Illustrations of Type – ENFP

Illustrations of Type – ENFP

By Donna Dunning

Part 2 of 3

In my MBTI® Certification workshops participants respond to the instruction -“Describe your type using words, phrases, or pictures.” I find these visual representations of type preferences help illustrate individual differences.

I use the term Explorer to describe people who use this open-ended, idea-focused approach as their dominant function.

Here is the second photo of a set of three pages that comprises the response from a group with ENFP preferences.

On this second page, the process of Extraverted Intuition continues as the group rapidly generates more descriptors. You can see how the Feeling function is discussed (tactful, caring, compassionate…) as well as the use of Intuition (see patterns, insightful…). The energy flow is definitely being directed outward (articulate, enthusiastic…).

But wait… there is more. This group also completed a third page during the exercise.

You may also enjoy looking at how other ENFP groups have completed this Illustrations of Type exercise.

As you look through the other illustrations you can see the creative, unstructured approach people with these preferences tend to take when they approach a task.

If you are interested in seeing how people with different type preferences complete this exercise, check out the Illustrations of Type series.
