ENFP is one of the 16 Myers Briggs personality types. ENFP stands for Extraverted, Intuitive, feeling, Perceiving. ENFPs are creative extroverts who prefer flexibility and adaptability rather than adhere to strict plans and schemes.
They are part of the temperament group described as “The Idealists”. ENFPs comprise roughly 7% of the population which includes famous individuals such as Robert Downey Jr., Will Smith, Robin Williams, Russell Brand, Quentin tarantino, Kelly Clarkson, and Drew Barrymore.
ENFPs are some of the most original and creative types out there. They are warm, compassionate and humorous souls who want to bring more light to the world. Later in life, they can become like spiritual gurus who often encourage lost and demoralized souls and help them understand themselves better and recognize their own unique potential.
