-ENFJs are organized in the arena of interpersonal affairs.Conclusions (reached through feelings) about people and motives are drawn much more quickly than those of NFP.

An ENFJ who has not developed their Feeling side may have difficulty making good decisions, and may rely heavily on other people in decision-making processes. If they have not developed their Intuition, they may not be able to see possibilities, and will judge things too quickly based on established value systems or social rules, without really understanding the current situation. An ENFJ who has not found their place in the world is likely to be extremely sensitive to criticism, and to have the tendency to worry excessively and feel guilty. They are also likely to be very manipulative and controling with others.
-In general, ENFJs are charming, warm, gracious, creative and diverse individuals with richly developed insights into what makes other people tick.
-This special ability to see growth potential in others combined with a genuine drive to help people makes the ENFJ a truly valued individual.
-As giving and caring as the ENFJ is, they need to remember to value their own needs as well as the needs of others.

I just took this and I am an ISTJ... but... I used to be an INFP... about 10 years ago... but I was only 1% on the T, so I am pretty much 50/50 T and F.
