ENFJ tick? The Dominant function is the judging one of Feeling.
Characteristics associated with this function include: Makes
decisions on the basis of personal values Is appreciative and
accepting of people - enjoying company and seeking harmony Assesses
the impact of decisions on others, being sympathetic or
compassionate Takes a personal approach The judging Feeling
function is extraverted. That is, Feeling is used primarily to
govern the outer world of actions and spoken words. The ENFJ will
therefore: seek stable, harmonious relationships tend to adapt to
the environment, taking on board those values that are held as
important by friends and family, or society as a whole express the
appreciation that is felt towards others tend to consider others'
feelings before his/her own be sensitive to praise and criticism,
and seek to conform to others' reasonable expectations The Feeling
function is primarily supported by introverted iNtuitive
perception, That is, iNtuitive perception is used primarily to
manage the inner world of thoughts and emotions. This will modify
the way that the Feeling is directed, by: focusing the (outer
world) Feeling on ideas and possibilities for people looking for
meaningful relationships aiming to understand people, gaining
insight into their personality and motivation The classic
temperament of an ENFJ is Apollonian, or Choleric, for whom a basic
driving force is the search for meaning or purpose. Contributions
to the team of an ENFJ In a team environment, the ENFJ can
contribute by: promoting insight and common understanding amongst
the team facilitating discussions, encouraging contributions from
all team members by asking questions in a structured way seeking to
arrive at consensus decisions generating team spirit though the
ENFJ's own energy and enthusiasm focusing on areas of agreement and
building on others' proposals bringing discussions to positive
conclusions The potential ways in which an ENFJ can irritate others
include: talking too much assuming they know the needs of others -
in trying to help them develop insight, the ENFJ can appear bossy
avoiding conflict and not giving criticism when it is needed taking
criticism personally focusing so much on interpersonal issues that
cost and other impersonal considerations are not adequately
addressed. Personal Growth As with all types, the ENFJ can achieve
personal growth by developing all functions that are not fully
developed, through actions such as: learning to observe and accept
the negative aspects of those people they admire finding an
independent and objective means of verifying their insights about
people pausing and thinking, encouraging others to articulate their
own needs, and using active listening to verify understanding
undertaking a critical appraisal of a situation or person, and
expressing disagreement or criticism when it could be of value to
the recipient focusing on impersonal details when making decisions
listing options and undertaking a formal process of evaluation
against criteria, including a cost benefit analysis establishing a
long term goal, working towards it, but being prepared to modify it
in the light of experience and developing circumstances letting
others develop at their own pace Recognising Stress As stress
increases, 'learned behaviour' tends to give way to the natural
style, so the ENFJ will behave more according to type when under
greater stress. For example, in a crisis, the ENFJ might: get
everyone organised express appreciation for their efforts
contribute creative ideas, but overlook current realities fail to
consider the cost implications ENFJ’s careers Teacher, Assistant,
