Overview:
ENFJ is one of the results of the MBTI career personality test. ENFJ stands for: Extroversion (E) + Intuition (N) + Feeling (F) + Judgment (J). ENFJ refers to suppliers. Supply is the act of providing other people with daily necessities. Suppliers are naturally keen to serve others and ensure that they have a sense of material sufficiency and a sense of belonging to the group. They consciously assume the responsibility of taking care of the people around them and arranging their welfare. They are also the most sociable people among idealists. Wherever you go, you will assume the role of a contributor to society, happily dedicating your time and energy to ensure that the needs of others are met, traditions are maintained and developed, and that your social responsibilities are fulfilled satisfactorily.
Type Analysis:
Because of their kind or gentle nature, they prefer the role of custodians, and, being outgoing and personable, they seem to enjoy being providers rather than protectors. They make up 2–5% of the population, which is something to be thankful for because cooperation and social convenience are key to the fabric of their humanity. They excel at working collaboratively with their assistants and are tirelessly concerned with the details of arranging all goods and services.
These expressive keepers, personable and talkative, can become uneasy in isolation. Even among a group of strangers, they can start a conversation and have a pleasant conversation. They show a keen interest in small talk, down to the smallest details. They are more accustomed to thinking about visible things rather than fictional things, and they easily realize and discuss the big or difficult things in people’s lives. They cannot master abstract topics, but they tend to listen to recognized authorities and talk about theories about abstract things, and often rely on officially recognized opinions as the standards and basis for their judgment of things.
Social traditions hold great significance for the providers, and their conversations often drift into nostalgic accounts of experiences in the good old days, but at the same time, as providers express predictions of gloom and doom, they appear to have an infectious Tragic tendencies, thereby putting undue pressure on others. They need to control their fear of the thought that the worst is bound to happen.
Providers are hypersensitive and are more than willing to express this emotional response. They can quickly express their likes or dislikes and put the people they care about in a prominent position; they rarely mention the people they don’t like. They are always concerned about superficial appearances and take other people’s opinions regarding their personal commitments very seriously. Personal criticism will overwhelm them, and only when they and their services are recognized will they be able to carry out their duties effectively. They want to be needed and spend time and energy proving they are trustworthy. They can become demoralized by unkind treatment and become accustomed to taking responsibility for any possible mistakes in their systems or relationships.
When choosing a career, suppliers may prefer service industries. When dealing with sales, suppliers demonstrate that by personalizing the sale, they are clearly and honestly concerned about the customer’s welfare, so that the customer not only buys from them but also purchases personal welfare. Their character prompts them to excel in jobs involving many people, and they rarely arouse the wrath of leaders because they are duty- and service-oriented, respecting and obeying rules and regulations. Be loyal to your boss and make an effective personal secretary and office receptionist.
Type description:
For ENFJs, the most important thing is relationships and opportunities to connect with others. ENFJ people have strong leadership qualities and an extraordinary ability to manipulate others. This ability mainly comes from their excellent interpersonal skills and sales talents. ENFJ people believe deeply in their dreams and see themselves as rescuers and capable people, which they often are.
ENFJs are all-round learners, they have a broad vision and a broad mind. Some people can work on an amazing array of projects simultaneously and quickly. Many ENFJs have strong entrepreneurial abilities.
When describing ENFJ people, we always think of organizational skills and decision-making abilities. But they are not like SJ or NTJ people who can organize the environment or unexpected difficulties. They can better organize various events in interpersonal communication. Their offices may be clean or cluttered, but they can sum up (by feeling) people’s motivations faster and more flexibly than JFPs.
