My new book, THE ENFP CALLING, is out now in Audiobook (I narrated), Print, and Digital. It's on Amazon (amzn.to/3Hn75Wv ), Audible ( www.audible.com/pd/The-ENFP-Calling-Audiobook/B0D79QMDCR? ), and most everywhere else you can get books ( books2read.com/enfp ).
And before you think "Oh god, another RUclipsr / Coach wrote some sh*tty book summarizing their videos...Scout's honor...this book is the furthest thing from regurgitation. It's 270 pages (or 8 hours on audiobook) of new ideas, stories, and insights. Check out the reviews on Amazon ( amzn.to/3Hn75Wv ).
True. Or simply make them feel better. I work in a gaming arcade, and people are often stressed out from losing a lot of money. The saddest thing is when they win, but they're still not happy because they lost so much more. I can't change that, but I'd be like "Hey, that's 700€ LESS loss!" or something like that. Or I get out the special chocolates. Or whatever it takes, I mean, some people just want to be left alone, of course. Anyway, I hear quite often that they appreciate my efforts to make them feel better again just by being positive and often quite ridiculous as well. (Like when I told someone that maybe he doesn't win, because the universe only gives you what you need, not what you wish for, and obviously, he got everything he needs already, material-wise.)
As an ENFP, I suffer mostly from indecision and sometimes am paralysed from doing routine stuff. I don't know what I have to do to get out of these situations. My main problem is discipline. I'm not organised.
StarlightnDust I have the same problems. Getting ready in the morning or doing chores seems to take all day. I find if I take a class in what ENFPs are good at once a week I do fine. I totally fit in teaching writing fairy tales to at-risk people. And I got paid! Good luck.
ENFP-personalities are like chameleons: we adapt to what feels needed in each situation again; we love harmony. Therefore we can switch from more extravert (enthusiasm) to introvert (observing), from using our senses to using our intuition. It depends on the situation which of the 8 qualities fits best for that time /place/person.
@@shapelessheart6647To make you feel better: In evolution it isn't the strongest that survives. It's the ones that can adapt to ever changing conditions and circumstances.
This is so accurate it's scary. Jack of all, master of most. Reading people's minds and picking up energies. Stupid fast learner/mentor. Totally unorganized and all over the place. Wow
the bad side of reading others well is when it doesnt happen the other way and, as an enfp, you feel hurt or even offended, like you said, we tend to think it's obvious
It’s also kinda bad when you know the other one is reading you too and you’re not the only one who knows how the other person feels about you like „If I know that she likes me she knows that I like her too omfg stop“
Yes! I'm really involved in some communities online and see a lot of conflicts. I can always immediately determine what both sides wants and what the conflict is, but others never seem to be able to see it. So frustrating. But it also really helps me when I get into arguments. I've always been able to find a middleground for both of us because I always know what the other person actually wants (So many are just talking their way around their actual issues lol).
As an ENFP, the first super power is so amazing. I'm forty yet in the last four years I have been a professional photographer, a published author of books on Astronomy, an entrepreneur, a teacher and a full time dad at home. All that while raising a family and having a supportive wife.
Yessss you are an inspiration!!! I work full time as a single mom and i have two side projects in education. It gets hard at times but it is so fulfilling
The second superpower is so accurate! As an ENFP i realized that i seem to have the power of attracting people to talk to me about everything. Friends or even strangers, they all seem to be very eager and attracted to talk to me and tell me secrets and stories and everything.. and i seem to be able to listen and take their perspective into account very accurately. I didnt know i could do that because i was an ENFP haha
Sometime I didn’t even look into their eyes, but they just started to talk about their life stories to me and I was like...(Are you talking to me?) oh, great. What’s next?
Rhonda J Hang In there, Rhonda. Life gets better when you accept the way you have been built. I used to hate myself because I got pushed around a lot. I was an emotional Ferris wheel. But as I understood my personality, I learned to steer clear of areas that didn’t bring out the best in me. I wish the very best for you as you follow the path to who you are. Be blessed. - Mark
i'm an enfp, yes i listened to the whole video, but my hands already starting to do something else meanwhile my ears listening to this video and i need to restart again cuzz im starting to forget but i need to catch on something else but i want to understand this but its ok. hahaha
Reading a room - dead on! My husband (my exact opposite - ISTJ) is fascinated by how I can sense mood shifts. I can tell when something is weighing on his (or anybody's) mind as soon as it happens. I'll just say to him, "what's up?" or "what's on your mind?" And he's like, "how do you DO that? How do you just KNOW?" He calls me a witch. I just smile and laugh and wait for him to tell me what's on his mind. Because my sense is never wrong lol.
Sierrajuliet99 I’m exactly like that but whenever I ask the person I can also sense that they’re lying about it like “no it’s nothing” or “I’m fine” and they end up not telling mr
I am shocked you married an ISTJ, I am dating one right now and it's hard. But for some reason I really like him...wow I just came full circle haha so I guess I can see how you married him.
As an ENFP I have friends coming to me for advice on stuff I’ve never had to deal with, but they always notice that I stick to my morals and beliefs, and I won’t bend for anyone or anything, which I find as an amazing power ✨
Oh my gosh, I’m an ENFP and I can relate!! I HATE consistency! I’ll start working on something, but then get caught up by another idea and start that instead! It takes me serious dedication to invest all of my time into something for a while, since I usually switch from idea to idea.
There's literally only one thing I did since I was 5: Playing the violin - I switched to the viola when I got the chance (they needed a viola player & my curiosity took over). It happens that I decide to learn Morse code one day, then Braille the next, then I hear Italian & begin to learn that, after another week I decide to play the guitar... Who knows what will come next? Parcours? Kickboxing? Cliffjumping? You never know xD To summarize: I 100% agree
That ENFP “power” of sensing moods and vibes, I always have sensed them. I could tell what the mood was by the atmosphere. I still need time to build upon this skill (sometimes I pick up a false vibe by tricking myself) but I can usually sense mood changes, just not realizing it. I’ll try to be more perceptive on this. There is one other “power” I noticed and I’m not sure if this is common among ENFPs or it’s just an ability of mine, but I am able to draw people out of their shells and open up to me. Lots of my friends are introverted and my brother and I (we’re both ENFP) can easily befriend them and make them relaxed despite their unwillingness to open up.
@@zain4019 Being able to read others and deliver results to then. Not sure why you would "hate" anyone. Have an open mind to things you don't know or understand.
Carla Putnam I rather live in a world based on love and compassion rather than pain and fear, thank-you. There’s no changing that for me, ever. I have values, and I live by them. “Hate” was too harsh of a word to use. I just dislike displays of power, that’s all.
Just an INFJ stopping by to say that i genuinely agree with all the things said in this video. This is based on all my experiences in meeting and knowing many ENFPs
Totally agree! Every time I start at a new Company, I am always thrown into the deep end without training. Which I figure out the systems and processes very quickly and then within a short period of time, I end up knowing more than most people. I pick up things very quickly. Then yes, I always read rooms and people and most of the time, know how to be a chameleon in that situation to understand and communicate to each person individually. And I always look at both sides of the coin! I didn't know that most people cannot do this. It always baffled me why other people cannot understand both sides of the story. From a fellow ENFP :)
I’m an INFJ getting married to an ENFP and I can confirm that she is very good at the two things mentioned in this video. She is in school to become a teacher and is friends with everyone (this can be exhausting for me as an introvert). One thing she struggles with is: she says yes to help everyone and as a result has very little time to focus on herself. She becomes exhausted and overwhelmed. I am trying to help her learn how to kindly say no in these times, but just wanted to let you all know in case you find yourself struggling with the same thing. Keep your head up, you’re a very kind person and love to help people, but sometimes it helps to have a day to rest. Have a great day.
