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.
Here is a photo of a response from a combined group with ENFP and ENTP preferences.
This exercise always generates lots of energy in ENP groups as they engage their dominant function of Extraverted Intuition (Ne).
Jean Kummerow describes this dominant function as “popcorn popping”. You can see ideas all over the page, an approach that those with ENTP and ENFP preferences commonly take to this exercise. The umbrella in this illustration refers to the big picture rather than rain or protection.
How do you respond when seeing this energetic, unstructured approach in action?
I have posted several other ENTP illustrations and ENFP illustrations.
If you are interested in seeing how people with different type preferences complete this exercise, check out the entire Illustrations of Type series.
