According to my MBTI test result, I am an ENFP - Extraverted Intuition with Feeling (ENFP)
The test is very true. I feel the description exactly matches what I think I am. For example, ENFP s
See the need for and initiate change
Focus on possibilities, especially for people
Prefer to take charge of the start-up phase
Active, experimental and imaginative
May overlook relevant details and facts
May overextend and try to do too much
...
Update September 15, 2007
Here is the description of ENFP.
ENFP s are typically enthusiastic innovators, always seeing new possibilities and new ways of doing things.Ha Ha. It is me. I like mashup and I like new things. That is true.
They have a lot of imagination and initiative for starting projects.This may be problematic for people working with me because the speed of starting new projects may be too quick and new projects are endless until the team is fully burned out.
ENFP s’ energy comes from what is new and different, and they are spontaneous and enjoy action. They can become so interested in their current projects that they drop other things that are less exciting.Because they see so many possibilities, ENFP s sometimes have difficulty picking those with the greatest potential. They dislike routine and find it hard to apply themselves to the sometimes necessary details involved in finishing projects, easily becoming bored.That explain the reason I like travel so much and quickly bored. I can start something quickly but, as the analysis reports, fail to pay attention attention to details involved in finishing a project. Wendy is just the opposite site of me - she is so patient and long-lasting for anything she started doing.
They are concerned about people and understand others’ needs and aspirations. ENFPs readily communicate their enthusiasm, and this can be infectious. They often inspire others as well.This is the reason I care about people more than the result. Good manager, but maybe not tough enough to fight in this market.
ENFP s are likely to be most satisfied in a work environment that is welcoming to people, innovative, and full of exciting new possibilities. Others can count on them to find new ways of helping people solve problems and overcome barriers.A stable business is not that interesting for me, even though it is climbing so quickly. New things are the source of my energy. I agree. It sounds I am a child-like mood - like new toys, and quickly bored and interested in another one.

Thanks for sharing! Did the profile help explain what people you get along with and which ones you don't? And also what people have complementary strengths to yours?
I am an INTP. Anyone else know their MBTI profile?

Posted by: jack (external link) on November 10, 2006 10:00 PMI too am a EnFp. When you go to a job interview, having this knowledge is helpful. Knowing the interviewers type will win you major points as you will know how to respond to their questions.
By the way....
Great EnFp's

Guys, and ladies,
I am also an ENFP. Big time. Super-strong P side especially (97%): no schedule, no planning except some 差不多 things-to-do-list somewhere, start working on assignments at the last minute or even later, and if I don't make it to the deadline (which happens), I surely can explain and talk my way out, haha!
Can add:
- in a conflict situation (argh! I hate that), I support the one I love, no matter he/she is "right" or "wrong". Helps me gain friends and make enemies I do not care about.
- easy-going, but if someone breaks one of my core values (like: freedom), watch out...
- life's fun. And if it's not, let's make it fun. Anyway there's fun in everything, including presenting a 2007 budget drafted in 17 minutes to bored politicians.
- I never judge people so please, don't judge me...

Hey peepz,
Like you, I'm an ENFP. Found out some interesting info, possibly nice for you to know: only 3% of all people is ENFP. How great is that??
Cheers from Holland
@Weebee, really? I didn't know about 3% thing about ENFP.