ENFJs understand and appreciate others. Like most NF types, they neglect themselves and their own needs and become very focused on the needs of others. They have fewer psychological defenses than others, so when interacting with people who are insensitive, they are often in danger of being wronged or even scolded. Therefore, ENFJ people are under greater pressure than others.
Friendly and sincere; friendly and tactful in conversation; emotionally involved, easily hurt; creative; decisive, even arbitrary; strong ability, strong sense of responsibility, and well-planned.
Type Features:
ENFJs love humanity. They value people and relationships more than anything else. And they naturally care about others. They love life and feel that they are closely related to everything.
Because they are idealists and value their own values, ENFJs are very loyal to the people, causes, and workplaces they respect and admire. They have energy and enthusiasm as well as a sense of responsibility, as well as caution and perseverance.
ENFJs have a natural tendency to be self-critical. However, because they consider themselves responsible for the emotions of others, ENFJs rarely criticize others in public. They understand what is (or is not) appreciated behavior, and they are gracious, charming, personable, and respectful of others. Very good at social relations. ENFJ-type people have a peaceful temperament, are broad-minded, and are very tactful, and they are good at promoting harmony in surrounding relationships. They are natural leaders, popular and have charisma. They are sociable and often use their gift of eloquence.
ENFJs make decisions based only on their feelings about a problem, rather than on facts. They are very interested in possibilities beyond reality and the impact of these possibilities on others.
With a natural sense of order, ENFJs like an organized world and expect the same from others. They like to get things done, even if someone else is making the decisions sometimes.
ENFJ-type people are compassionate and able to understand, support, and help others. They know how to look at people and are responsible and serious. Because they are idealists, they always see the good side of others.
Blind Spot:
ENFJs are so serious and emotional that they sometimes become overly involved in other people’s problems or emotions. Sometimes they choose careers that are not worth their time and energy. When things don’t work out as planned, they feel lost, disappointed, or hopeless. This can set them back and make them feel unappreciated. ENFJs need to learn to accept the limits of their own abilities and those of those they care about. They also need to learn to “challenge the battlefield” and maintain realistic expectations.
Because of their strong need for harmony, ENFJs can ignore their own needs and ignore practical problems. Because they avoid conflict, they sometimes maintain relationships that are less than honest and fair. ENFJs are so concerned with the emotions of others that they ignore important facts that may be critical and emotionally hurtful. It is also important for ENFJ people to learn to accept and deal with conflicts, because this is also an integral part of interpersonal relationships.
Because they are very enthusiastic and eager to take on new challenges, ENFJs sometimes make wrong assumptions or make decisions too hastily before they have gathered all the important information. They need to slow down and pay attention to the details of their plans. Waiting until you have enough information before taking action can save you from making many mistakes.
People of the ENFJ type are too emotionally attached to the practical consequences of their actions. Trying to pay attention to the facts, rather than just the person, will help them make more informed decisions.
ENFJs love to receive praise, but are very vulnerable to criticism, and they can get very irritable about it. They have difficulty accepting both harmless and well-intentioned criticism, and they often respond by being flustered, sad, or angry. Their behavior will become very irrational, even to the point of complete irrationality. ENFJs should stop, take a step back, and look at the situation objectively before taking action. Trying to be less sensitive can allow an ENFJ to gain a lot of important and useful information from positive criticism.
ENFJ people are very idealistic and always think the world is how they imagine or hope it will be. They believe in ideal relationships and are blind to facts that contradict their beliefs. ENFJs who fail to learn to face reality will end up ignoring the problem rather than finding ways to solve it. In short, ENFJ type people need to be more discerning.