Omg yes so true 1000% I can feel people’s energy when I walk into a room, and I can read people well. I work in healthcare,but I’m on my way to becoming a standup comedian.
Yay! I love being an ENFP. Sometimes it is frustrating because actually carrying out the tasks that I do fervently started can be reaaaalllllyyyyy boring 😂
Totally. I’m currently struggling hard to keep writing a technical research paper on an incredible survey I created last year about restraint and seclusion in US institutions that got some unbelievably important results. Ugh. I know I need to finish it but it was so much easier/more fun to talk about it at a conference than it is to write this paper.
I am an ENFP and the second Superpower reminded me of a party where two close friends of mine who are in a relationship with each other (INFJ and INTJ) had a rough argument and at first I didn´t want to interfere with them, but I felt that their communication was so passive aggressive and not helpful that I took both of them aside and started acting as a mediator. It really made things better and they found solutions to their problems. They were also really thankful and the INTJ told me, I had such a "calm aura" which helped them. I also want to become a teacher, so after you said the Superpower will be great for that I made a little victory dance. :D Thanks for your videos!
I’m an ENFP I’m too passionate about certain things (lmao I can’t even help it) and also I have interest in a lot of things and I feel like I’d achieve in many different things but I don’t know where the fuck to start idk what I want 😂🤦🏾♀️
Im an Enfp and empathic. So all of this was very bossting for me personally. Being an enfp, i struggled liking me personality wise for a long time. But this has helped so much
Peach Quartz I am curious how many EMFP’s are empaths. I am too, and it makes perfect sense that the personality type seems to overlap with what I perceive as a spiritual connection.
It’s so true - if there was ever an apocalyptic event, the ENFPs would rise to the occasion and be at the forefront to figure out how to save us all. We thrive in chaos and thinking outside the box.
as an enfp, i myself never really felt awkward.. i think i just naturally make situations comfortable for everyone... so even if there was an awkward moment i make it comfortable again without even noticing.
I keep coming up enfp in tests but see myself as an introvert... and yet his descriptions are VERY accurate. I don’t even wanna read rooms or be friendly... but it happens anyway
Are you going through a lot of stress at the moment? Are you depressed? Fi makes ENFPs introverted when they are depressed because they must process their emotions alone. ENFPs are very likely to see themselves as introverts. I am and an ENFP male and the most extroverted person you will ever meet, but even I was introverted in the past, especially when I was depressed. It depends on how emotionally mature you are. It takes time to fully develop your personality
Depressed or seriously stressed ENFP’s become introverted as all get out. We are the most introverted of all the extroverted E types. ENFP’s actually can overstimulate and overwhelm themselves without realizing because they want to keep extroverting all the time and socialize a lot, then we crash into home bodies who never go out or do anything if we let this go on too long. We crash.
Starburst so true! I’m currently in that crash phase. But it’s ok because I need to repair and strengthen my protective layer. Being empathic as well I have absorbed too much negativity from people. The older I get the better I get at recognizing people and situations I need to stay away from. It’s exhausting being able to pick up on everyone’s energy and most people don’t notice yours at all. It’s like our personality type is the truth seer and feeler for the human race.
*Totally* agree with the fact we can sense a shift in the mood as around us. When it happen's, my heart drops a bit, and it's like an internal alarm; reminding me to shift the way I am acting with those people. Edit: *ALSO* the part where we see both sides of a conversation! I couldn't tell you how many times I've diffused my parents or friends arguments after pointing out both of their sides that they haven't understood, and pointing out/softening it so they can see the other perspective. I love this video because I thought these things were normal, but I feel really special because of these powers! :)
Seeing both sides of the conversation can be a blessing and a curse - I love being able to do it and don't understand how others can't (Although I somehow do, cause I also understand THEIR perspective too, but it's still strange). On the other hand I hate reading comments under controversial posts cause I understand how both sides come to their conclusions or (in other cases) they just absolutely miss each other's points... It's the same with family arguments. I feel the argument coming up before it starts and I hate seeing them completely dismiss the underlying problems. It's the worst when you understand both sides in that situation, cause it's impossible to pick a side since both are right in a way, but everyone wants you to do so. It's still a great skill tho & I wouldn't want to trade it in for something else ever
that's so weird. it's been happening around me a lot where I understand what two different sides are saying and why one or both are misunderstanding something. the weird this is I was just noticing that this happens a lot to me but I nearly never see anyone else able to do it. I didn't know it was an enfp thing.
“To understand people emotionally or their message” so freaking true! I asked one of my close friends how i am / act when she tells me she has a problem or she wants to talk to somone about what troubles her. She wrote a whole paragraph about how i listen really well, i validate her feelings, i give her emotional support but also wise she said. Better believe i almost teared up
As an ENFP i find that i can be super disciplined and structure. Is just that it never worked in the corporate environment for the obvious reasons. Once i quite and did what i was supposed to : be a freelancer then starting my own business all these skills which I never though i had came to be so natural. I think ENFPs are like a wildcard they can do absolutely anything because of the super powers you mentioned but they do need to be in the right environment and with the right people :)
I can hear a thousand of us ENFPs saying "wow! I'm not alone." These 'superpowers' are so true. I'm 33 years old and in the last 13 years I've been a Senior-Level Maintenance Director in Assisted Living, a National Delegate w/various other political positions, an Economics Seminar Presenter, a Missionary to South Africa, a Pastor, a Home Church Planter, a Musician with professionally recorded/produced original music, and currently a house remodeler in a new state. It's been a real struggle sometimes feeling that there is something wrong with me....also a 4w3 on the Enneagram. So, there ya go. Life, in a way, is w playground and if I could live 1,000 years and do 100s of more things I think I might go for it.
Would love to chat with other ENFP's, I've just finally understood why I am the way I am and it's like a massive weight lifting of and can finally accept myself.
Great content. I feel this 100%. Meanwhile, I’m noticing your rubber chicken in the background and thinking, “this man is definitely part of my tribe.” I’m happy I found your channel!
I started my first official job over the summer (packing corn), and I picked up the general gist of what I was expected to do within the first day 😂😂 ENFPs are lit!
