###ENFP Growth and Development To reach their full potential, ENFPs should: Accept the fact that if it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck… ENFPs are intuitive and have a keen eye for detail. However, they make a mistake when they insist on looking everywhere for hidden motives or secret agendas. In normal social encounters, ENFPs should make a real effort to give everyone the benefit of the doubt and take words and actions at face value. Assuming the worst can be a self-fulfilling prophecy, as people will eventually sense the ENFP’s distrust and reciprocate in kind. **Slow down your pace. ** This is very important in social situations. When ENFPs want to show off a little more charm, or be more intense in their speaking style, they would be wise to resist these urges. Smiling, nodding, and listening are excellent communication tools. Interestingly, because they are so verbal, in most situations ENFPs actually need fewer people to express their opinions or build strong relationships. **Don’t shy away from the “dirty” work. ** ENFPs don’t always see projects through to the end, preferring to jump from one endeavor to another like a hungry hummingbird flitting through a succulent flower bush. Therefore, every once in a while, as a change of pace, the ENFP should emphasize maintaining tight control throughout the process. Detailed work and project management don’t always come naturally to ENFPs. But they have the insight and knack to take care of all the little things, if they just decide to put their nose to the grindstone and stick with it until the process is complete. **See inside for verification. ** ENFPs love compliments and work very hard to please others, which has a subtle, but not entirely positive, effect on their behavior. When ENFPs focus too much on the opinions of others, it prevents them from following their intuition and leaves them vulnerable to manipulation. “If being true to myself gets me into trouble, so be it” – this is what ENFPs should tell themselves when they start worrying too much about what others think. **Find good partners. ** Because they are somewhat lax about details, ENFPs need assistants and colleagues to handle responsibilities they tend to overlook. ENFPs enjoy teamwork, so forming a relationship or partnership with someone with complementary skills shouldn’t be an easy task. In their personal lives, ENFPs can also benefit from connecting with people who are good at aspects of life that they have neglected.
