As an ENFP, this made me so emotional and i felt so understood and seen watching this. Ive watched this a few times already but its so hard navigating the world when there arent as many people who process information the way we do but I appreciate this video so much!!! Thank you A.K!
You got to admit though, that ENFPs' attention span is as adorable as a 6 month old golden retriever puppy (better metaphor...puppies are happy, outgoing, a lil mischievous - getting into innocent trouble when no ones looking...loves jumping excitingly on people, licking their faces while wagging their tails). But seriously...living in the present moments is a "huge relief " for an INFJ's mind that mostly thinks either in the past decoding people's intentions or in the future, planning stuff. Why we love the ENFPs and ENTPs being in the present time frame...being around them is like drinking from a cool refreshing running spring for an INFJ...and ENTP's keeps us sharp as a whip, too.
Being like me is like having a fire hose on my head constantly blasting thoughts, ideas, potential futures and possibilities. It's honestly exhausting. Don't forget, unlike ENTP's we get to feel butt-hurt about it all lol
The part "world is lucky to have ENFPs" & "Their message bring people to tears" made me emotional. You're spot on - every ENFP needs to calm down a little and think 'Am I healthy, happy first of all' which is extremely important to oneself if you ought to help others. I've been feeling so low with past 1.5-2 years during the pandemic - lost people interaction, miss going out with friends. While I was thinking I'm in a dark place, I did find a good take away on how to develop your introverted sensing while you're alone and keep a positive frame of mind. Thank you! :)
ENFP here! INTJs are one of my favorites & many other ENFPs love INTJs too! INTJs bring such great insight in what works in the world. They are like wise lovable eagles seeing the world from a bird's eye view. INTJ insight is mind blowing. Love how authentic & open minded INTJs are too. Much INTJ love!!!!
What a sweet comment you made - I looked up your profile pic here on yt which is something I seldom do and let me tell you somethin'. You are SHINING light and intelligence. Just so you know. 🤗 Your fellow ENFP
I really appreciated how you explained how ENFPs can bring value to the world. I’m one and I’ve always struggled to understand how my empathy, creativity, and feeling led nature could ever bring any change.
This video was one of the most incredible one's in this area of explaining the types. First I thought just like another similar video on youtube. But after a few seconds, I saw what treasure it is. Thank you a lot. Would be really helpful if you make another video for ENFPs (Actually, Long videos are fine, too :) )
Please please PLEASE keep making content- I am an ENFP married to an ESTP (crazy match geeeeeze) and both your videos on these types were spot on and amazing. I have probably watched every video out there on both types at this point and still found a lot to take away from your content- awesome stuff
ENFP, who has an ISTJ partener! Whew..... But the best part is I'm steered back in when I'm off track. Especially since, ENFPs tend to be explorative, finding new possibilities, passionate, flying high and conquering the world types :)
Dear lord, you don't know how much I'm in need to hear this, it can be hard, you listen to others and try to make everyone their best, forgetting about yourself, going on and on, seeing yourself struggling to go on to help while getting worse, sometimes a reminder of what we can do is the best way to make us happy, hahaa, I'd really love to give ya an hug, probably not the only one, anyway great job, you're doing beautiful videos about great subjects
I always like to tell myself that Ne is like a spaceship that lets me go anywhere, but Si is the landing platform and fueling station. Do I actually remember this and live by it daily? Nah….but it’s what I tell other Ne doms!
You explain things very clearly, I was afraid to start learning about cognitive functions because I thought it would be very complicated but the way you explain it is just very smooth and makes a lot of sense. So thank you ! :)
Literally one of the dopest well balanced videos I’ve seen on ENFP’s, the clarity of your explanations were top notch, I usually get mad confused with all the letters (functions) I was very encouraged watching this and I’m inspired to make some changes especially in the area of sleep it bad lol. Thank you keep up the great work!! -ENFP
I do like a lot of what she is saying here. It definitely hits home. As an enfp, to my enfp’s, if you struggle with schedules, time blindness and impulsivity in emotions, get checked for adhd. Medication can help you do things like be one time after you tried really hard and then someone distracted you in the hallway before the meeting.
7:40 We test ideas in the moment, we are exploring truth distilling it to a fundamental new essence we have come in contact with. Only when we are done do we concretize this exploration. During this process we do not ourselves believe everything we say as we explore. Sometimes this exploration takes a long time. We are trying on truth to see if it fits. Only when it fits do we make a purchase at The Objective Reality Boutique.