If you like the shirt I'm wearing in this video, you can buy similar clothing (not just shirts) and support the designer, an ENFJ and our video editor, Gabby on her Etsy store: www.etsy.com/shop/CzechThatPrint
As an ENFP I was curious about it and happened upon this video. I wanted to see what superpowers I might have. When you spoke about reading a room. That’s actually a form of clairvoyance called clairaudience. Here is a link explaining it and all of the other subsets. enhalems.com/communication/?fbclid=IwAR2jaSOFgNjLVOEQrlsBoW5s8Hrxpv2UGof2BF76hC7Lm9Whbq14efF_wtc I actually am all four but only recently. I had a dissociative fugue that “unlocked” something. I discovered I had what is called acquired savant syndrome which is the psychological term used today. The fugue was a reaction from a prescription of topomax that was giving me suicidal thoughts. I literally thought god was talking to me through the tv. When “god” told me to “just kill myself”. I literally yelled “fuck that and fuck you.” Party my French. blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/brain-gain-a-person-can-instantly-blossom-into-a-savant-and-no-one-knows-why/ At the same time this cause what felt “rewired” my brain if that makes sense. It unlocked all four parts of my brains intuitive thinking. www.google.com/amp/s/exploringyourmind.com/the-4-types-of-intuitive-thinking/amp/?fbclid=IwAR2VfgYf_aaZER6F6eobwVJ_DzrYisumqCFBKuKPDkFoZSDsp73QRCW_odA For example when I talk to people, it’s like I am talking to them “spirit to spirit” if you will. When people use the analogy “walk in someone shoes”. That’s how I talk to people now. I talk to them like I am literally standing in their shoes with them on an emotional level. To put it simply, i now add feelings to my word with any dialogue I have with someone. These are the best examples I can share with you. The feelings I would say what happened to me would be.... Ok, in the film Matrix. Neo wakes up out of the matrix. Then goes on the gauntlet of mental training and/of self discovery. Literally dumping all of my fears and deep self esteem issues that were hard wired into our brains since birth from all of society. Parents, family, schools, religion, government, media...pretty much everything that we interact on a daily basis. I just wanted to share this with you. As an ENFP, I thought it might interest you. I can’t speak for you either or if you will even see this? Thanks if you do....🧠✌🏼❤️
Hi, ENFP-T here. I usually don't subscribe to any channel because I like to discover always something new. I am more the kind of person to erase often my browser history just so RUclips would propose new contents to me. But there was something so authentic et non controlling about the way you proposed to subscribe, that I did an exception for you. I can sense how a good person you must be. Thank you for who you are. Many blessings.
Since I was a young girl like 12 years old, I noticed how I was able to have conversations with all different types of people with different interests. When I became a teenager it became abundantly clear to me that I know a little about everything. Meanwhile, many people have only a handful of things they really know about. I feel like that was why I had a hard time being friends with girls/women in general. The majority of the time they only had a few interests such as hair, makeup, relationships, etc. and even though I’m a hairstylist I care deeply about politics, philosophy, video games, animation, motorcycles, the list goes on and on. Even though I may not be a master in anything besides hair and RPGs I love that I have all this knowledge about different things
Watching this video while thinking about myself on a deeper level and also choosing what game to play later. I love myself rn, let's see what happens today!
I have always known the “read the room” skill. I take it as a mix of the Intuition and Perception skills. I know when friends or family are on a high or low almost immediately.
I made a free training for you guys focused on how you apply these superpowers to making an awesome life as an ENFP. You can get it here: www.dreamsaroundtheworld.com/enfptraining/
Hey I was wondering if you could do a thing on infp and enfp? Cause I watched videos of the super powers between the 2 and among other traits to tell them apart but it’s so difficult to know which one I am.
Bro. I'm SOLD!!! 1ST. VIDEO. ENFP "The Teacher" You described ME to a T Iwant to learn more about this. Thank you so much for the info. Looking forward to this!!!
I personally have struggled with mediocrity my whole life. I feel like there are things I'm average at, but not good enough to use them for a career. So I feel like I lead a mundane and unfulfilling life instead. I struggle to find the motivation to master anything. I think it is also a fear that if I try my best and my best isn't good enough, I'm a failure. So I don't push myself. I often look for affirmation and encouragement from others to believe I can excel at something before I decide to pursue it. The second power you talked about makes 150% sense to me. I could be talking with someone and slowly have moved 20 feet away from them and they are still talking to me. Or I won't be contributing to a conversation at all besides "mhm" and "oh yeah" and they never pick up the social cues that I'm not interested and we need to change subjects. I can instantly tell when someone isn't interested in what I'm saying. I don't get offended by it, I just maneuver the conversation until they start to participate. I can also feel the shift in a room. When tension is thick, I feel it immediately. When feel I've offended someone, I know instantly. If someone is unusually quiet, my attention is drawn towards them and I start analysing them to try and figure out what changed for them. It is a skill I didn't realize was unique to me. This is mind-blowing! Also, there are countless times I've had to mediate two people's conversations and explain each ones perspective until they understand the other's side. I have the ability to see several perspectives, even when I don't agree with one and explain it in a neutral manner.
AS an ENFP it is when you shift different jobs with in little time And you hate what they call routine You also come the class at late time You can stay alone for a long time
So spot on. And really are amazing super powers. I really believe that throughout my Air Force Service career that “drop into a mess” idea really was the catalyst for my success. As an ENFP you just seem to “know things” that others don’t always figure out as fast. Yes, a gifting. I really like the “reading the room” point too. It’s like “people watching” with a purpose. Got to be careful not to use the gifts to manipulate (even unwittingly).
Well that makes a lot of sense. Theres always times where I notice a mood change, even if it's slight, in someone. Then when I ask them what's wrong, they usually will say nothing is wrong and I will reply "No something is wrong." After that they usually tell me whats on their mind of happening. I don't know how I/we do it but it's kind of always just there. I can even tell by the way someone is messaging that something is off. It is a great skill to have.

I think I'm a different ENFP :P I developed a passion for Math, Physics and Science itself... Because I LOVE science, new discoveries, new ideas... for me everything is connected! I found myself in Computer Science and it went very well. I think Artificial Intelligence is really interesting too! Reading scientific articles, papers. The Science itself, for me, is completely amusing... :D I LOVE logics too, I always were good at on school, like a natural talent. And I never get bored! Because there is always something new to learn and each problem was like an Enygma to me: I Love Patterns! I can see myself reading people emotions very easily too btw :) It is crazy how we can be good at different areas. It is our Fi, the secondary cognitive function of our stack. Ne + Fi together has a tremendous power. When we like something, we go 200% for it!
I always wanted to inspire people by making my dreams come true, making succes while being happy with little steps throught the process, I wanted to teach people to do it on their own, find their passion and really live up to their dreams. I just looove affecting people's way of thinking and passion. Yesterday I found out I am ENFP, and now everything makes sense.
I just redid my MBTi. I was initially typed as INFJ, but redid the test and it came out as ENFP. My E is 55% while I is 45%. This post of yours is spot on. Thank you
Oh my goshhh the two people having a different conversation thing!! YES! I’m always like “how do you guys not realize you’re not talking about the same thing?!”
Nailed ALL of me and a lot of my experiences. I'm happy to know there in nothing wrong with me. I've been raised around a lot of SJ's and I've been ridiculously misunderstood, wrongfully directed and judged for not choosing one thing and sticking with it until I die! I'm talented in achieving many goals and have a lot of talent in random things. Again, this confuses people who want to "guide" me into THAT thing, and I either do it and not for long or reject it. Many don't get we're not meant to be mainstream or aligned with just one career or path. I've also found that even though I'm "scattered " when i need to I'm amazingly organized, disciplined and can accomplish any goal I set for myself with grand flair and success. I've also found that when I'm creative organization and staunch discipline may not work in my favor, I need to stay fluid. At 49 years young it's been a struggle, BUT I take a look back on my life thus far and I've accomplished a lot more than most. In fact many would be afraid too. I've gotten 3 degrees, one a masters, graduated with honors on two. Had my own daycare with high national certifications, I've had two spiritual businesses one is coaching with astrology which is pretty successful and growing, I've got 4 spiritual initiations in 4 traditional practices, over 30 spiritual certifications, I've been a make up artist, face/body painter- a full time parent, and now I'm grooving back to my soul with my first choice in my late teens that I got steered away from by my ISTJ father, and ExxJ mother-creativity. I'm currently working on a memoir, short-story and erotic author! Did I mention voice acting? 😜 I love me and an ENFP! There is always room to explore and thrive!!!
