The
ENFJ is one of the types most attuned to people and groups. As
moderators, facilitators, and trainers, the ENFJ has a finely tuned
"sixth sense" of the motivations and concerns of a group. They have the
ability to form the group into a working unit in any type of setting.
The group may begin as hostile and dysfunctional, yet the ENFJ quickly
uses their sense of empathy to work with them on their emotional needs
and concerns.
People tend naturally to trust ENFJs as being the people to gather and
interpret the
thoughts and ideas of the group in such a way that everyone’s
contribution will be recognized.
Oprah
Winfrey,
ENFJ
television talk show host, publisher and philanthropist, may be one of
the most famous ENFJs in the world. Her ability to facilitate a
large audience and connect with guests and a vast television audience
has made her one of the most well-liked and respected people in America.
Sean
Connery,
world
famous Scottish actor, displays the ENFJ strength of life-long
learning and reinvention. He quit school at 15, was
a body builder and then the most famous James Bond. In his
mid-seventies he is still considered to be one of the most sexy
men. Because they value harmony, they can believe situations and people to be better than they are and can be taken advantage of by people who do not deserve their trust. Once the ENFJ sees that trust is broken, however, it can be difficult to gain it back. The ENFJ may tend to see the person not only as someone who has wronged them, but someone who is flawed. ENFJs can make extraordinary spouses, friends, and life partners. They nourish and support their children and will always create an enriching environment for those around them. |

To others
it's the face in a crowd. To you it's your boss, your colleague,
your direct report, your mother, brother, or significant other.
It's your child. It's the person who needs to sign off on your

ENFJs as Team Members
They can see a messy conflict
as demoralizing and unnecessary. They may want to use their skills to
create harmony where conflict is legitimate. ENFJs, when they value
relationships in a group, can project on a situation that it is better
than it really is when
others might see deep issues. They often see the analysis of a
legitimate problem as a sign of too much negativity.
They can be "thin-skinned" and can feel attacked by the bluntness of
others.