Loved this video! I think you did really well breaking down the cognitive functions and strengths and weaknesses of ENFPs, and I also really appreciated the breakdown of functions and how they work with one another. Your explanations were clear, concise, and super straightforward!!! LOVEEE :)
The curse I have found being an ENFP is that people I get close to "become alive" from my energy, they evolve and leave. I assume everyone is going to leave. I've just accepted that is how things are. Sometimes they come back once they realize that I was a light and maybe they didn't fully develop it themselves. I want to help people evolve, so, I don't know if that is a win if they come back. I skipped through the video, so idk if INTJs were mentioned. My best friend is an INTJ. We just started talking again after time apart. The world can rest now.
Hey Alexis, just want to thank you so much for this video. I really like how you walked through all the cognitive functions and shared what you love about ENFPs and what we can grow in. Your laid back approach is super warm and inviting and made the harder advice to hear less triggering and easier to say yes to, even if I don't want to do it. (Why are routines SO HARD to keep?! AHHH!!!) Honestly surprised your videos are not some of the first to come up on the search bar because they are so good! Anyway, keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing and hearing more from you!
Wow. I finished the video now and I want to thank you from the bottom of my ENFP heart. I felt really seen and valued as ME, which is so important to feel and so rare to get as an ENFP, because many people don´t get us this well. This really spoke to my heart, I know this is me. It´s great to get an "outsider" perspective to ENFP, from a very intelligent person who also knows many ENFP:s in real life. I´ve read and listened to a lot of info about MBTI and ENFP:s during the last two years, and this is one of the best if not the best video so far. I´m so happy that you didn´t go to all the stereotypes of the ENFP:s as these funny scattered-brain puppies, maybe that´s the way we seem to be for people who are shallow or who don´t know us at all, but it´s so annoying and it's surpassing what we really are. We really are bringing great value to this world. But it has been a long and difficult road to get to understand that and start to believe in myself (as I believe in others). This video took me one step closer to seeing and appreciating myself. Happy holidays and blessings to you!
I’m ENFP follower of Jesus, you are quite insightful and clear. I really appreciate your ability to take patterns and articulate them in a distilled conceptual reality. Bravo! Brilliant! Full of light and energy! Beyond your years. I’m 61.
You do an excellent job breaking things down. In your other video you said you aren't sure if intp will think your being clear enough. But this intp thinks this is the best channel helping people with myers briggs, and I look at a LOT of channels. Good job. I sent this to my enfp best friend and she thinks it crazy how accurate you are about her. Lol
@@spacebar9733 older doesn't mean it's legit.Many of the superstitions are very old.People way back then had no idea how the things worked so they tried to make things up to explain things. Can't you see how stupid it is to think the stars systems influence each of us differently?
I've only gone and made notes lol, so nice to not only have hot air blowing my head up. I liked how you kept it really real with us. Ordered a meditation journal, so thank you for this! Really profound stuff in this video
this video made me feel so much better cus i just went on a doom scroll with people listing why they hate enfps with some of my biggest fears of becoming being top reasons 😭 (ex: like selfish, controlling, and manipulative) IVE LITERALLY BEEN SETTING HERE CRYING OVER IT
"ENFP:s need a meditation rutine, a reading routine, a writing routine..." yes that would be great but do you realise how many routines that already is?! I have a meditation routine but the other two I just can't keep up a routine with, because routines are HARD for me and I also need to keep up a routine with eating, sleeping, washing my teeth & face, cleaning, cooking... it's just so many routines to keep up. I feel like routines are very important to keep me healthy, but I don't have a natural muscle for them, so keeping them up is always a bit of a struggle and takes a very long time to get to a point where it happens with little effort. All these routines are already taking up my energy, I don't know if there is any way to make it easier. Anyway, thanks for your videos, I just found them! (And should be sleeping already) - ENFP
My goodness! THIS! Your comment so clearly reflects how I often feel that I read it in my own voice... as in, I could almost audibly hear myself sharing this out loud with my INTJ husband. I struggle in the same way. I am miserable without any routine, because my body needs that self care (what she was saying is so very true). I also severely struggle with routine because it seems to take every ounce of my focus and time to be able to do a workout, housework, time in prayer and for quiet reflection, my normal daily job and hygiene routines daily. When I finish with only those things... there is NO time for exploring new ideas, socializing, spending time with my husband or relaxing. And when I don't have that side of things... I emotionally melt down and I crack and I burn out. Meanwhile, the INTJ just seems to effortlessly and methodically get it all done and still has time for fun. It takes me twice as long as him to complete every task, too. So, that doesn't help. The struggle is real and I've been wondering how to fix it for several years now. I will be really consistent with a routine for a while, but then it all crashes when I crack or when some scheduled event that doesn't allow for the daily routine is thrown into the mix. What do people do when they have 3 evening engagements and a full weekend all in the same week? Where do they rest? How do they get up so early and yet finish all the things early enough for a decent bedtime? I just don't comprehend it. It is the single largest source of stress in my life.