My oh my, I always thought the jack of all trades thing was because I am Gemini, but I've always been an absolute ENFP. Thanks so much, I'm glad I found an ENFP channel ; D it helps that others understand! This video was right on Point!
I kid you not I noticed very young that people are comfortable disclosing things with me, even if I'm not someone they know very well. It's the reason why I'm in school going for social work, this is very accurate of me as a whole.
I might challenge you on the 2nd super power there. ENFJs and INFPs are arguably just as good or maybe even better at noticing the mood change in a room. Thank you for the info you taught me a lot of new stuff :D
It is a (very) original design from my partner in life and crime Gabby. Just today we put it online so you can order it as a shirt, hoodie, or mug if you'd like :) Find it here: teespring.com/pink-vagnum#pid=387&cid=101810&sid=front
This thing about ENFP being able to read the room is so true, I've always had the hability to make people feel extremely comfortable around me, even though they just met me, I just can read what they are feeling and so I can tell what is the best approach :)
Okay one question : When you watch a video, and some one is explaining things one after the other... do you fly away with one ear to your own "explanation voice" and think about interesting things that come from that one thought while still listening with the other ear, so you do not miss any interesting stuff? ^^
the one thing enfps are really good at, i have found, is going out and traveling, driving around, finding an idea and that being the corner stone to their buisness they want to start or they find a passion that drives them, to make social change exc. i've found that if i am passionate about something that drives me and i don't even need food or sleep because i am so passionate it can fuel me for days. driving around and going out into the world is very important for our well being and to get ideas to change the world
I'm an ENFP who works the room as a standup comic in a swami's robe doing funny psychic readings for people -- this after having been a professional psychic astrologer for 40 years doing over 50,000 personal readings. I have to read the room as well as most of the people in it. And it's hard for me to do one thing (I also sing and play music, write, play chess, and dabble in politics). My wife of 18 years is more an ISTJ (but borderline on all the opposite values -- I make her more an ISTJ than she may want to be just to handle me!). I can tell someone's Myers-Briggs within seconds just talking with them -- and one day when I have the time want to develop a program for showing the correspondence between the whole astrology chart and the Myers-Briggs type of individual, thus proving the validity of astrology.
What if an ENFP female is married to a super structured introvert ISTJ guy? Any guidelines as per your knowledge? (am subscribing, this video was great)
I've been in that situation, it's frustrating because you bring so much newness and life to life. And yet he might resent having his routine messed with, even though it seems to you such an improvement. But if you have enough common interests, it can be your advantage; he can see the roadblocks and steer things from disaster, and you can show him the sunny meadows behind the clouds, so the road you travel has meaning.
This is spot on...I have been part of the peer interview panel at work...i can always pick out the ones who are not going to last long or will fit in well...i have a good sense for people...
This is so true!!! Oddly I developed a skill of being extremely good at a range of of trades. It allows for Independence and a more humble understandIng of the majority of "worker bees" - and we are Intuitive, Empaths - The vast majority are clueless to any intuitive energy. So true I always thought it was logic - everyone could use it and had to - because it is so readily obvious - but we are on a plane that they have no staircase to - That still boggles my mind! There are exercises to further enhance our gifts...

ENFPs. There is no limit to what we can accomplish when we are supposed to be doing something else
Eric Murimi hahaha! That made me chuckle 🙈
Hahaha soooo true
My god this is true i’m Dead😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Eric Murimi Oh my god, yes
Ahahah 😂
As an ENFP, you're probably reading this comment while watching the video
Conor F OMG SO TRUEEEEE!!! Hahahaha. Distracted as always 😂
DONT EXPOSE ME LIKE THIS
Conor F YOOOOOOO😂😂😂😂😂
Hahaha, true😂😜
HAHaahhah😂
As an ENFP ive always felt my super power was to bring out the inner child in the people around me
Indeed
True. Or simply make them feel better. I work in a gaming arcade, and people are often stressed out from losing a lot of money. The saddest thing is when they win, but they're still not happy because they lost so much more. I can't change that, but I'd be like "Hey, that's 700€ LESS loss!" or something like that. Or I get out the special chocolates. Or whatever it takes, I mean, some people just want to be left alone, of course.
Anyway, I hear quite often that they appreciate my efforts to make them feel better again just by being positive and often quite ridiculous as well. (Like when I told someone that maybe he doesn't win, because the universe only gives you what you need, not what you wish for, and obviously, he got everything he needs already, material-wise.)
Agreed. Jack of all trades definitely not me. Being a clown and using humour to push those traditional PC boundaries is.
Holy crap yup
Agree! I teach at School of Rock and my being able to tap into my own inner-child has been a great help to my success as a leader and teacher.
Enfp is.. when you give advice on someone so wisely then when it happens to you.. you full of your feeling cant think logically 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
oh my god!! totaly relate xD
But that’s what makes NFs empathetic & internally colourful right? Knowing (feeling)
human frailty that comes with every step of the journey..
so tru:')

Yayyy xd
@@SarahMike147 Fun fact Kurt Cobain was an INFP so high five
As an ENFP, I suffer mostly from indecision and sometimes am paralysed from doing routine stuff. I don't know what I have to do to get out of these situations. My main problem is discipline. I'm not organised.
StarlightnDust I have the same problems. Getting ready in the morning or doing chores seems to take all day. I find if I take a class in what ENFPs are good at once a week I do fine. I totally fit in teaching writing fairy tales to at-risk people. And I got paid! Good luck.
Jordan Peterson videos will help you get organized and disciplines. They've helped me a lot. Also check out understandmyself.com
@@omarmiz Thanks, Omar. I'll take a look at the website.
@@jocelyneke6445 Yeah, same here. I'm going into teaching online n Journalism later this year.
Big problem for me. Its hurting my studies
I feel like my whole life is being explained to me ever since I found out I'm an enfp
Facts
TRUE
100 years of life span explained in four letters ENFP... Kind of surprising.
Like Zodiac Discovery.
SAME!
I found out last year I am am ENFP. Since then all these videos are just helping me understand myself better...
ENFP-personalities are like chameleons: we adapt to what feels needed in each situation again; we love harmony.
Therefore we can switch from more extravert (enthusiasm) to introvert (observing), from using our senses to using our intuition.
It depends on the situation which of the 8 qualities fits best for that time /place/person.
THIS! We adapt so well and unconsciously that somehow it just scare me hahaha
@@shapelessheart6647To make you feel better: In evolution it isn't the strongest that survives. It's the ones that can adapt to ever changing conditions and circumstances.
YES. TRUE. MAN OF TRUE WORDS
YES??!!???? and sometimes i’m like WHO THE FUCK AM I????????? do i even have a standard personality os am i just adjusting as life goes???
Omg this exactly defines me
This is so accurate it's scary. Jack of all, master of most. Reading people's minds and picking up energies. Stupid fast learner/mentor. Totally unorganized and all over the place. Wow
So accurate.
Indeed
Millennial Construction Yes!
Millennial Construction that’s me lol
lisa copus I think the Universe is pushing you out of an old chapter. Many blessings to you. 🙏♥️
the bad side of reading others well is when it doesnt happen the other way and, as an enfp, you feel hurt or even offended, like you said, we tend to think it's obvious
It’s also kinda bad when you know the other one is reading you too and you’re not the only one who knows how the other person feels about you like „If I know that she likes me she knows that I like her too omfg stop“
Yes! I'm really involved in some communities online and see a lot of conflicts. I can always immediately determine what both sides wants and what the conflict is, but others never seem to be able to see it. So frustrating.
