ENFP:
People of this type tend to be: enthusiastic, talkative, and outgoing; clever, curious, and playful; deeply caring, sensitive, and gentle; highly innovative, creative, optimistic, and unique; adaptable and resourceful but sometimes disorganized.The most important thing to ENFPs is freedom to see possibilities, make connections, and be with a variety of people.
That sounds about right. Just about perfectly right. The careers that the test tells me I would like are pretty much spot on to what I think I would like:
- Journalist/magazine reporter
- Graphic Designer (uh oh... sounds familiar don't it?)
- Art Director
- Copywriter
- Psychologist
- Inventor (yeah.. that's right. Gonna invent me a diaper for rabbits pretty soon)
- Human Resources Professional (I don't know what this is and Monster isn't about to tell me)
In addition to Monster's list, Personalitytype.com also tells me I would like being a/an:
- Child welfare counselor
Beyond that, the lists are identical. I'm not sure if they just copy and pasted the list from each other or if it's just a crazy coincidence. On a related note there are two other links from the ENFP description that caught my eye.
The first was "How to Love an ENFP" which was amusing. It's vaguely right. I do like harmony, and I like being encouraged to do stuff, but that's all pretty basic I think.
Anyway, the second list was "How to Communicate with ENFP's".
This list says that ENFP's are easy to spot because they are:
- High energy, friendly, and good natured.
- Imaginative, fun loving, and off beat
- Curious; discussions shift quickly from one topic to another
- Warm, concerned, and eager to help solve problems
Also, the tips for actually communicating with my crazy species are pretty great:
- Focus on interesting and innovative possibilities and new ways of solving problems
- Don't overwhelm them with facts and details
- Keep things relaxed, warm and flexible
All in all I'm a little unnerved that everything I thought consisted of what made me a little unique could so easily be put into a few words from a four question personality quiz. As much as I hate to admit it, these are all pretty true. Just talk to me for ten minutes and see how long I stay on-topic... that should show you how right this whole doodle was.
