4 World-Changing ENFP Women

Half-finished seems to be the permanent state of my life. I have drafts of unfinished articles, books and poems on my hard-drive. There’s an embroidery project that was meant to be a Christmas present, but alas, the recipient got a gift card instead. The rose-colored thread from said project is poking out beneath boxes I have yet to unpack from our move seven months ago. As an ENFP, any new and novel adventure takes my complete attention and whisks me into realms unknown. But sticking with tasks...

ENFP vs. ENFJ: How to Tell Them Apart

Within the Myers and Briggs personality system, it’s easy to assume the ENFP and ENFJ are inseparable siblings. They make a great team, but more because of their marked differences than their similarities.

While surprising to some, both types would agree that they are not personality twinners.

So… how do you tell them apart?

The first noticeable difference is the last letter of the four-letter code: P vs. J. Perceivers are laid back and spontaneous. They like to keep their options open, take

Top 4 Road Trip Destinations for Extraverts

The love of a road trip is universal. Jamming playlists, deep conversations, the relaxing lull of rolling through this good, green earth – say no more! Not to mention spending time with someone you (hopefully) enjoy in the passenger seat.

However, expectations of a road trip adventure depend entirely on each person and their personality type. What an Introvert would consider their dream vacation might make an Extravert die of boredom. Or reverse those roles, and our poor introverted friends mig

What Each Enneagram Type Packs for a Road Trip

Some believe that road trips should be planned, itinerized and run like a well-oiled machine, while others have a more go-with-the-flow style. And these differences appear before you even hit the road, with very different attitudes about what to pack and why.

Here’s what we think each Enneagram type will pack for their road trip. Read on to find out what’s in store for you and your travel companions!

Beware: your Type 1 travel companion is going to be fastidious in their preparation. Travel wa

What Are the Most Common Enneagram Types for ENFPs?

When my sister first told me that she had also tested as an ENFP, my immediate thought was that she was dead wrong.

Clearly, I am the one and only true ENFP! (Sounds just like an ENFP thing to say, yeah?)

I went through all of the deep ENFP knowledge I’ve learned in my years studying personality theory. I took each letter one by one, dug into the cognitive functions, and even compared both of us against characters of the TV show Friends to make my case.

Yet none of those avenues sated my conf

ENFP vs. INFP: How to Tell Them Apart

As an ENFP personality, I have questioned whether or not I’m actually an Extravert multiple times. It was incredibly helpful to read the ENFP Survival Guide by Heidi Priebe (she also has one for INFPs!) and discover some key differences between the two. For example, the ENFP is the most introverted of the extraverted personality types. Pretty cool, huh?

During one intense personal crucible, I was convinced my personality type had changed. I bought the corresponding INFP Survival Guide and settl

What are the Best Careers for the Enneagram Type 9?

Enneagram Nines are sometimes seen as the “jack of all trades” of the Enneagram. They can have the adventurous spirit of an Enneagram Seven, while boasting of the creativity attributed to Enneagram Fours, and the generous nature of Twos.

This can make it difficult to find a career path as a Nine who can hold their own in many circumstances, and often has a tendency to blend into others’ expectations and goals.

Never fear, Nines have an incredible ability to find their calling and settle into a

How to Use Acts of Service Love Language in Your Relationship

The acts of service love language is the ultimate show of the proverb “actions speak louder than words.”

Though not an undeniable personality trait of this love language, I always associate acts of service with those who keep their cards close to their chest and use few words to express their ideas, if they decide to express themselves at all.

Using acts of service in your relationship isn’t all service projects and cookies. It’s about actively making someone else’s life better through thought

Are Certain Personality Types More Compatible Than Others?

After learning your Myers and Briggs personality type, how many of you started typing the people in your life and the characters on your favorite TV shows?

C’mon. It can’t just be me.

It’s pretty natural to apply newly acquired knowledge to the world around us. It helps us retain what we learn and see the world through new lenses. Given that fact, it naturally follows that personality type compatibility is a hot topic!

6 Ways to Use Words of Affirmation as a Love Language

The words of affirmation love language can sometimes be confused with flowery words, Shakespeare-like sonnets, or even guitar-wielding hipsters trying to seduce with music and lyrics.

Truth is, it doesn’t take a creative writing degree to use the words of affirmation love language.

In fact, as a words of affirmation person myself, I’m here to tell you that the simple, heartfelt statements matter much more than a poem.

What the Quality Time Love Language Means - And How It Can Improve Your Relationship

The age-old adage “absence makes the heart grow fonder” falls incredibly flat within the quality time love language.

In fact, I imagine those who use quality time to communicate love find that phrase an embarrassing copout. The quality time love language – one of Gary Chapman's five love languages – is ultimately about spending uninterrupted and distraction-free time together.

It’s friendship in its purest form, complete with a mindful presence.

8 Ways to Show Love Using the Physical Touch Love Language

Okay, I’m just gonna come out and say it.

The physical touch love language is not just about sex.

Don’t get me wrong, a little horizontal boogie is good for the soul. And your relationship.

However, there are a number of other ways to show love using physical touch.

By the by, don’t buy into the myth that words cheapen physical touch experiences. It won’t ruin a darn thing if you verbally ask for what you physically crave. It’s not uncouth to ask if it’s okay to touch someone before followin

What Does it Mean When Your Love Language is Gift Giving?

Let’s be honest, the gift-giving love language gets a bad rap.

Words like “selfish” and “materialistic” are often associated (by non-gift-giving types) with this love language, because it suggests you want to receive (as well as give) “stuff” from your partner as a gesture of their love.

And it’s time to put these misconceptions to rest.

What Is Extraverted Intuition?

Before we start in on exactly what Extraverted Intuition is, let’s revisit the basics of cognitive functions, shall we?

Carl Jung originally theorized about cognitive functions, referring to specific methods of processing information and making decisions based on your personality type. Isabel Briggs Myers later wrote about these functions in greater detail. The basic idea is that each 4-letter personality type uses four of the possible eight cognitive functions. These four functions appear in a

ENFP and INTJ Compatibility: As Coworkers, Lovers and Friends

What good is personality theory if you can’t put it into practice? Below we’ll walk through the specific dynamics of an ENFP and INTJ relationship as coworkers, lovers, and friends.

Before we get into the nitty-gritty of each type of relationship, here are a couple of general pointers in communication between an ENFP and INTJ.

4 Fictional Characters You’ll Truly Relate to if You’re an ENFP

It is no secret: we are wired for stories. Fiction allows us to stress-test and learn vicariously through relatable characters and fascinating worlds.

If you’re an ENFP personality, chances are you’ve been disappointed by other articles that point to Michael Scott or Ron Weasley as your fictional personality counterparts. As engaging as these characters are, I’m guessing that you don’t want to be associated with the universally inappropriate boss or the insecure sidekick.