But it also really helps me when I get into arguments. I've always been able to find a middleground for both of us because I always know what the other person actually wants (So many are just talking their way around their actual issues lol).
ENFP: Jack of All Trades and Vibe Checks
Facts.
As an ENFP, the first super power is so amazing.
I'm forty yet in the last four years I have been a professional photographer, a published author of books on Astronomy, an entrepreneur, a teacher and a full time dad at home. All that while raising a family and having a supportive wife.
That's awesome. If you're up for doing an interview sometime fire me an email through my website www.dreamsaroundtheworld.com
wondering your wife personality is the first thing that STUCK to my head
I aspire to be like that fellow older ENFP :) Love and support to you and your family :)
Yessss you are an inspiration!!! I work full time as a single mom and i have two side projects in education. It gets hard at times but it is so fulfilling
THANK YOU FOR SHARING!! there are so many things that I want to accomplish. Both artistic and sciencey ;)
The second superpower is so accurate! As an ENFP i realized that i seem to have the power of attracting people to talk to me about everything. Friends or even strangers, they all seem to be very eager and attracted to talk to me and tell me secrets and stories and everything.. and i seem to be able to listen and take their perspective into account very accurately. I didnt know i could do that because i was an ENFP haha
Same here, it’s like the opposite of the resting bitch face. I have the “please tell me more” face and vibe. :)
This is so true
Sometime I didn’t even look into their eyes, but they just started to talk about their life stories to me and I was like...(Are you talking to me?) oh, great. What’s next?
Yep. Because we are so approachable!
My favourite thing people tell me is "I've never told anyone this before..."
Where My ENFP homies at!!!
Alan Graber here
Here
u still there I'm here just figured out I'm an e n f p
😃
We right here dawg.
I am an ENFP and haven't kept a job for more than 8 months.
I get bored and chase opportunity.
Lmaooo this is me to a T
Same here.
same
Damn :/ same here. I have family tell me you cant keep a job for more than a year and that gets me depressed sometimes
Sameee
Took me awhile to figure out that I am an ENFP. It's been an emotional rollercoaster.
Rhonda J Hang In there, Rhonda. Life gets better when you accept the way you have been built. I used to hate myself because I got pushed around a lot. I was an emotional Ferris wheel. But as I understood my personality, I learned to steer clear of areas that didn’t bring out the best in me. I wish the very best for you as you follow the path to who you are. Be blessed. - Mark
Master Sergeant Thanks for this.
(edit) As an ENFP I forget what you wrote just by all the emotions pf replying to a comment.
i'm an enfp, yes i listened to the whole video, but my hands already starting to do something else meanwhile my ears listening to this video and i need to restart again cuzz im starting to forget but i need to catch on something else but i want to understand this but its ok. hahaha
Stop lol that was exactly what I was doing as I was reading your comment
I either watch and read comments or I speed up the video as to force myself to focus 😏
Lol. This is so me.
I restarted this video 3 times.....
😂😂😂
Reading a room - dead on! My husband (my exact opposite - ISTJ) is fascinated by how I can sense mood shifts. I can tell when something is weighing on his (or anybody's) mind as soon as it happens. I'll just say to him, "what's up?" or "what's on your mind?" And he's like, "how do you DO that? How do you just KNOW?" He calls me a witch. I just smile and laugh and wait for him to tell me what's on his mind. Because my sense is never wrong lol.
1000 years ago you'd definitely be burned for psychic powers :)
Omg I feel like a witch too sometimes , is like am I the only one sensing things? 😂😂🙈
Sierrajuliet99 I’m exactly like that but whenever I ask the person I can also sense that they’re lying about it like “no it’s nothing” or “I’m fine” and they end up not telling mr
I am shocked you married an ISTJ, I am dating one right now and it's hard. But for some reason I really like him...wow I just came full circle haha so I guess I can see how you married him.
Absolutely 100% same!!!
As an ENFP I have friends coming to me for advice on stuff I’ve never had to deal with, but they always notice that I stick to my morals and beliefs, and I won’t bend for anyone or anything, which I find as an amazing power ✨
That definitely is :)
Oh my gosh, I’m an ENFP and I can relate!! I HATE consistency! I’ll start working on something, but then get caught up by another idea and start that instead! It takes me serious dedication to invest all of my time into something for a while, since I usually switch from idea to idea.
There's literally only one thing I did since I was 5: Playing the violin - I switched to the viola when I got the chance (they needed a viola player & my curiosity took over). It happens that I decide to learn Morse code one day, then Braille the next, then I hear Italian & begin to learn that, after another week I decide to play the guitar... Who knows what will come next? Parcours? Kickboxing? Cliffjumping? You never know xD
To summarize: I 100% agree
Hahaha! Everyone tells me their problems & wants my advice. It's a bit overwhelming at times.
I've definitely the mediator too
That's why I became a therapist. Might as well capitalize on our talents, right? 😊
joyful I’m an ENFP... so relatable!
Same here +Joyful and I am terrible at giving advice.
Haha me too bro
That ENFP “power” of sensing moods and vibes, I always have sensed them. I could tell what the mood was by the atmosphere. I still need time to build upon this skill (sometimes I pick up a false vibe by tricking myself) but I can usually sense mood changes, just not realizing it. I’ll try to be more perceptive on this. There is one other “power” I noticed and I’m not sure if this is common among ENFPs or it’s just an ability of mine, but I am able to draw people out of their shells and open up to me. Lots of my friends are introverted and my brother and I (we’re both ENFP) can easily befriend them and make them relaxed despite their unwillingness to open up.
Works great in Domming others too
Carla Putnam
Seriously? Why?
Now I hate ENFPs.
@@zain4019 Being able to read others and deliver results to then. Not sure why you would "hate" anyone. Have an open mind to things you don't know or understand.
Carla Putnam
I rather live in a world based on love and compassion rather than pain and fear, thank-you. There’s no changing that for me, ever. I have values, and I live by them.
“Hate” was too harsh of a word to use. I just dislike displays of power, that’s all.
Twiggy the Torterra EXACTLY
Just an INFJ stopping by to say that i genuinely agree with all the things said in this video. This is based on all my experiences in meeting and knowing many ENFPs
You're so sweet! Thanks
Thought I was alone in this world lol.
I would love to have conversations with another ENFP.
Samee
Hey same here...
Can we create a group on whatsap
I'm down
Balmeet Singh create one, u got us three ;)
Totally agree!
Every time I start at a new Company, I am always thrown into the deep end without training. Which I figure out the systems and processes very quickly and then within a short period of time, I end up knowing more than most people. I pick up things very quickly.
Then yes, I always read rooms and people and most of the time, know how to be a chameleon in that situation to understand and communicate to each person individually. And I always look at both sides of the coin!
I didn't know that most people cannot do this. It always baffled me why other people cannot understand both sides of the story.
From a fellow ENFP :)
I’m an INFJ getting married to an ENFP and I can confirm that she is very good at the two things mentioned in this video. She is in school to become a teacher and is friends with everyone (this can be exhausting for me as an introvert). One thing she struggles with is: she says yes to help everyone and as a result has very little time to focus on herself. She becomes exhausted and overwhelmed. I am trying to help her learn how to kindly say no in these times, but just wanted to let you all know in case you find yourself struggling with the same thing. Keep your head up, you’re a very kind person and love to help people, but sometimes it helps to have a day to rest. Have a great day.