Alexis, this has been super helpful for me - even though I've done quite a decent amount of learning about my type - you are very insightful. That thing about oscillating between what I truly want and what others want and that creating flakiness and friction really hit home. I need to use that Fi more and really listen to my convictions in all areas of my life. Need to have Te serve Fi
lol 22.23 the thing as an enfp going really hard with the favourite color; i have almost everything I wear in green and brown tones because I love the colors so much HAHA my hijab and whole outfit nuanced like that
I have tested for over 20 years as an intj. Recently I was typed by a typing professional an enfp. I was told that enfps often test online as intjs. Very interesting learning about this type. I can see why having fi and te higher up, just like intjs, would allow me to type as intj. I am also very ambiverted. Still trying to wrap my head around why I would test as having ni instead of ne so often. The si as wanting memories makes sense to me. I have always journaled and kept photos. I read my old journals quite often to see and connect past me with present me. My intj friends never connected with me on this. They didn't want to really remember past too much. Anyone have thoughts on this?
wow, this is the first time i have seen someone talk about this mistyping. for years i would test as an ENTJ but i noticed i was more feeling focused than t types. after looking into the functions, ENFP made the most sense. However, like you, could never make sense why i tested as ENTJ for so long... i though maybe I was an unhealthy ENFP that adopted a personality i admired... not sure
@dogdonut3, I have read that an ENFP's shadow type is an INFJ. I wonder if those 20 years were fraught with stress or if you were in equilibrium? When I was in my darkest moments, my INFJ mentor, who is an Executive Coach & Enneagram expert, typed me as an INFJ. I was like WTH‼️ I've always been an ENFP without a doubt, this lady is off her rocker. But the thing is, she saw so much of herself in me that she was like this girl is an INFJ like myself. Because I was exhibiting my INFJ qualities due to being in severe stress. Turns out that when we are super stressed and in our dark phases, we'll act like INFJs so that could be a reason that you were mistyped. Additionally, ENFPs & INFJs rely on the same but opposite cognitive functions in the same order. ENFPs = Ne > Fi > Te > Si while INTJs = Ni > Fe > Ti > Se.
@Jasmine Barry You could be on to something. I will think on that. I've been finding so many youtubers who have channels based on their type, now coming out as being mistyped. I see a lot of flaws in the typing system. I'm wondering if over the years there might be an overhaul to the whole theory of typing. As many other things, we may find humans are on a spectrum and it it very difficult to box them in with just 4 letters...at least with any accuracy. Just my opinion as I've been working my way through all of this. I think it supports your idea too, because we might present as many different types throughout different stages of our lives. Thank you for your interesting and thoughtful comment!
Hey I’m loving your videos so far. I notice you are very conscious of how you should present information based on the group you’re covering, like thinking maybe I should speed things up for ENFPs! Which function or combo would you attribute this to? I find myself doing this with my friends. I have a good understanding of how I should word things based on the individual and how they are likely to react. Is this like an Ni understanding thing maybe?
Hmm interesting questions! let me think on this for a sec... I think it could be many functions, Te may say "I want to tailor this to the viewer for maximum effectiveness in communication." Ni may say "I want this to be transmitted from my head to theirs" Fe may want to meet others' needs... so yeah could be many 😂 But I do think Ni-Te or Ni-Fe are particularly conscious of it.
Right writting have really helped me a lot to become more stable on my decisions .But the bad thing is that i became more introverted well maybe it's not that bad tough
Wait wait!!!! ENFP here. As to the "attention span" thing.... Go deep, go hard, and be true to your stance, You've got my attention. Otherwise, WTFE. Great vid. Keep it up, lass!!!
I am wondering if anyone had noticed a correlation between their astrological sign and MBTI, I'm ENDP and a Sagittarius, and I feel this helps me understand myself. Anyone else?
i love your mbti videos! Quick question if its okay, I've seen alot of ENFPs that seem to use Fe..Always making sure everybody is enjoying the gathering, initiating a fun atmosphere and so on. So I was wondering if there was a different way to interpret such behavior or if these ENFP ppl are just mistyped.
