Curious, creative, imaginative

Energetic, enthusiastic, spontaneous

Very perceptive of the people and the world around them

Appreciate being affirmed by others and easily give appreciation and support

Value harmony and goodwill

Base decisions on their personal values and empathy

Some of these descriptors may not fit you because you are a unique person. Although most ENFPs have personality
attributes in common, there are still plenty of individual differences among people who share the same four-letter type.

Your MBTI responses also provide a picture of how clearly or consistently you chose your preference in each pair of
opposites. This preference clarity index (pci) is indicated in the graph below. A longer line suggests that you are quite sure
about a preference; a shorter line means that you are less sure about whether that preference truly describes you. Your
preference clarity does not indicate how well developed your preferences are or how well you use them.

Each of the Myers-Briggs types is characterized by its own interests, values, and unique gifts. Although each individual
tends to use his or her preferences most naturally and most often, keep in mind that everyone can and does use all of the
preferences from time to time, depending on what the situation calls for. For a more complete understanding of the 16
different personality types, refer to the Introduction to Myers-Briggs® Type booklet by Isabel Briggs Myers or to the many
other MBTI resources that are available.

Characteristics of ENFPs
• ENFPs love variety—of ideas, people, and environments.

• They bring a lot of energy and enthusiasm to whatever they turn their attention
to.

• They are stimulated by new people, ideas, and experiences.

• ENFPs see connections or relationships between ideas or events.

• They make their decisions based on their personal values.

ENFPs with Others


• ENFPs are skillful in dealing with people and often have remarkable insight into
the possibilities open to others.

• They look for the potential in others and then help them develop that potential.

• They are good at expressing appreciation and giving support.

• ENFPs enjoy meeting people from different cultures.

• They value harmony and goodwill; they like to please others and will adapt to
others’ needs and wishes when possible.

• They usually have a large circle of friends or acquaintances and sometimes don’t
distinguish between the two.

• ENFPs are extremely perceptive about the attitudes of others, aiming to


understand rather than judge people.
Jane Sample 3

ENFPs at Work
• ENFPs are always initiating new projects.

• They bring energy and enthusiasm to the group, team, or organization.

• They can become passionate champions of an idea or a vision.

• With talent, ENFPs can succeed in almost any field that captures their interest.

• They are drawn to counseling and other helping professions, as well as to art,
journalism, science, advertising, sales, the ministry, or writing.

• They can be inspired and inspiring teachers or trainers, particularly when they
have freedom to innovate.

• They are happiest and most effective in jobs that permit starting one project
after another, with someone else taking over as soon as the situation is well in
hand.

• They are least satisfied in jobs that require routine or in any environment that
limits their natural desire to innovate.

Potential Blind Spots for ENFPs


• If ENFPs have not developed their Intuition, they may rely too much on personal
value judgments and fail to take in enough information. They then will not
trust their own insights, will be uncertain, and may accept others’ opinions too
readily.

• If they have not developed their Feeling preference, they may go from one
enthusiasm to another without finishing anything.

• Also, they may have difficulty prioritizing their many possible projects, which can
lead to burnout as they try to do it all.

• They may also commit themselves to ill-chosen projects, fail to finish anything,
and squander their inspirations by not completing their tasks.

• They tend to hate uninspired routine and find it remarkably hard to apply
themselves to the sometimes necessary detail connected with any major
interest.

• They may get bored with their projects as soon as the main problems have been
solved or the initial challenge has been met and then not follow through.

What Are Preferences?


The MBTI assessment reports your preferences on four aspects of personality expressed as pairs of opposites.
Try this exercise to get a sense of what Jung and Myers meant by preferences.

First, sign your name below as you usually do. Now, sign your name again, but this time use
First, sign your name below as you usually do. your other hand.

What was it like writing your name the first time with your preferred hand? How does this compare to the second time?
Most people who try this immediately notice some major differences.

Preferred Hand Nonpreferred Hand

Feels natural Feels unnatural


Don’t have to think about it Have to concentrate
Seems effortless, easy Seems awkward, clumsy
Looks neat, legible, adult Looks childlike

This exercise demonstrates the idea of preferences in the MBTI assessment. You can use either one of your hands when
you have to, and you use both of them regularly. But when writing, you favor one of your hands over the other, and it
feels natural and competent. You can develop skill in writing with your opposite, nonpreferred hand, but imagine how
hard it would be if you had to write with it all day.