Omg yes so true 1000% I can feel people’s energy when I walk into a room, and I can read people well. I work in healthcare,but I’m on my way to becoming a standup comedian.
Robin Williams was an ENFP. 😉😁 Did you ever see Patch Adams?
Low key, my dream job.
And you think you have the patience to write the script .. All the best
It's not worth it to procrastinate replying this it has stood the test of time man you are literally another me🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yay! I love being an ENFP. Sometimes it is frustrating because actually carrying out the tasks that I do fervently started can be reaaaalllllyyyyy boring 😂
Melody Notmylastname finishing my writing is hard because I often lose notebooks I wrote them in. I can never finish cleaning the house.
Totally. I’m currently struggling hard to keep writing a technical research paper on an incredible survey I created last year about restraint and seclusion in US institutions that got some unbelievably important results. Ugh. I know I need to finish it but it was so much easier/more fun to talk about it at a conference than it is to write this paper.
No matter how much time I have to get myself ready to go to work or out I never seem to be punctual.
Oh God... i felt that. Always the same!
If you are hearing the video while scrolling down to read the comments section then congratulations YOU ARE A TRUE ENFP
I am an ENFP and the second Superpower reminded me of a party where two close friends of mine who are in a relationship with each other (INFJ and INTJ) had a rough argument and at first I didn´t want to interfere with them, but I felt that their communication was so passive aggressive and not helpful that I took both of them aside and started acting as a mediator. It really made things better and they found solutions to their problems. They were also really thankful and the INTJ told me, I had such a "calm aura" which helped them.
I also want to become a teacher, so after you said the Superpower will be great for that I made a little victory dance. :D
Thanks for your videos!
i can feel that feeling. :D
Good job. That’s step one. Step two is three way thunderfucking
I've also been told that I have a "calm aura"
So wholesome ;)
I’m an ENFP I’m too passionate about certain things (lmao I can’t even help it) and also I have interest in a lot of things and I feel like I’d achieve in many different things but I don’t know where the fuck to start idk what I want 😂🤦🏾♀️
i feel u. really.
Im an Enfp and empathic. So all of this was very bossting for me personally. Being an enfp, i struggled liking me personality wise for a long time. But this has helped so much
Peach Quartz I am curious how many EMFP’s are empaths. I am too, and it makes perfect sense that the personality type seems to overlap with what I perceive as a spiritual connection.
I am an ENFP and an empath as well!
Isn’t every ENFP an empath? Like how do we sense if we aren’t🤔
@@bamiebambiene1639 this was 3 years ago. I had just learned about personality typed and empathy
@@TK_Danes Oh hahah yeah I didn’t look at the time
It’s so true - if there was ever an apocalyptic event, the ENFPs would rise to the occasion and be at the forefront to figure out how to save us all. We thrive in chaos and thinking outside the box.
as an enfp, i myself never really felt awkward.. i think i just naturally make situations comfortable for everyone... so even if there was an awkward moment i make it comfortable again without even noticing.
omg same
No one:
Literally no one:
ENFPs: watching the video at x2 speed
Wait, I can do this?? Sweet.
Me watching Podcasts at 2x Speed is acutally easy
I keep coming up enfp in tests but see myself as an introvert... and yet his descriptions are VERY accurate. I don’t even wanna read rooms or be friendly... but it happens anyway
Are you going through a lot of stress at the moment? Are you depressed? Fi makes ENFPs introverted when they are depressed because they must process their emotions alone. ENFPs are very likely to see themselves as introverts. I am and an ENFP male and the most extroverted person you will ever meet, but even I was introverted in the past, especially when I was depressed. It depends on how emotionally mature you are. It takes time to fully develop your personality
CancerResearch yeah. That seems very accurate.
Depressed or seriously stressed ENFP’s become introverted as all get out. We are the most introverted of all the extroverted E types. ENFP’s actually can overstimulate and overwhelm themselves without realizing because they want to keep extroverting all the time and socialize a lot, then we crash into home bodies who never go out or do anything if we let this go on too long. We crash.
VERY insightful, thank you
Starburst so true! I’m currently in that crash phase. But it’s ok because I need to repair and strengthen my protective layer. Being empathic as well I have absorbed too much negativity from people. The older I get the better I get at recognizing people and situations I need to stay away from. It’s exhausting being able to pick up on everyone’s energy and most people don’t notice yours at all. It’s like our personality type is the truth seer and feeler for the human race.
*Totally* agree with the fact we can sense a shift in the mood as around us. When it happen's, my heart drops a bit, and it's like an internal alarm; reminding me to shift the way I am acting with those people.
Edit: *ALSO* the part where we see both sides of a conversation! I couldn't tell you how many times I've diffused my parents or friends arguments after pointing out both of their sides that they haven't understood, and pointing out/softening it so they can see the other perspective. I love this video because I thought these things were normal, but I feel really special because of these powers! :)
Thanks Haku
Seeing both sides of the conversation can be a blessing and a curse - I love being able to do it and don't understand how others can't (Although I somehow do, cause I also understand THEIR perspective too, but it's still strange). On the other hand I hate reading comments under controversial posts cause I understand how both sides come to their conclusions or (in other cases) they just absolutely miss each other's points... It's the same with family arguments. I feel the argument coming up before it starts and I hate seeing them completely dismiss the underlying problems. It's the worst when you understand both sides in that situation, cause it's impossible to pick a side since both are right in a way, but everyone wants you to do so.
It's still a great skill tho & I wouldn't want to trade it in for something else ever
that's so weird. it's been happening around me a lot where I understand what two different sides are saying and why one or both are misunderstanding something. the weird this is I was just noticing that this happens a lot to me but I nearly never see anyone else able to do it. I didn't know it was an enfp thing.
“To understand people emotionally or their message” so freaking true! I asked one of my close friends how i am / act when she tells me she has a problem or she wants to talk to somone about what troubles her. She wrote a whole paragraph about how i listen really well, i validate her feelings, i give her emotional support but also wise she said. Better believe i almost teared up
The INFJs sense the shift in mood too, probably even before us. But yeah, we're good at it :D
I never realized how accurate I am as a enfp. I honestly thought I was weirdly different.
As an ENFP i find that i can be super disciplined and structure. Is just that it never worked in the corporate environment for the obvious reasons. Once i quite and did what i was supposed to : be a freelancer then starting my own business all these skills which I never though i had came to be so natural. I think ENFPs are like a wildcard they can do absolutely anything because of the super powers you mentioned but they do need to be in the right environment and with the right people :)
Second 'power' hit the nail on the head. It just comes so natural to me to sense others emotions or just the energy in the room.
I can hear a thousand of us ENFPs saying "wow! I'm not alone." These 'superpowers' are so true. I'm 33 years old and in the last 13 years I've been a Senior-Level Maintenance Director in Assisted Living, a National Delegate w/various other political positions, an Economics Seminar Presenter, a Missionary to South Africa, a Pastor, a Home Church Planter, a Musician with professionally recorded/produced original music, and currently a house remodeler in a new state.
It's been a real struggle sometimes feeling that there is something wrong with me....also a 4w3 on the Enneagram. So, there ya go. Life, in a way, is w playground and if I could live 1,000 years and do 100s of more things I think I might go for it.
And the best part is that a lot of others can't do that and enjoy it!
Would love to chat with other ENFP's, I've just finally understood why I am the way I am and it's like a massive weight lifting of and can finally accept myself.
