ISTJ and ENFP Personality Types in the Workplace

Share a PowerPoint with your audience to see who is reading it, how much they read and which slides they like the most.

Every office holds a mix of different personality types. Building an effective team starts with knowing the types you should never pair up. This video highlights the troubles you may encounter when asking an ISTJ (The Reliable Realist) and an ENFP (The Spontaneous Idealist) to work on a project together.

In our three video series we highlight several Myers-Briggs based personality types and outline the characteristics that you should look out for when finding them a work partner.

As an ISTJ... every second of this video slowly killed ne

My myer's briggs result is ENFP and my partner's is ISTJ. (Note that I don't define us as our types, only as people with these results). And yes, if we don't remember our shared goal and both make some compromises working together can be frustrating and I found the exaggeration of this dynamic hilarious!!  This is the kind of stuff we have fun teasing each other over.  Obviously he's not THIS serious or bothered by me and obviously I'm not THIS off task, but I'm not offended by the portrayal unlike many commenters because I realize this is a dramatization that is meant to be funny.  Those of you who understand that it's meant to be funny but think you're making a point by saying "it's actually not" just sound like you've forgetten something basic: humour is subjective...

I'm an enfp and my dad's an istj. This made me laugh muchhhh. We see eye to eye... Till we don't. Lol

[icehearts]

LOL I'm an ENFP and I loved this!! My mom is an ISTJ..we don't see eye to eye on much

[ftakenouchi]

Exactly. Enfps DO NOT act like that...way too dramatic, perpetuates stereotyping and pivots from what's AUTHENTIC!

[lyrasheina]

It's me and my sister haha. I feel tired just looking at her being so active😂

[moeasmal]

When a structured plan is made an ENFP has boarders created to be creative with in. It's always useful for an ENFP to have ISTJ partner

[Stygian]

Did anyone else notice the mistake at 1:23 that it said "ISTP" instead of "ISTJ" 😅?

[FElix-dege]

LoL. ISTJ here. people like her drives me nuts!

[axosrain]

This is not how it would happen at work for me at all. When I worked with an ISTJ we were a good team and when felt he was having a bad day I would give him his space and if I had candy I would give him some. I don’t act Enthusiastic and crazy unless I’m at Golden Corral and they have cotton candy lol.

[darkdelphin]

I'm an ENFP and I don't have ADHD

[jueruuu]

I’m an ISTJ and have a ENFP friend, well when we’re doing schoolwork’s she doesn’t act like that😂 btw I find it funny tho

[kevinfukthezetamale]

I see Sanguines can be exasperrated and stirring up drama for many Melancholics in the workplace since they are focusing on finishing the task by not being distracted.

My sister is INFJ and I’m ESTP, we get along very well but where we clash is that I don’t mind doing this out of no where...when she kinda wants to plan stuff. ESFP aren’t like that at all, we are like that when we got nothing to do and we appreciate those who are hard workers....they motivate us to focus. But we are hard workers, more than other groups to be honest...there is a reason why we attract INFJ

[dereklim]

Bull***t... I'm an ISTJ... This is actually awesome... I almost believed everything, except for the endings...

[ReminderOfAllah]

Could you please do the ISTJ - INTJ relation?

[d.o.]

Rigid structures rarely stand the test of time...

[gunnerulrich]

All the ENFPs below whining on "we're not like this! We're smart!" Okay, sure, you guys are smart. Prove it by taking this *comedy* video less seriously.