Similarly, you’re naturally inclined to favor one of the two opposites in each of the four preference pairs. You use both
opposites at different times, but not both at once and not with the same confidence. When you use your preferences,
you are generally at your best and feel most competent, natural, and energetic.

THE FOUR MYERS-BRIGGS ® PREFERENCE PAIRS

EXTRAVERSION or INTROVERSION Opposite ways to direct and receive energy

SENSING or INTUITION Opposite ways to take in information

THINKING or FEELING Opposite ways to decide and come to conclusions

JUDGING or PERCEIVING Opposite ways to approach the outside world

Your Myers-Briggs personality type represents your natural preferences in the four aspects of personality described,
which account for the natural differences between people. People tend to develop behaviors, skills, and attitudes
associated with their type, and individuals with types different from yours will likely be opposite to you in many ways.
There is no right or wrong to these preferences. Each identifies normal and valuable human behaviors, and each type
has its own potential strengths, as well as its likely blind spots.

What Is Your Type?


The first step in figuring out which Myers-Briggs type fits you best is to put together the preferences you chose as you
were listening to an explanation or reading about the preferences in this report.

The MBTI assessment uses letters to represent the preferences, so you can estimate your type by combining the letters
next to the preferences you highlighted. For example, suppose you highlighted the letters I, S, T, and J.

ISTJ = People who tend to…

Pay attention to and get energized by their inner world

Like information that is real and tangible

Use logical analysis in decision making

Like a structured and planned life

A person with opposite preferences on all four preference pairs would have highlighted the letters E, N, F, and P.

ENFP = People who tend to…

Pay attention to and get energized by the outside world of people and activity

Like to see patterns and connections, the big picture

Use personal and social values in decision making

Like a flexible, adaptable life

There are 16 possible combinations of the MBTI preferences, leading to 16 different personality types.

First hypothesis: Your self-estimate of type Second hypothesis: Your MBTI results report the
based on listening or reading: preferences you chose when you completed the
assessment. This is called your reported type.

Because a variety of influences, such as work responsibilities, family demands, and any number of other pressures, may
have affected the way you answered the MBTI questions, the results you received may not entirely fit you. If that is the
case, work with your Myers-Briggs practitioner, who can assist you in finding the type that fits you best.

Verifying Your Type


The MBTI assessment is one of the most reliable and valid personality tools available, but no assessment is perfect.
Because of this, it is important that you verify your “best-fit” type—the four-letter combination that best describes your
natural way of doing things. Your self-estimate and your reported type are considered hypotheses at this point—best
guesses about your personality type—and they may not agree. Although most people agree with their MBTI results, it is
not unusual for people’s self-estimated and reported types to differ on one or more of the preferences.

Your task now is to verify your “best-fit” type: the four-letter combination that best describes you. Read the Characteristics
Frequently Associated with Each Type on the next page to confirm your choice, then write the corresponding type code
in the space below.

Enhancing Your Decision-Making Capability

Understanding and applying personality type concepts can help you make better decisions. Sound decisions use both
kinds of perception—Sensing and Intuition—in order to gather all useful information and both kinds of judgment—
Thinking and Feeling—to ensure that all factors have been weighed. Because we naturally prefer one particular kind of
perception and one kind of judgment, we are likely to focus on our preferred ways and overlook the positive contributions
of our nonpreferred ways.

Isabel Briggs Myers believed that the best way to make a decision is to use all four of these preferences deliberately and in
a specific order. This decision-making sequence is shown below.

#
1 Use Sensing to define the problem

#
2 Use Intuition to consider all the possibilities

3 Use Thinking to weigh the consequences of each course of action


#

#
4 Use Feeling to weigh the alternatives

Your preferences are highlighted in the graphic. Follow the steps, noting the important questions to ask at each stage.
After completing the process, you should be able to make and act on a final decision. At an appropriate point after
implementation, be sure to evaluate the results by reviewing your consideration of the facts, possibilities, impacts, and
consequences.

SENSING to define the problem INTUITION to consider the possibilities

What are the facts? What other ways are there to look at this?
What have you or others done to resolve this or What do the data imply?
similar problems? What are the connections to larger issues or
What has worked or not worked? other people?
What resources do you have available? What theories address this kind of problem?

THINKING to weigh the consequences FEELING to weigh the alternatives

What are the pros and cons of each option? How does each alternative fit with my values?
What are the logical consequences of each? How will the people involved be affected?
What are the consequences of not deciding and How will each option contribute to harmony and
acting? positive interactions?
What impact would deciding on each option have How can I support people with this decision?
on other priorities?
Would this option apply equally and fairly to
everyone?