I will love to chat with ENFPs too🌷
Great content. I feel this 100%. Meanwhile, I’m noticing your rubber chicken in the background and thinking, “this man is definitely part of my tribe.” I’m happy I found your channel!
Omg I can tell when someone is hiding something and inner feelings as well
I started my first official job over the summer (packing corn), and I picked up the general gist of what I was expected to do within the first day 😂😂 ENFPs are lit!

As an ENFP I was curious about it and happened upon this video. I wanted to see what superpowers I might have.
When you spoke about reading a room. That’s actually a form of clairvoyance called clairaudience. Here is a link explaining it and all of the other subsets.
enhalems.com/communication/?fbclid=IwAR2jaSOFgNjLVOEQrlsBoW5s8Hrxpv2UGof2BF76hC7Lm9Whbq14efF_wtc
I actually am all four but only recently. I had a dissociative fugue that “unlocked” something. I discovered I had what is called acquired savant syndrome which is the psychological term used today.
The fugue was a reaction from a prescription of topomax that was giving me suicidal thoughts. I literally thought god was talking to me through the tv. When “god” told me to “just kill myself”. I literally yelled “fuck that and fuck you.” Party my French.
blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/brain-gain-a-person-can-instantly-blossom-into-a-savant-and-no-one-knows-why/
At the same time this cause what felt “rewired” my brain if that makes sense. It unlocked all four parts of my brains intuitive thinking.
www.google.com/amp/s/exploringyourmind.com/the-4-types-of-intuitive-thinking/amp/?fbclid=IwAR2VfgYf_aaZER6F6eobwVJ_DzrYisumqCFBKuKPDkFoZSDsp73QRCW_odA
For example when I talk to people, it’s like I am talking to them “spirit to spirit” if you will. When people use the analogy “walk in someone shoes”. That’s how I talk to people now. I talk to them like I am literally standing in their shoes with them on an emotional level. To put it simply, i now add feelings to my word with any dialogue I have with someone.
These are the best examples I can share with you. The feelings I would say what happened to me would be....
Ok, in the film Matrix. Neo wakes up out of the matrix. Then goes on the gauntlet of mental training and/of self discovery. Literally dumping all of my fears and deep self esteem issues that were hard wired into our brains since birth from all of society. Parents, family, schools, religion, government, media...pretty much everything that we interact on a daily basis.
I just wanted to share this with you. As an ENFP, I thought it might interest you. I can’t speak for you either or if you will even see this?
Thanks if you do....🧠✌🏼❤️
Hi, ENFP-T here. I usually don't subscribe to any channel because I like to discover always something new. I am more the kind of person to erase often my browser history just so RUclips would propose new contents to me. But there was something so authentic et non controlling about the way you proposed to subscribe, that I did an exception for you. I can sense how a good person you must be. Thank you for who you are. Many blessings.
I am deeply honoured!
Great video! Its a great confident booster for my personality type😁
Thanks :)

"Here is what you are trying to say" and "ability to understand people" THIS IS SO TRUE. I'm an ENFP and I'm totally this person!
Since I was a young girl like 12 years old, I noticed how I was able to have conversations with all different types of people with different interests. When I became a teenager it became abundantly clear to me that I know a little about everything. Meanwhile, many people have only a handful of things they really know about. I feel like that was why I had a hard time being friends with girls/women in general. The majority of the time they only had a few interests such as hair, makeup, relationships, etc. and even though I’m a hairstylist I care deeply about politics, philosophy, video games, animation, motorcycles, the list goes on and on. Even though I may not be a master in anything besides hair and RPGs I love that I have all this knowledge about different things
Watching this video while thinking about myself on a deeper level and also choosing what game to play later. I love myself rn, let's see what happens today!
I have always known the “read the room” skill. I take it as a mix of the Intuition and Perception skills. I know when friends or family are on a high or low almost immediately.
I'm fascinated by how accurate this video is
I made a free training for you guys focused on how you apply these superpowers to making an awesome life as an ENFP. You can get it here: www.dreamsaroundtheworld.com/enfptraining/
Hey I was wondering if you could do a thing on infp and enfp? Cause I watched videos of the super powers between the 2 and among other traits to tell them apart but it’s so difficult to know which one I am.
Bro. I'm SOLD!!! 1ST. VIDEO. ENFP "The Teacher" You described ME to a T Iwant to learn more about this. Thank you so much for the info. Looking forward to this!!!
I personally have struggled with mediocrity my whole life. I feel like there are things I'm average at, but not good enough to use them for a career. So I feel like I lead a mundane and unfulfilling life instead. I struggle to find the motivation to master anything. I think it is also a fear that if I try my best and my best isn't good enough, I'm a failure. So I don't push myself. I often look for affirmation and encouragement from others to believe I can excel at something before I decide to pursue it.
The second power you talked about makes 150% sense to me. I could be talking with someone and slowly have moved 20 feet away from them and they are still talking to me. Or I won't be contributing to a conversation at all besides "mhm" and "oh yeah" and they never pick up the social cues that I'm not interested and we need to change subjects. I can instantly tell when someone isn't interested in what I'm saying. I don't get offended by it, I just maneuver the conversation until they start to participate. I can also feel the shift in a room. When tension is thick, I feel it immediately. When feel I've offended someone, I know instantly. If someone is unusually quiet, my attention is drawn towards them and I start analysing them to try and figure out what changed for them. It is a skill I didn't realize was unique to me. This is mind-blowing! Also, there are countless times I've had to mediate two people's conversations and explain each ones perspective until they understand the other's side. I have the ability to see several perspectives, even when I don't agree with one and explain it in a neutral manner.
dudeeee sameeee
AS an ENFP
it is when you shift different jobs with in little time
And you hate what they call routine
You also come the class at late time
You can stay alone for a long time
Hmmm...two comments. 211 views. 2/11. That's my life path number and I'm a proud ENFP. Apparently I needed this video today.
I think the only natural thing to do now is buy 211 copies of my book. :) Dan
So spot on. And really are amazing super powers. I really believe that throughout my Air Force Service career that “drop into a mess” idea really was the catalyst for my success. As an ENFP you just seem to “know things” that others don’t always figure out as fast. Yes, a gifting. I really like the “reading the room” point too. It’s like “people watching” with a purpose. Got to be careful not to use the gifts to manipulate (even unwittingly).
I love how my old teachers and friends would be like "call Vicky she will deal with this"
I know right!!
Well that makes a lot of sense. Theres always times where I notice a mood change, even if it's slight, in someone. Then when I ask them what's wrong, they usually will say nothing is wrong and I will reply "No something is wrong." After that they usually tell me whats on their mind of happening. I don't know how I/we do it but it's kind of always just there. I can even tell by the way someone is messaging that something is off. It is a great skill to have.
That's accurate in texting. How often did I feel that a simple "Hey" is different
This is shocking how accurate this is! I am an entrepreneur in event management and a wellness coach! It's both superpowers!
Want to meet me and other ENFPs while having an epic vacation in Europe? Well then, do I have a treat for you! I'm hosting Life Design Fiesta 2023 in Prague this September. It's an intimate event (8-12 people in total) over 5 days. It's a beautiful mix of an awesome vacation, a great party, and a life-changing seminar. You can learn more here (tickets are more affordable than you'd think!): www.DreamsAroundTheWorld.com/LifeDesignFiesta
I really want to know about your disaster friends career path; please please pleas
It’s why we’re called “The Champion”.
