ENFP: The Campaigner Personality

ENFP, short for Extraverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Perceiving, is one of the 16 personality types defined by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI).

Theoretical Sources: Inspired by Carl Jung's psychological types, Isabel Myers and her mother Catherine Briggs developed the MBTI questionnaire. ENFP is characterized by being sensitive, independent, and having great insight and charisma.

Definition: In MBTI testing, ENFP individuals are extroverted, intuitive, feeling, and perceiving. They are passionate about goals, good at understanding others, and have strong leadership skills.

Distribution Statistics: ENFPs make up about 7% of the population. Compared to them, ENTPs account for 3%, while types like ISTJ and ISFJ are more common.

Personality Traits: ENFPs are sensitive to possibilities, passionate, innovative but struggle with finishing tasks. They hate routine and value inspiration.

Application Areas: In career planning, they are suitable for creative, marketing, educational, health care, and entrepreneurial roles. In family relationships, as spouses, they are温柔 and understanding but can surprise their partners. As parents, they are creative but lack patience with crying children.

Representative Figures: Figures like Li Bai, Oscar Wilde, and Robert Downey Jr. are ENFPs.

Controversy: While MBTI is widely used, it is controversial as some scholars question the simplicity of categorizing personalities into 16 types.