Your Conflict Style


Your MBTI results shed light on how you typically approach
and deal with conflict.
Incorporating type awareness and an understanding of your natural style
can help you be better prepared to more effectively and sensitively
approach, communicate during, and resolve conflict situations.

ESFP CONFLICT STYLE HIGHLIGHTS

ESFPs typically view conflict as a natural, albeit at times unwelcome, part of


life. It is important to them that everyone be listened to and included in the
exploration of conflict. While they naturally tend to find enjoyment wherever
they go, they can be drawn into conflict if a core value has been transgressed
or if it involves someone they care about.

Your Strengths in Managing Conflict


• Maintaining your joie de vivre in most situations

• Comfortably taking on the role of peacemaker, being lighthearted when appropriate and encouraging others to
overcome their differences

• Living in the present, which ensures that you pay attention to how people are doing at all times and allows you to
accept others, flaws and all

What You Need from Others


• Freedom to live life to the fullest; acceptance of your positive demeanor even when things look gloomy

• A safe environment in which people are not judged for what they might say and no one is overly aggressive

• Permission to bend (or, more likely, forgiveness for bending) the rules a little
PERSONAL IMPACT REPORT ANNE SAMPLE
MYERS-BRIGGS T YPE INDICATOR ® | STEP I ™ ESFP | 23

How Others Tend to See You


• Generally exuberant in how you lead your life and caring and understanding in your dealings with others

• At times impulsive and impatient, not planning ahead; this can lead to the perception that you shun difficult situations
for more exciting options

• When you are under stress: hyperactive, talking too much, and jumping from one thing to the next; blunt and
uncharacteristically allowing all options to be seen as negative

Suggestions for Developing Your Conflict Style


• Be careful when using humor, which others may regard as flippant and disrespectful

• Be wary of unintentionally aggravating the situation by jumping in hastily and then saying something
inappropriate

• Be prepared to sometimes take a stern stance to move things along

• Understand that your trial-and-error approach may be seen by some as a lack of preparation and by others as
an indication that they can easily outmaneuver you

Introduction
This report applies your results from the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator ® (MBTI®) assessment to help you
identify job families and occupations that are a good fit for your reported MBTI type. The MBTI tool
was developed by Isabel Briggs Myers and Katharine Briggs and is based on Carl Jung's theory of
psychological types. It has been used for more than 60 years to help people become more satisfied and
successful in their careers.

This Report Can Help You


· Identify job families, or broad occupational categories, to help get you started in your career search
· Choose a specific job or career
· Select a college major or course of study
· Identify strengths and potential weaknesses of your type for the career search process
· Increase your job satisfaction
· Make a career transition or shift
· Plan your career development strategy and action steps

The job families and specific occupations used in this report are adapted from the O*NET™ system of
occupational classification developed by the U.S. Department of Labor, which is the standard method
for classifying occupations. The relationship between the O*NET occupations and MBTI types has
been established using information from a database of more than 92,000 working adults who recently
took the MBTI assessment and reported that they were satisfied with their jobs.
This report is only one source of information. When choosing a career or contemplating a career
change, you must also consider your abilities and skills, your occupational and leisure interests, and your
values and goals. You will also need information about specific tasks involved in different occupations, as
well as current career opportunities. Additional career information can be found online at
http://online.onetcenter.org.

comfortable and satisfied in your day-to-day work because you will have opportunities to express your
natural preferences.

Preferred Work Tasks


· Helping others develop or learn

How Your Type Affects Your Career Exploration


How you go about exploring career options will be influenced by your ENFP preferences. Your type will
help you in your career exploration activities in distinct ways, just as it may present some distinct
challenges for you.

Your type will help you:


· Think of all the things you have ever wanted to do
· Be willing to consider almost any possibility
· Take advantage of unexpected opportunities
· Establish an extensive network of people you can contact
· Convey enthusiasm and energy to interviewers

Challenges Suggested Strategies


· You may have a hard time focusing amid all the · First group all your possibilities into three categories

them as much as possible throughout your career exploration process, especially when you are feeling anxious.
A Review the challenges (in the second chart on this page) related to your type. The strategies suggested for dealing
with these challenges require you to move beyond your natural comfort zone. So don't try to overcome all these
challenges at once. Pick one or two to start with and work at them until you feel more comfortable.
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® JANE SAMPLE / ENFP
Career Report Page 5

How Your Type Affects Your Career Development


Your career development process will be influenced by your ENFP preferences. Career development
almost always involves coping with new demands that do not come naturally to you and often requires
working and communicating with people with different preferences. At times, career change can be a
beneficial stimulus to further development of your type. Type development means knowing and
accepting your natural preferences and then consciously choosing to use nonpreferred preferences in
certain situations when appropriate. Listed below are some typical strengths of and challenges faced
by ENFPs, as well as some suggestions for development.