I think I'm a different ENFP :P I developed a passion for Math, Physics and Science itself... Because I LOVE science, new discoveries, new ideas... for me everything is connected! I found myself in Computer Science and it went very well. I think Artificial Intelligence is really interesting too! Reading scientific articles, papers. The Science itself, for me, is completely amusing... :D
I LOVE logics too, I always were good at on school, like a natural talent. And I never get bored! Because there is always something new to learn and each problem was like an Enygma to me: I Love Patterns!
I can see myself reading people emotions very easily too btw :)
It is crazy how we can be good at different areas. It is our Fi, the secondary cognitive function of our stack.
Ne + Fi together has a tremendous power.
When we like something, we go 200% for it!
I always wanted to inspire people by making my dreams come true, making succes while being happy with little steps throught the process, I wanted to teach people to do it on their own, find their passion and really live up to their dreams. I just looove affecting people's way of thinking and passion. Yesterday I found out I am ENFP, and now everything makes sense.
I just redid my MBTi. I was initially typed as INFJ, but redid the test and it came out as ENFP. My E is 55% while I is 45%.
This post of yours is spot on. Thank you
Oh my goshhh the two people having a different conversation thing!! YES! I’m always like “how do you guys not realize you’re not talking about the same thing?!”
ENFP here, relatable video, thanks!
Your point about reading a room is so true. I never realized that not everyone does this.
Most definitely do not!
Thanks mate for your effort. It was definitely informative.
You're welcome!
Did you just say mate? Lol
Nailed ALL of me and a lot of my experiences. I'm happy to know there in nothing wrong with me. I've been raised around a lot of SJ's and I've been ridiculously misunderstood, wrongfully directed and judged for not choosing one thing and sticking with it until I die! I'm talented in achieving many goals and have a lot of talent in random things. Again, this confuses people who want to "guide" me into THAT thing, and I either do it and not for long or reject it. Many don't get we're not meant to be mainstream or aligned with just one career or path. I've also found that even though I'm "scattered " when i need to I'm amazingly organized, disciplined and can accomplish any goal I set for myself with grand flair and success. I've also found that when I'm creative organization and staunch discipline may not work in my favor, I need to stay fluid.
At 49 years young it's been a struggle, BUT I take a look back on my life thus far and I've accomplished a lot more than most. In fact many would be afraid too. I've gotten 3 degrees, one a masters, graduated with honors on two. Had my own daycare with high national certifications, I've had two spiritual businesses one is coaching with astrology which is pretty successful and growing, I've got 4 spiritual initiations in 4 traditional practices, over 30 spiritual certifications, I've been a make up artist, face/body painter- a full time parent, and now I'm grooving back to my soul with my first choice in my late teens that I got steered away from by my ISTJ father, and ExxJ mother-creativity. I'm currently working on a memoir, short-story and erotic author! Did I mention voice acting? 😜 I love me and an ENFP! There is always room to explore and thrive!!!
My oh my, I always thought the jack of all trades thing was because I am Gemini, but I've always been an absolute ENFP. Thanks so much, I'm glad I found an ENFP channel ; D it helps that others understand! This video was right on Point!
Happy you found it as well!
oh come on, astrology? lmao
@@DaG00t hey, don't discriminate, it's valid
Well, it's both, right? After all, our natal chart does represent our personality. But of course it's not JUST your sun sign.
Everything he just said is me. It feels so good to have these things recognized, so I know I'm not imagining things.
As an EFNP I was almost clicking off this video before I was done to watch something else 😂 😂
Great video! My Grandmother always called me a Jack of all Trades and an Ace if none. I have a strong sense for energies as well. ENFP’s rock 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
You're an ace at being a multi dynamic jack of all trades :)
I like your rubber chicken... And your video :-)
Interpreting people's conversation to each other... oh my word ALL THE TIME!!
It *is* one of our main superpowers! :)
My ENFP boyfriend is a great motivator. He is always trying to make me a better person. I am INTJ...
That's a good match!
That is a match made in heaven. NTs and NFs understand each other.
This was literally like a bit of a booster for me.. ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!
Insightful look at a potentially misunderstood personality type, thank you.
I kid you not I noticed very young that people are comfortable disclosing things with me, even if I'm not someone they know very well. It's the reason why I'm in school going for social work, this is very accurate of me as a whole.
Feeling total validation now! Thank you for making this video!
+Shell Sand you're welcome!
Very good at connecting the pieces and understanding what others need
I might challenge you on the 2nd super power there. ENFJs and INFPs are arguably just as good or maybe even better at noticing the mood change in a room. Thank you for the info you taught me a lot of new stuff :D
I call them (as a compliment) the cheerleaders of the world. It is more valuable than you think. You make the rest of us relax.
Dude, I LOVE your t-shirt!
It is a (very) original design from my partner in life and crime Gabby. Just today we put it online so you can order it as a shirt, hoodie, or mug if you'd like :) Find it here: teespring.com/pink-vagnum#pid=387&cid=101810&sid=front
Thanks Dan! As an INFP, without lack of modesty, I would identify myself with these, too.
I just recently started looking into personality types and this is insane. The jack of all trades comment is definitely me.
This thing about ENFP being able to read the room is so true, I've always had the hability to make people feel extremely comfortable around me, even though they just met me, I just can read what they are feeling and so I can tell what is the best approach :)
Okay one question : When you watch a video, and some one is explaining things one after the other... do you fly away with one ear to your own "explanation voice" and think about interesting things that come from that one thought while still listening with the other ear, so you do not miss any interesting stuff? ^^
the one thing enfps are really good at, i have found, is going out and traveling, driving around, finding an idea and that being the corner stone to their buisness they want to start or they find a passion that drives them, to make social change exc. i've found that if i am passionate about something that drives me and i don't even need food or sleep because i am so passionate it can fuel me for days. driving around and going out into the world is very important for our well being and to get ideas to change the world
This is so relatable
I'm an ENFP who works the room as a standup comic in a swami's robe doing funny psychic readings for people -- this after having been a professional psychic astrologer for 40 years doing over 50,000 personal readings. I have to read the room as well as most of the people in it. And it's hard for me to do one thing (I also sing and play music, write, play chess, and dabble in politics). My wife of 18 years is more an ISTJ (but borderline on all the opposite values -- I make her more an ISTJ than she may want to be just to handle me!). I can tell someone's Myers-Briggs within seconds just talking with them -- and one day when I have the time want to develop a program for showing the correspondence between the whole astrology chart and the Myers-Briggs type of individual, thus proving the validity of astrology.
What if an ENFP female is married to a super structured introvert ISTJ guy? Any guidelines as per your knowledge?
(am subscribing, this video was great)
I've been in that situation, it's frustrating because you bring so much newness and life to life. And yet he might resent having his routine messed with, even though it seems to you such an improvement. But if you have enough common interests, it can be your advantage; he can see the roadblocks and steer things from disaster, and you can show him the sunny meadows behind the clouds, so the road you travel has meaning.
This is spot on...I have been part of the peer interview panel at work...i can always pick out the ones who are not going to last long or will fit in well...i have a good sense for people...
This is so true!!!
Oddly I developed a skill of being extremely good at a range of of trades.
It allows for Independence and a more humble understandIng of the majority of "worker bees" - and we are Intuitive, Empaths -
The vast majority are clueless to any intuitive energy.
So true I always thought it was logic - everyone could use it and had to - because it is so readily obvious - but we are on a plane that they have no staircase to -
That still boggles my mind!
There are exercises to further enhance our gifts...