That might be part of their fi mission. To make sure no one feels left out (enfps support the "underdog"). Also, they are extroverts. Ne likes the ideas conversation/parties pings around the room.
@@dogdonut3I think your insight is likely. I'm ENFP, and in social gatherings "seem" to have more Fe, but really, it is just that I am wanting to check on individual friends and make sure they are doing okay. I especially do this when I notice someone specific seems to be a little "off" that day and unlike themselves. I like to be there to support them. I also like to make sure everyone has refreshments, but only because I care about their individual comfort, not about the group well being. I do this by setting up the refreshments and announcing they cam help themselves. I don't go around taking orders or bringing things to them. I think, "They are adults. They will get it when they want it." However, with young kiddos I ask them what they would like and I assist them. When it comes time to engage in an activity like a board game, I won't be the one in the kitchen cleaning up or setting out drinks, though. I'm right in there playing the game because I value being part of the fun, too. So, I think you are on to something there.
She didn’t say we don’t add value with our content, did you see the examples she gave of her friends and what they do? She perfectly covered all four bases and gave the most in depth and engaging explanation and reasoning behind our existence as a personality type. Rewatch the video if you don’t believe me.
No one ai know considers me “fun”. Lol And I have a great attention span; always have. Have to unsubscribe because you seem to just be sucking up to people to get them to watch. I’ll watch the function stuff first for the info though.

You got to admit though, that ENFPs' attention span is as adorable as a 6 month old golden retriever puppy (better metaphor...puppies are happy, outgoing, a lil mischievous - getting into innocent trouble when no ones looking...loves jumping excitingly on people, licking their faces while wagging their tails).
But seriously...living in the present moments is a "huge relief " for an INFJ's mind that mostly thinks either in the past decoding people's intentions or in the future, planning stuff. Why we love the ENFPs and ENTPs being in the present time frame...being around them is like drinking from a cool refreshing running spring for an INFJ...and ENTP's keeps us sharp as a whip, too.
At our best we are like puppies. Puppies know how to have fun. ENFP
Glad to be of service???
Being like me is like having a fire hose on my head constantly blasting thoughts, ideas, potential futures and possibilities. It's honestly exhausting. Don't forget, unlike ENTP's we get to feel butt-hurt about it all lol
The part "world is lucky to have ENFPs" & "Their message bring people to tears" made me emotional.
You're spot on - every ENFP needs to calm down a little and think 'Am I healthy, happy first of all' which is extremely important to oneself if you ought to help others.

I can see why having fi and te higher up, just like intjs, would allow me to type as intj.
I am also very ambiverted.
Still trying to wrap my head around why I would test as having ni instead of ne so often.
The si as wanting memories makes sense to me. I have always journaled and kept photos. I read my old journals quite often to see and connect past me with present me. My intj friends never connected with me on this. They didn't want to really remember past too much.
Anyone have thoughts on this?
wow, this is the first time i have seen someone talk about this mistyping. for years i would test as an ENTJ but i noticed i was more feeling focused than t types. after looking into the functions, ENFP made the most sense. However, like you, could never make sense why i tested as ENTJ for so long... i though maybe I was an unhealthy ENFP that adopted a personality i admired... not sure
@@Mercyreneeb Or...entjs (and people) are just more complex than the personality stereotypes give us credit for!
@dogdonut3, I have read that an ENFP's shadow type is an INFJ. I wonder if those 20 years were fraught with stress or if you were in equilibrium?
When I was in my darkest moments, my INFJ mentor, who is an Executive Coach & Enneagram expert, typed me as an INFJ. I was like WTH‼️ I've always been an ENFP without a doubt, this lady is off her rocker. But the thing is, she saw so much of herself in me that she was like this girl is an INFJ like myself. Because I was exhibiting my INFJ qualities due to being in severe stress.
Turns out that when we are super stressed and in our dark phases, we'll act like INFJs so that could be a reason that you were mistyped. Additionally, ENFPs & INFJs rely on the same but opposite cognitive functions in the same order. ENFPs = Ne > Fi > Te > Si while INTJs = Ni > Fe > Ti > Se.
@Jasmine Barry You could be on to something.
I will think on that.
I've been finding so many youtubers who have channels based on their type, now coming out as being mistyped. I see a lot of flaws in the typing system.
