breakdown analysis by function
ENFJ: Fe Ni Se Ti
The ENFJ’s primary function is extroverted feeling, or Fe. This function has to do with group emotions and morality. Fe-users value the harmony of the group and try to make sure everyone is feeling good. They do not have a very clear view of their own feelings or beliefs outside the context of others. Therefore they often need to talk out their feelings with someone else, evaluate their feelings in the context of a group, or hear other people give their perspectives on a situation. They make emotional decisions based on how the group feels and what they value and feel extremely uncomfortable if there is disagreement in their social group. They see morality as something relatively universal, and therefore may come across as judgmental since they may place their moral judgements onto other peoples’ lives. They conform to group behavior, follow social norms, and understand and respect different societies’ culture and laws. However, this is not to say that all Fe-users are fine abandoning their personal beliefs in order to fit in with others. Merely they prefer to reach a group consensus and like the idea of maintaining harmony. In addition, they are much more dependent on affirmation from others and feel uncomfortable if someone disapproves of their behavior or dislikes them.
The ENFJ’s auxiliary function is introverted intuition, or Ni. This function looks for inner meaning, looking to converge on one single truth in a situation. When looking towards the future, they may brainstorm various possibilities, but it is all for the purpose of understanding what will actually come to be (not what could come to be). Ni-users are skilled at seeing the underlying themes or realities behind the surface, and can therefore understand situations with great depth (for example, understanding symbolism in a piece of literature). It is a convergent function that takes a singular topic or situation and goes into it, looking to understand its true essence. They see the symbolism behind things and seek out deeper truth than what is present on the surface. Even when they don’t have sufficient proof to back up their claims, they may just “feel” like something is true or right. They are very future oriented with a tendency to plan for the long term. They can see the potential in things, envisioning the ways that a current situation can be improved.
The ENFJ’s tertiary function is Se, extroverted sensing. Extroverted sensing means living in the moment, taking in life through their five senses. They think in the moment, wanting to experience spontaneity and adventure. Although it doesn’t have as much influence on the ENFJ personality as the first two functions, it is something they are generally skilled at. They probably have a taste for fine sensory experiences and possess the ability to craft their appearance well. They probably like events like taking their date to a nice restaurant, or going to play sports with their friends. They also are fairly comfortable with placing their future plans into physical action. However, they are more comfortable with abstract ideas, plans, or reasoning.
The ENFJ’s inferior function is introverted thinking, or Ti. This function seeks to understand the world of ideas, to make rational logic judgements in one’s mind. This function is one that ENFJ’s are uncomfortable with, and they may have trouble being interested in completely unemotional problems and viewing them in an unbiased light. They like solving problems that have to do with people or enacting future possibilities, but problems that have to do with internal logic and abstract theories may be more difficult for them to be interested in. If they overindulge their inferior function, they may become overly critical, detached, and follow a sense of convoluted logic.