Your style has probably helped you develop strengths in:


· Identifying and pursuing multiple possibilities
· Brainstorming and creatively solving problems; developing new products or services
· Motivating others by bringing energy and enthusiasm to any task
· Communicating or selling ideas and possibilities to others
· Working closely with teams

Challenges Suggested Strategies


· You may have trouble determining priorities amid the · Reflect quietly on what is most important to you

the most impact?
· You may burn out from following every possibility and · Enroll in stress reduction or yoga classes with some

· Every time you take on a new project, ask yourself
what you will have to give up
· You may not follow though on decisions or projects · Ask yourself how you or others will feel if you don't
complete this task. Who might you be letting down?
· How will you feel if you develop a reputation as
someone who doesn't honor his or her commitments?

Action Steps
A Identify a career or job you are considering.
A Review the list of strengths and challenges above.
A Evaluate how much the job you have in mind will allow you to use your natural strengths and challenge you to use
other preferences. You will probably be most satisfied with a job that allows you to use your strengths most of the
time but also provides a manageable degree of challenge.

Job Families and Occupations for ENFPs


The next three pages of your Career Report present 22 broad occupational categories, or "job families,"
and a number of specific occupations and show how they rank in popularity among ENFPs. This
ranking is based on information from a sample of more than 92,000 people in 282 jobs who said they
were satisfied with their jobs. There were 8,305 ENFPs in this sample.
The chart on the next page shows the popularity of 22 job families among ENFPs divided into three
groups: those most attractive to ENFPs, those moderately attractive, and those least attractive. The
longer the bar on the chart, the more attractive the job family. Those job families listed as most
attractive to ENFPs offer the best opportunity for you to find an occupation in which you can use your
natural preferences and be satisfied. Those listed as moderately attractive are dependent on how well the
tasks and work environment for specific occupations fit with your preferences. Those least attractive are
associated with occupations in which you are least likely to express your preferences. These may require
you to work "against the grain" of your preferences.
When reviewing the chart, it is important not to overemphasize the differences between any two
adjacent categories. In your career exploration process, consider all the job families in the "most
attractive" section, especially if the bars in the graph are about the same length. You should also explore
job families in the "moderately" and "least" attractive sections if they appeal to you or you would like to
learn more about them.

Working with Your Job Families and Occupational Lists


· When comparing job families and the two occupational lists, it may not be entirely clear which occupations fit
within which job families. For example, does a particular health care occupation belong in Health Care Support or
in Health Care Practitioner and Technical? To help you see the relationship, a "Career Trends" summary is
provided with your most popular occupations list.
· If you would like more information about how job families and specific occupations are related, you can go online
to http://online.onetcenter.org and click on "Find Occupations." On the Find Occupations page, go to the pull-down
menu "By Job Family or All Occupations." When you select one of these categories, you will be provided with a list
of all specific occupations within that category, each of which is further explained.
· You may notice what appear to be differences between your general and specific lists. You may find a specific
occupation ranked higher or lower than you might predict based on the ranking of the corresponding job family.
This can occur because the number of specific occupations in an O*NET category ranges from 14 to 237! And not
all the specific occupations found on the O*NET database are used in your Career Report. Only those that had a
large enough sample of satisfied workers could be used. Think of the job families as an average. There will likely
be specific jobs that are a good fit for your particular preferences, even though the job family may not be all that
appealing to most ENFPs.

Tips for Succeeding in an "Atypical" Occupation


You should not automatically discount any occupation just because it is not popular among those of your type. In an
occupation that is atypical for people of your type, you may find that your different approach is valued and rewarded
and you are seen as an innovator or leader. You may very well succeed and be satisfied in such an occupation if you:
· Can use your preferences productively by creating a special role in which you do a certain set of tasks or by
finding a niche for yourself in a particular environment or with a select group of co-workers you enjoy working
with
· Work at understanding or communicating with others whose preferences are different from yours
· Find other opportunities, such as in your leisure activities, to express your preferences
