ENFP's Are Actually 2 Different Types

Get ready to expand your mind 🤯 as we look at how the MBTI and Enneagram collide, this time for the magical ENFPs. If you have other ideas for MBTI x Enneagram videos, I'd love to hear them!

Lovely to see you again, Ayla. Many of my friends since childhood are/were ENFPs (i'm INTJ by the way & we usually attract ENFP friends). But i think all of them are type 7 and they were my best hangout friends. Thank you for the great video.

Hi, Ayla! It's great to see you posting again! And yes, I for one am loving your MBTI vs Enneagram series!
Wanna hear something interesting about MBTI vs the Enneagram? INFJ a rare type, only 1-3% of the population. I have a good friend who is a philosophy professor and a Consecrated Virgin (it’s like a nun, minus the vow of obedience). According to a sister who did a survey within the order, more than HALF of all CVs are INFJs. Amazing! It figures, though, that they wouldn’t be your average women.

Nice to run into more people who find stuff like The Enneagram and MBTI fascinating! To add to this, I'm an ENFP 3. To be precise, ENFP 3w4. It's a blend I typically enjoy, though a part of me thinks it factors into why I find authenticity so important.

[nosebot]

ENFP 7w8, although my 4 is pretty developed as well. Basically my enneagram is NOT a 1. And yeah, I’m a lot like the 7 you described. I’m still sad COVID got in the way of taking the knife fighting classes I was really looking forward to.

[Aliacesatori]

ok yes your description of 4 is sooo me, and it does seem very juxtapositioned with me also being an entj

[curiouslykristina]

I think I am an ENFP 4w5. This helped clarify that I am much more a 4 than 7 :) Thanks!

I couldn’t be more of a 7 🤣 life is so chaotic and yes 3 plans at a time, no breaks!

[terencejohnson]

Being 65 ADD and dyslexic, I test 4w5. Holistic spiritual psychologist. Too sensitive and miss understood. Self preserve 4. Relate more to infj, but definitely enfp. Appreciated your take on this. Continued success and hope you share more of your insights. Would like your thoughts on the 4w5 outlier. ❤😂

You're that smart, funny girl who's also distractingly sexy. 😂🤣 Anyway, your enneagram has a megaton influence on your mbti, so much so you might look like another type even when you don't do those things. I've heard that ESFPs are supposedly mistyped as ENFPs for some reason but I never am. As an 8, I'll get ESTP or ENTJ or sometimes ISFP, which I'm not sure can even be an 8, or even ISTP and I am most assuredly not that.

[cory]

For a long time I thought enfps were all type 7 and that I wasnt one, but im definitely type 4

[ProfessorThursday]

ENFP 259 (all equal). I don't feel very represented. I might be a little too unique.

Very informative video.Can you name any ENFP type 4 fictional characters?
