ENFJ

Compassionate facilitator

ENFJ personality types are caring, inspiring, motivational, and empathetic. ENFJs are able to get the most out of teams by working closely with them, and make decisions that respect and take into account the values of others. They tend to be adept at building consensus and inspiring others as leaders.

People with ENFJ preferences often talk a lot, and may become discouraged if they do not receive a lot of feedback from others. They expect everyone to give as much to the task as they do, and can find conflict and lack of consensus difficult to deal with. They may overlook logical, factual realities when making decisions.

ENFJs tend to focus on encouraging the growth of others around them and they quickly understand their emotional needs.