I'm wondering if over the years there might be an overhaul to the whole theory of typing.
As many other things, we may find humans are on a spectrum and it it very difficult to box them in with just 4 letters...at least with any accuracy.
Just my opinion as I've been working my way through all of this.
I think it supports your idea too, because we might present as many different types throughout different stages of our lives.
Thank you for your interesting and thoughtful comment!
I have no clue if I’m an ENFP or an INFP, I can never tell if I’m introverted or extroverted
if you cant tell, youre probably ENFP. they are the most ambiverted type
Hey I’m loving your videos so far. I notice you are very conscious of how you should present information based on the group you’re covering, like thinking maybe I should speed things up for ENFPs!
Which function or combo would you attribute this to? I find myself doing this with my friends. I have a good understanding of how I should word things based on the individual and how they are likely to react. Is this like an Ni understanding thing maybe?
Hmm interesting questions! let me think on this for a sec... I think it could be many functions, Te may say "I want to tailor this to the viewer for maximum effectiveness in communication." Ni may say "I want this to be transmitted from my head to theirs" Fe may want to meet others' needs... so yeah could be many 😂 But I do think Ni-Te or Ni-Fe are particularly conscious of it.
Your eyes are very beautiful!
beautiful information thanks so much
The attention span comment in the beginning made me laugh. like 3 seconds before you mentioned attention span, I started doing something else.
Right writting have really helped me a lot to become more stable on my decisions .But the bad thing is that i became more introverted well maybe it's not that bad tough
Will I remember to call you for every holiday? Probably not, BUT if you need someone to help you bury a body or help w/an emergency at 2am, I got you.
God, you are so interesting to just listen. Thank you for this video :)
Hahaha more routines ,on point 👈
thank you so much!
THANK YOU - an ENFP
Wait wait!!!!
ENFP here.
As to the "attention span" thing....
Go deep, go hard, and be true to your stance,
You've got my attention.
Otherwise,
WTFE.
Great vid.
Keep it up, lass!!!
Wow, I think I’m INFP.
MEOW !
ENFP here and I’m always on time or early. To a fault 😅😂
Thank u very insightful god bless
I am wondering if anyone had noticed a correlation between their astrological sign and MBTI, I'm ENDP and a Sagittarius, and I feel this helps me understand myself. Anyone else?
i love your mbti videos! Quick question if its okay, I've seen alot of ENFPs that seem to use Fe..Always making sure everybody is enjoying the gathering, initiating a fun atmosphere and so on. So I was wondering if there was a different way to interpret such behavior or if these ENFP ppl are just mistyped.
That might be part of their fi mission. To make sure no one feels left out (enfps support the "underdog").
Also, they are extroverts. Ne likes the ideas conversation/parties pings around the room.
@@dogdonut3I think your insight is likely. I'm ENFP, and in social gatherings "seem" to have more Fe, but really, it is just that I am wanting to check on individual friends and make sure they are doing okay. I especially do this when I notice someone specific seems to be a little "off" that day and unlike themselves. I like to be there to support them.
I also like to make sure everyone has refreshments, but only because I care about their individual comfort, not about the group well being. I do this by setting up the refreshments and announcing they cam help themselves. I don't go around taking orders or bringing things to them. I think, "They are adults. They will get it when they want it." However, with young kiddos I ask them what they would like and I assist them.
When it comes time to engage in an activity like a board game, I won't be the one in the kitchen cleaning up or setting out drinks, though. I'm right in there playing the game because I value being part of the fun, too.
So, I think you are on to something there.
Thanks, do you think it's normal for enfps to kind of almost be manic depressive as part of their nature?
❤️🙏
you're pretty
Furthermore, this is the best, and most in-depth video I've seen on the subject. Thanks.
Omg this is so good 👍
What is your type? :3
INTJ
@@AlexisKingsley Omg Wow 😍
Hey buddy my depression has no effect on the quality of my advice.
The quality of your advice is shaped by your approach in giving it
I’m a ENFP I create content that adds value your assessment is wrong
She didn’t say we don’t add value with our content, did you see the examples she gave of her friends and what they do? She perfectly covered all four bases and gave the most in depth and engaging explanation and reasoning behind our existence as a personality type. Rewatch the video if you don’t believe me.
No one ai know considers me “fun”. Lol And I have a great attention span; always have. Have to unsubscribe because you seem to just be sucking up to people to get them to watch. I’ll watch the function stuff first for the info though.