Possible Pitfalls:
Don’t base your decisions on subjective emotions; use objective analysis to help you see the logical consequences of your possible actions. Remember: cause and effect don’t come naturally to you, so seek help from friends who can. Don’t give up on a choice just because you hate someone in the company, and don’t completely approve of a job or a company because of some positive factors.
Don’t take criticism and rejection personally; accept constructive criticism and feedback as it is. Relying on your friends for support and encouragement will help ease the occasional discouragement during the stressful job search process.

Think of it as a challenge to your ability to adapt to changes and an obstacle that you have to overcome.

Don’t get so focused on making new friends that you neglect the tedious parts of your job search. Don’t believe what others say.

Take a realistic look at the jobs you might be in and the people you interact with; see their reality and see their weaknesses. Consciously avoid idealizing people or showing your absolute loyalty to others. Dare to face up to contradictions and misunderstandings quickly and directly, and do not run away from them, but we must also prevent them from amplifying and complicating them.
Don’t make a hasty decision; doing plenty of research will make you think twice before you act. Before responding to any job offer, be sure to allow enough time to think things through to make sure it’s really the right job for you. Don’t have the mentality that everything will be done in a hurry and everything will be fine, otherwise you may miss out on what is coming, or the job you accept may not be what you want.

in love:
One thing that often pops up in your mind is: relationships. Creating and maintaining a meaningful and beautiful relationship is the source of happiness in your life. Whether you are dealing with business people, friends, family, or lovers, you value developing a quality relationship and making sure it continues to grow. When you are in love, as an extroverted feeling person, you must like to communicate with your close partner, express feelings of love and tenderness with words, and at the same time discover what your partner really cares about. Most Educators enjoy spending time with their partner; they can hardly tolerate their absence. Although you may have many friends, you want to include your significant other in your social circle as much as possible.
Crisis: Your 100% emotional investment in your lover may leave you feeling overloaded - so busy tending to your lover’s needs that you lack the energy to take care of yourself. You may tend to take things too personally, so you feel hurt when your partner says something that sounds critical but isn’t. For example, if your partner just wants to tell you that you are beautiful, you may feel sad and mistakenly think that it is a sarcastic punch, because he was indifferent just now and you now feel that he is being indifferent. Making intentional comments about your appearance just to please you. If that’s the case, now’s when the dispute really begins.
Still, at the beginning of a relationship, your lover can do no wrong. Although you have keen insight in many areas, when it comes to love, you will still fall in love with an ideal concept of ‘what you think a relationship should be like’, even though the real appearance may be very different from the imagined one. difference. As the relationship slowly progresses, you will begin to expect the other person to give unconditionally and treat you with equal loyalty and unswerving love. If you feel that the other person is not giving you the same standard of care and support, you will communicate this in a very direct and sometimes unpleasant way.
Best relationship types: If you are a female Educator, you will have a wonderful relationship with a male Educator, or the opposite male Adventurer (ISTP). With him, you may enjoy real excitement (water rafting, rock climbing, drag racing or bungee jumping for beginners), and at the same time, you will experience the most enjoyable life ever. If you are a male educator, you may get along well with a female educator, journalist (ENFP), or philosopher (INFP). You can also have successful relationships with your opposite, the Adventurer type (ISTP). The down-to-earth and pragmatic nature of the Adventurer will keep you from losing touch with real life. At the same time, her relaxed and casual personality can calm your emotions when you are troubled by those ‘interpersonal problems’.
If your ideal lover is an educator, you can find educator types in leadership positions in business, education, and government agencies. They have very good social skills and are very approachable. Don’t make your educator lover jealous. It is true that some educator lovers are very possessive and easily jealous. To avoid problems, avoid paying too much attention to other attractive people when you date an Educator. Although Educators are confident in many areas, they can feel insecure in romantic relationships. They want unfailing assurance, both in word and deed, so show that you care. Give Educators the attention and verbal affection they crave, and they will reward you with generous warmth and affection, making you feel as if you are the most loved person in the world.
Educators love passionately and are not shy about telling their partners how they feel. Therefore, Educators will naturally express their hurt or angry feelings when they feel their feelings are threatened by their partner’s words or actions. Also, because of their emotional reactions, Educators take conflict and rejection very seriously, whether that’s true or they just think so. As a result, they are easily hurt and hold grudges for a long time. On the positive side, Educators believe in marriage and make loving and giving spouses. At the same time, they are also very charming and a pleasure to be with. Not only that, Educators can often inspire their partners and lead them to the pinnacle of love and happiness. When you meet the right educator lover, you will be immersed in the blissful feeling of being loved, pleased, supported, and cared for.
