Personality type - ENFP...The Scientologist lol

Ok back to Myers Briggs, next up is the ENFP, which happens to be my personality type (although I do fluctuate with INFP). Also it's shared with our blogging friend ForStaar, so this is for you bro.

By the way - go check out his blog it's awesome!

Right just to recap, below is a link to the test:-

The ones that are stuck through have already been covered.
ENFP 
(extroversion, intuition, feeling, perception...the Scientologist)
ENFPs are initiators of change, keenly perceptive of possibilities. They energize and stimulate others through their contagious enthusiasm. They prefer the start-up phase of a project or relationship, and are tireless in the pursuit of new-found interests. ENFPs are able to anticipate the needs of others and to offer them needed help and appreciation. They bring zest, joy, liveliness, and fun to all aspects of their lives. They are at their best in fluid situations that allow them to express their creativity and use their charisma. They tend to idealize people, and can be disappointed when reality fails to fulfill their expectations. They are easily frustrated if a project requires a great deal of follow-up or attention to detail.

In Relationships
ENFPs take their relationships very seriously, but also approach them with a childlike enthusiasm and energy. They seek and demand authenticity and depth in their personal relationships, and will put forth a lot of effort into making things work out. They are warm, considerate, affirming, nurturing, and highly invested in the health of the relationship. They have excellent interpersonal skills, and are able to inspire and motivate others to be the best that they can be. Energetic and effervescent, the ENFP is sometimes smothering in their enthusiasm, but are generally highly valued for their genuine warmth and high ideals.

Ten Rules to Live By to Achieve ENFP Success
  1. Feed Your Strengths! Make sure you have opportunities to have new experiences to feel your quest of understanding the world.
  2. Face Your Weaknesses! Realize and accept that some traits are strengths and some are weaknesses. By facing your weaknesses, you can overcome them and they will have less power over you.
  3. Express Your Feelings. Don’t let anger get bottled up inside you. If you have strong feelings, sort them out and express them, or they may become destructive
  4. Make Decisions. Don't be afraid to have an opinion. You need to know how you feel about things in order to be effective.
  5. Smile at Criticism. Try to see disagreement and discord as an opportunity for growth, because that’s exactly what it is. Try not to become overly defensive towards criticism; try to hear it and judge it objectively.
  6. Be Aware of Others. Remember that there are 15 other personality types out there who see things differently than you see them. Most of your problems with other people are easier to deal with if you try to understand the other person's perspective.
  7. Be Aware of Yourself. Don't stint your own needs for the sake of others too much. Realise you are an important focus. If you do not fulfill your own needs, how will continue to be effective and how will others know you are true to your beliefs
  8. Be Accountable for Yourself. Don’t waste mental energy finding blame in other’s behaviour, or in identifying yourself as a victim. You have more control over your life than any other person has.
  9. Assume the Best. Don't distress yourself by assuming the worst. Remember that a positive attitude creates positive situations.
  10. When in Doubt, Ask Questions! Don't assume that the lack of feedback is the same thing as negative feedback. If you need feedback and don't have any, ask for it. 
Peace

  4. Thanks for the mention broski!

    Didn't know I was predisposed towards scientological leanings. Maybe I'll end up like the creepy blond who improved her decision making abilities and runs her clothing business.
