This test will measure your MBTI Personality type. This is one of the most popular personality tests that are out
there. Each personality type is equal, there is no one that is better than others. One important thing to note is
that the only right personality is
In 1943 Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers created the famous Myers Briggs Type
Indicator (MBTI) personality test. Inspired by renowned Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, they devised a
questionnaire that would help identify a person’s psychological type. The questionnaire gives you four letters
that make up your personality.
Learning your MBTI profile is very helpful in understanding yourself, how you deal with others, ideal careers,
and your strengths and weaknesses. Some organizations go as far as using the MBTI to assess compatibility
with a spouse! The MBTI sorts people into 16 different personality types broken down by two pairs of cognitive
functions.
1. The “Rational” (Judging) Functions: Thinking and Feeling
2. The “Irrational” (Perceiving) Functions: Sensation and Intuition
The cognitive functions are then broken down into 16 different personality types based on how the functions
are paired with each other.
 The Orientation of Your Focus and How You Are Energized: Extraversion (E) or Introversion (I)
 The Way You Take in Information and What You Pay Attention to: Sensing (S) or Intuition (N)
 How You Make Decisions and Form Judgments: Thinking (T) or Feeling (F)
 How You Deal With the World and the Lifestyle You Prefer: Judging (J) or Perceiving (P)
Here are some important points on how to best complete this test:
 There is no right answer to any of the questions
 Answer the questions quickly, don’t overanalyze and go with what feels the best
 Be honest with yourself and answer the way you truly are, not what you think others see you as
 Complete the test before looking at the scoring chart
 Remember that no test is fully comprehensive and your personality can change over time. Feel free to
take it periodically! The important thing to gleam from the test is to understand and appreciate the
differences in people.
Have fun and let’s move forward to

As an ENFJ, you're primary mode of living is focused externally, where you deal with things according to how
you feel about them, or how they fit into your personal value system. Your secondary mode is internal, where
you take things in primarily via your intuition.
ENFJs are people-focused individuals. They live in the world of people possibilities. More so than any other
type, they have excellent people skills. They understand and care about people, and have a special talent for
bringing out the best in others. ENFJ's main interest in life is giving love, support, and a good time to other
people. They are focused on understanding, supporting, and encouraging others. They make things happen for
people, and get their best personal satisfaction from this.
Because ENFJ's people skills are so extraordinary, they have the ability to make people do exactly what
they want them to do. They get under people's skins and get the reactions that they are seeking. ENFJ's
motives are usually unselfish, but ENFJs who have developed less than ideally have been known to use
their power over people to manipulate them.
ENFJ's are so externally focused that it's especially important for them to spend time alone. This can be
difficult for some ENFJs, because they have the tendency to be hard on themselves and turn to dark thoughts
when alone. Consequently, ENFJs might avoid being alone, and fill their lives with activities involving other
people. ENFJs tend to define their life's direction and priorities according to other people's needs, and may
not be aware of their own needs. It's natural to their personality type that they will tend to place other people's
needs above their own, but they need to stay aware of their own needs so that they don't sacrifice themselves
in their drive to help others.
ENFJ's tend to be more reserved about exposing themselves than other extraverted types. Although they may
have strongly-felt beliefs, they're likely to refrain from expressing them if doing so would interfere with bringing
out the best in others. Because their strongest interest lies in being a catalyst of change in other people,
they're likely to interact with others on their own level, in a chameleon-like manner, rather than as individuals.
ENFJs have definite values and opinions which they're able to express clearly and succinctly. These beliefs
will be expressed as long as they're not too personal. ENFJ is in many ways expressive and open, but is more
focused on being responsive and supportive of others. When faced with a conflict between a strongly-held
value and serving another person's need, they are highly likely to value the other person's needs.
The ENFJ may feel quite lonely even when surrounded by people. This feeling of aloneness may be
exacerbated by the tendency to not reveal their true selves.
People love ENFJs. They are fun to be with, and truly understand and love people. They are typically very
straight-forward and honest. Usually ENFJs exude a lot of self-confidence, and have a great amount of
ability to do many different things. They are generally bright, full of potential, energetic and fast-paced. They
are usually good at anything which captures their interest.
ENFJs like for things to be well-organized, and will work hard at maintaining structure and resolving ambiguity.
They have a tendency to be fussy, especially with their home environments.

In the work place, ENFJs do well in positions where they deal with people. They are naturals for the social
committee. Their uncanny ability to understand people and say just what needs to be said to make them happy
makes them naturals for counseling. They enjoy being the center of attention, and do very well in situations
where they can inspire and lead others, such as teaching.
ENFJs do not like dealing with impersonal reasoning. They don't understand or appreciate its merit, and will be
unhappy in situations where they're forced to deal with logic and facts without any connection to a human
element. Living in the world of people possibilities, they enjoy their plans more than their achievements. They
get excited about possibilities for the future, but may become easily bored and restless with the present.
ENFJs have a special gift with people, and are basically happy people when they can use that gift to help
others. They get their best satisfaction from serving others. Their genuine interest in Humankind and their
exceptional intuitive awareness of people makes them able to draw out even the most reserved individuals.
ENFJs have a strong need for close, intimate relationships, and will put forth a lot of effort in creating and
maintaining these relationships. They're very loyal and trustworthy once involved in a relationship.
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 controlling 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.
Jungian functional preference ordering:
 Dominant: Extraverted Feeling  Tertiary: Extraverted Sensing
 Auxiliary: Introverted Intuition  Inferior: Introverted Thinking
ENFJs generally have the following traits:
 Genuinely and warmly interested in people
 Value people's feelings
 Value structure and organization
 Value harmony, and good at creating it
 Exceptionally good people skills
 Dislike impersonal logic and analysis
 Strong organizational capabilities
 Loyal and honest
 Creative and imaginative
 Enjoy variety and new challenges
 Get personal satisfaction from helping others
 Extremely sensitive to criticism and discord
 Need approval from others to feel good
about themselves
ENFJ Relationships
ENFJs put a lot of effort and enthusiasm into their relationships. To some extent, the ENFJ defines themselves by
the closeness and authenticity of their personal relationships, and are therefore highly invested in the business of
relationships. They have very good people skills, and are affectionate and considerate. They are warmly affirming
and nurturing. They excel at bringing out the best in others, and warmly supporting them. They want responding
affirmation from their relationships, although they have a problem asking for it. When a situation calls for it, the
ENFJ will become very sharp and critical. After having made their point, they will return
