EXPLANATION BASED ON THE RESEARCH OF CARL JUNG, KATHARINE C.
BRIGGS AND ISABEL BRIGGS MYERS
As an ENFJ, you're primary mode of living is focused externally, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit into your personal value system. Your secondary mode is internal, where you take things in primarily via your intuition.
ENFP - THE INSPIRER (THE CHAMPION)
ENFPs are open-minded, imaginative, caring and outgoing. They thrive on the drama of life by observing everything enthusiastically and associating meaning and human motive with all they survey.
ENTJ - THE EXECUTIVE (THE FIELD MARSHALL)
Outgoing, logical and decisive, the ENTJ leads by providing conceptual structure and setting goals, rather than by detailing and enforcing procedures, codes and regulations.
ENTP - THE VISIONARY (THE INVENTOR)
Enthusiastic, outgoing, analytic idea people. ENTPs often are multitalented characters interested in nearly everything. Independent, non-conforming and sometimes a little rebellious and confrontational, this type may be an inspiration to others who will follow the ENTP guru into uncharted waters-- sometimes shark-infested! ESFJ - THE CAREGIVER (THE PROVIDER) ESFJs are outgoing, sociable, practical and organized. They pride themselves on their reflexive skills to harmonize, entertain and nurture others. Duty, personal service, manners and social order come second-nature to this type
ESFP - THE PERFORMER
The ESFP is warm, outgoing, optimistic and caring--a cheerful person who's always ready for a good time and avoids the company of dreary "doom and gloom" people who take themselves too seriously
ESTJ - THE GUARDIAN (THE SUPERVISOR)
Assertive, practical, rational, loyal, opinionated and decisive, the ESTJ is an organized, take-charge person who brings others into line by assigning tasks and roles, giving clear-cut instructions, following up regularly to check progress and giving formal recognition to those who do as they've been told.
ESTP - THE DOER (THE PROMOTER)
ESTPs are outgoing practical thinkers--masters of experience, observation and the analysis of cause-effect relationships, free from the biasing influence of theory, tradition or emotion.
INFJ - THE PROTECTOR (THE COUNSELOR)
INFJs are intuitive, caring, quiet and peace-loving: deep and complex people who may seem equally at home dealing with the personal and analytical spheres of life. The interior world of vision and ideas is this type's most comfortable domain, but some degree of human connection is essential for the INFJ's happiness; a potential conflict for this type.
INFP - THE IDEALIST (THE HEALER)
INFPs are quiet, creative, sensitive and perceptive souls who often strike others as shy, reserved and cool. These folks have a rare capacity for deep caring and commitment--both to the people and causes they idealize.
INTJ - THE SCIENTIST (THE MASTERMIND)
Independent, innovative, logical and driven by the inner world of ideas and possibilities, the INTJ often appears to others as a quietly self-confident (and sometimes stubborn) critic of the status quo, convinced that reality can be altered, the future reshaped. INTP - THE THINKER (THE ARCHITECT) Private, intellectual, impersonal, analytical and reflective, the INTP appears to value ideas, principles and abstract thinking above all else.
ISFJ - THE NURTURER (THE PROTECTOR)
ISFJs are private, faithful, sensible and sensitive. Shy, modest and unassuming, this type needs to support and minister to others in order to feel useful. Others count on the ISFJ's steadfast caring and help--so much so that they may become irresponsibly dependent on this type's support.
ISFP - THE ARTIST (THE COMPOSER)
ISFPs are quiet, practical, sensitive and spontaneous. Somewhat shy and retiring, folks of this type are drawn to a complex array of occupations which offer some measure of solitude and also allow them to keep a finger on the pulse of life.
ISTJ - THE DUTY FULFILLER (THE INSPECTOR)
ISTJs are quiet, serious, responsible, sensible, patient, conservative, loyal and steadfast-maintainers of society's time-honored traditions and institutions.
ISTP - THE MECHANIC (THE OPERATOR)
ISTPs are factual, sensible, logical and reflective. They enjoy activity, independence and solitude and may work happily and productively for 20 hours at a stretch.
