doubt and after a year still follow all his videos 😌

I really appreciate this comment. It will do none of us any good to have fairy dust blown up our ass. I have an istj husband and an estj daughter and they are a joy. Thank God the world has them. We would not want our society in the hands of ENFPs by and large.

And two of my ISTP friends taught me a lotttt about how to be responsible and not taking advantage of others even it's not a big deal.

We all manipulate! Even CSJ said "socially manipulation is normal folks!" It's just ENFP are the only types who are evil about it. 😂

Kozy mm we all as types fall in middles & extremes with great power comes great responsibility

you are most welcome

I think you may have had a bad experience with an ENFP. There is bad in all personality types. Absolute truths do not exist, except for good coffee.... good coffee exists.

Oops this was meant for Sarah Spade . And that's the truth ☺

Thank you for this super mature comment

@@ImmortalGaming551 Yeah ENFP's have amazing (long term) memories unless faced with trauma.

enfps have really great memories in my experience.They have Si inferior.If your enfp is having issues with memory that badly then its probably cuz they are not getting challenged enough to develop their inferior function which is necessary to be at peace with yourself and explore other sides of you.Or else they might just be mistyped or underestimating themselves .

we are horrible at recalling short term obligations related issues. but our long term memories are very strong. i can recall my childhood like it was just yesterday (i'm 32 by the way) but can't for the love of gawd remember to what i wanted to do this afternoon even though i have been meaning to do it since the last two weeks! and worse, it needed to be done because without it, i'll get in trouble! but noooo.... i'd still forget. but! i'd remember that song i haven't listen to in 10 years, no problem.

Hey, I remember really liking to read when I was a child and going through books quickly, but now in my adulthood I don’t read anymore. I think I stopped finding novelty in fiction and for anything intellectual, there’s always a really good podcast or video somewhere. Also later I discovered that I was chronically ill and my brain is spotted like a newborn Dalmatian, which is were the lack of attention for reading might come from. I am also extremely forgetful so even if I read something, I am likely to forget it. New information last in my head about 3 days before I have to refresh them. And I also don’t know how much of it is the illness and how much it’s just me. But I think even if you’re hundred percent healthy, you can still be forgetful. That could do with your childhood (weather you were encouraged to read, or like me, constantly being told to “snap back into the real world and socialise”. Weather you were praised for explaining your parents what you’ve read, or ridiculed for reading the wrong things), or with your attitude towards being stupid. For example I know that it’s not going to get better now (not because of the illness, I just reached a conclusion that reading won’t make me permanently smart. Only smart for about 3 days), so I just came to term with being stupid. Everyone has their place in society, there are smart people, and there are stupid people and it there weren’t stupid people smart people would never know they are smart. Hopefully my strength lies somewhere else. Maybe in making sales deals like Chase said :) .

@@ImmortalGaming551 pretty sure he actually meant short term memory. I often forget what I ate for my breakfast the other day but have a quite vivid memory of some childhood moments.

As an ENFP, I will point out something if i think it's incorrect but just to state a different perception not meant to be rude or inconsiderate.

@@davecross4493 why not?

maja vidova touché lol

You seem to not quite understand how this psychology actually works then

this

Totally agree. This guy seems to have a very commercial, American, corporate interpretation, and been burned in that. I have seen many more effective readings. Like many on here, an English teacher of over 20 years , that's an interesting thread in itself. Also burned out by workload and out.

I do not deny the bias and the extreme language. I made the virtue and vice lecture for ENFPs and hoped it would be more balanced.

andreae3 I mean the extreme language is still factual and the point of the video is to tell you what enfps are all about and not to make you feel better. He does the same with other types

Some of the stuff he said I don't think many ENFPs would recognise. That stuff about being good at law and 'reading the fine print' is weird. We are notoriously bad with detail.

Also all that stuff about 'sales' - no. Just no.

@Gigi P: I'm an ENFP - i admit I am enthusiastic about things and can make anything sound good if I truly believe in it. BUT (and this is big but), the profession of sales does not feel genuine to most ENFPs. We are all about authenticity. Our Fi HATES it if we're not being genuine / true to ourselves. So, OK, there are some ENFPs who have been lucky enough to find something they truly believe in (with their own businesses that sell ideas of whatever) and they can passionately sell that. But I would argue that a VERY SMALL pecentage of ENFPs fall into that bracket. Selling for something we don't believe in (which is the majority of things, especially to ENFPs, let's be honest) would overwhelm us with anxiety. I speak from experience.

Wut Suthirachartkul I came to these findings as A result of combining the cognitive functions and expressing the data flow between each function with in the four sides of the mind of an ENFP. My type profiles do not come from other sources. However I do use Linda Berens to explain the interaction styles and Plato to explain the temperaments. As far as people being different yes some people are mature versus immature or more developed than others. Also people who take the test and up getting the wrong results which just leads to confusion and then no one in general is able to know how a type would typically behave.

I think it could be his high focus on "sales" in this video. If you replace that with "convincing" --which is basically what sales is-- you have an ENFP who could convince you of anything. This is something I really recognise (and love, and love to hate) about ENFPs. For instance, I know a lot of ENFPs who have moral problems with sales, marketing, consumerism, capitalism etc and therefore dislike sales but they can be very convincing / advocating for a cause they do feel morally aligned with. I also know a lot of ENFPs who don't have a moral problem with sales or certain aspects of capitalist society and they seem to be more inclined with this view of marketing and branding. It's the same concept of convincing others but sometimes it expresses itself differently.

Joy Bomer true that

Tai says he tested ENTP

Joy B SUPER-TRUE!!! You really said it: my problem with Corporations/consumerism/sales&marketing : i find the current state of affairs re this stuff to be pretty abhorent. thanx

It seems like a love/hate relationship. He hates em cuz he has a lot of experience w em. But the mass of experience indicates an attraction to them that led to the culminated experiences, I think.

yup

As an ENTP I have the same it's a love/hate relationship. Really weird dynamic between ENTPs and ENFPs

Well well said

My style is such that it sticks with you long after. I cannot comfort you into wisdom. You must suffer for it like I have.

@@CSJoseph hahahaha sure if that's what you feel is right :) We don't have to agree on everything anyway. 😀

@@CSJoseph Wow. You really think highly of yourself! Perhaps a bit too much. Feel free to climb down from your high horse at some point and check out the view from us lowly, evil, manipulative ENFPs. Jfc lol!

No truer words spoken...😂

I wont deny bias.. ever. But at the same time, most people who criticize me for knowing unhealthy ENFPs instead of healthy ones are usually not ENFPs themselves due to mistypes and poor test taking. Is it possible that this happened to you? How would you describe a healthy ENFP?

Honestly I found everything to be true. But perhaps I’m used to being self-critical and self developing so I genuinely like hearing my bad side. He’s right- critical Fe whips me into shape so fast. And drives me. It’s almost like Fi wants Fe really but forgets on the rare occasion. I’ve also only now understood why I’m in the one who is usually obsessed with fine print and building contracts in business. I seem to care about that way more than most. This explanation goes beyond stereotypes and into the functions. So I see it. Also the majority of this was very positive in my eyes?!? World changers for a better future? Persuasive? Logical? Speed readers? Cares about others but needs self-care in order to do so? Profound grasp on “truth”? It’s good to be an ENFP :)
