ENFP type people are kind, sympathetic, focused on harmony and relationships with others. Therefore, they are often called Communicators. Easy to communicate, not inclined to complain about life and fall into depression. Communicators are always open, like to talk about people and share plans. They are happy to discuss their own bold ideas and fantasies. ENFPs are inspired by the fact that they can achieve so much in life by interacting with others and following their creative intuition.

Energy, strong charisma and emotionality make them attractive to others. People with this personality type approach life creatively. Communicators explore life and prefer to talk more about joy and happiness than about harsh facts, everyday life and realities.

With them, even the routine will seem like an amazing adventure.

According to the statistics of people with ENFP type in the world:

8% of the total population
10% women
6% men

Communicators show themselves as innovators and versatile personalities, aimed at self-expression and realization of their own potential. And at the same time, having excellent intuition, they are able to see their best qualities in people and always strive to help them open up.

People with this personality type often have artistic inclinations and interesting looks. They are passionate, energetic, witty and flexible. They strive to feel life as much as possible, living it richly and fully. However, Communicators often lack contact with reality and firm ground under their feet. Carried away by ideas, they can flirt and move away from solving pressing problems.

Communicators do not tolerate routine and are always looking for new unusual ways to solve problems. They have a hard time when there is no opportunity to apply their creative energy. ENFPs value individuality in others and strive to stand out and be the center of attention themselves. The desire to be admired by others is an integral part of their personality and causes addiction. Communicators experience delight and emotional charge when people genuinely admire them. It will be useful for them to rely more on themselves and not look for constant encouragement from outside.

Personal freedom and self-expression are of great importance to ENFPs, allowing them to follow their dreams and bold ideas. Communicators feel absolutely happy when they are endowed with the freedom to independently organize their activities, select interesting people to work with and choose directions that resonate with their life values, delegating the routine.

Notable personalities of this type include:

Walt Disney
Bill Clinton
Ivan Urgant
Robin Williams
Mark Twain

People with this personality type do not tend to focus on one thing for a long time and this is their scourge. As a rule, at one point in time they can be carried away by many interesting projects. For this reason, others often perceive them as flighty personalities, and Communicators suffer from the fact that they cannot focus and finish a project that was of interest to them a few days ago.

Communicators are attracted to change. Always open to new experiences and ready to try the unknown. The thirst for new things makes it difficult for ENFPs to stay focused on and work long-term on a task. They realize that concentration is not their forte and sometimes suffer from this understanding. If there is a person who is ready to help them gather and focus in one direction, they experience a huge relief. Communicators tend to enjoy the process. But when they bring the work they have started to its logical conclusion, they feel true satisfaction.

Communicators love change and tend to change careers and lines of work several times during their lives. But at the same time, they prefer to choose projects that correspond to their values.

Negative sides of ENFP type

Like any of the 16 personality types, the ENFP type also has negative aspects, the knowledge of which will help to avoid many problems.

you feel bad time;
often take responsibility for others;
you are impatient;
you are too trusting;
It is difficult to bear the routine and boredom.

You are used to seeing only the best in people, so sometimes your gullibility plays a cruel joke on you. Giving all of yourself to people, it happens that you overload yourself with emotional contacts, take responsibility for their mood. You yourself can become dependent on people. To avoid this, you must always find support in yourself.

Deadlines are not for you. Sometimes you are dependent on your mood, you get down to business only when inspiration comes, you wait for insight, your curiosity makes you grab onto new things, pushing previous undertakings into the background.

You are used to living in the moment and therefore it is difficult to endure monotonous work. At the level of an idea, you can catch fire with some business, but you easily quit, switch to something else. To avoid this, you need to develop purposefulness and willpower in yourself.

On the other hand, you yourself have a resource to cope with the routine. Your creative streak, creative thinking is what can turn even the most boring job into a real adventure. Moreover, you can infect your other colleagues with this, filling their lives with vivid emotions.

But you can quit what you really don't want to do. You are not one of those who spend years in a job they hate.

However, the desire for freedom sometimes turns into incontinence in feelings and thoughts. It may give the impression that you are "burning life", frivolous and fickle. As in the fable about the ant and the dragonfly. But you will be like that only in the eyes of an ant.

How to know yourself if you are an ENFP type

The above features should not be taken as shortcomings or problems. This is your zone of proximal development.

In childhood, people of this type often have problems at school. Impulsiveness, neglect of details, an unexpected look at familiar things, rejection of subordination and discipline imposed from outside, monotonous work - all this does not fit well with the school system. Such children always ask "uncomfortable" questions.

But it is from such little rebels that personalities grow - the engines of progress. Free in action and self-expression, courageous, not afraid to leave the comfort zone, inquisitive. They are not looking for security and stability. On the contrary, in a situation of emotional stress, they show their abilities best of all.

Possessing charisma, people of this type often become emotional leaders who are able to rally interesting personalities around them. The main thing is not to lose yourself in a whirlpool of feelings, events and people.
