ENFJs are known as some of the best communicators and often act as the 'mom' or counselor of their friend groups.
They are passionate about big social causes and often exhibit intense eye contact that feels like they are looking into your soul.
ENFJs are warm, inviting, and particularly good at making people feel safe and understood.

Myers-Briggs personality types originated from Carl Jung's work on cognitive functions in the early 1900s.
There are 8 cognitive functions which explain how people perceive the world and make decisions.
Myers and Briggs created codes (e.g., ENFJ, INFJ) based on these functions.

Extroverted Feeling (Fe) – First Function
- Focused on external feelings and group harmony.
- Often prioritizes external over internal feelings.
- Excellent at reading and responding to others' emotions.
- Great communicators and often act as counselors.
Introverted Intuition (Ni) – Second Function
- Focuses on trends and patterns internally.
- Helps in making deep, meaningful connections and predictions about the future.
- ENFJs should emphasize developing Ni for a balanced perspective.
Extroverted Sensing (Se) – Third Function
- Immersed in the present moment, focused on external sensory experiences.
- Can lead to overbooking and chaotic energy.
- Younger ENFJs might use this function in an immature way.
Introverted Thinking (Ti) – Fourth Function
- Used minimally, often only 2% of the time.
- Can help in conflict resolution and making well-reasoned arguments.
- ENFJs should aim to use Ti more often to balance out their cognitive functions.

ENFJs are so attuned to others' feelings that they may let toxic people into their lives.
Focus on long-term consequences and don't get stuck in the present moment.
Make sure to take care of oneself as much as others.

Balance extroverted and introverted activities; both are necessary for well-being.
Spend more time in internal reflection to develop clarity and wisdom.
Focus on individual needs and avoid overextending.

ENFJs are incredible communicators with a unique ability to connect deeply with others.
They should focus on integrating all cognitive functions for a balanced, fulfilling life.

ENFJs are exceptional people but should also focus on personal growth and self-care to reach their full potential.
