THINKING STYLE:
Using their Intuition to look beyond the obvious, known facts in a given situation, ENFJs tend to focus on the fundamental principles and concepts underlying a given task or problem. Thus, they approach practical, real-world problems by first understanding the problem from a theoretical perspective. However, despite their creative, intellectual approach to problems, their preference for Feeling enables them to maintain a strong awareness of the interpersonal dimensions of the task at all times. Moreover, being attuned to the feelings of others, they will be sensitive to the impact their actions will have upon those around them, with their decisions taking into account the personal and emotional needs of their colleagues. Approaching tasks in a clear, orderly and methodical way, they will not lose sight of the detailed aspects of the task. Marshalling theoretical concepts in an orderly and methodical manner to support their arguments, they are ordered in their thinking.
HOW OTHERS MAY SEE YOU:
Known for their sound grasp of theoretical concepts and fundamental principles, colleagues will respect their ability to approach problems in a systematic, orderly manner. However, more down-to-earth colleagues, who are less interested in the subtle nuances of a problem, might on occasion worry that they may lose sight of practical, day-to-day realities. Perceptive, empathic, caring individuals, their colleagues will view them as thoughtful, considerate and understanding. However, if others spurn their genuine offers of help and support, they may feel hurt or rejected. Sensitive to others¹ needs, and preferring to manage by consensus, their egalitarian style may be misinterpreted by some as indicating an inability to take difficult, unpopular decisions. Well organised, dependable and reliable, they will be trusted to see tasks through to the end. Committed, co-operative and loyal, they will be popular team members who are keen to contribute to the team effort.
