A four-part series In which I describe the effects and subjective experience of the dominant and auxiliary functions in ENFP -- Ne and Fi, respectively -- (*Part 1*) and explore why and how it can be so difficult for people of this type to obtain balance in multiple areas of life (*Part 2*); the particular, partial ways ENFP tends to be poorly understood by others; what's behind ENFP patterns of behavior many find difficult to relate to/in part what gives ENFP a bad rap (*Parts 3 and 4*), and some ideas as to what can be done to reduce confusion and misunderstanding, plus a glimmer as to how ENFPs might have better (and less irritating ;-)) lives (*Part 4*).
For many ideas I mention and touch on in this series I'm indebted to the excellent (and morale-boosting :-)) work of Carolyn Zaikowski, Eric Strauss, Michael Pierce, and Chad Crandall in their following videos about ENFP. Highly recommended viewing for all ENFPs!!
