ENFJ

Have you ever taken a Jung Typology (or personality) test? I probably took one a long time ago but, thanks to Shannon tweeting about her result a while back, I recently took it again (then compared it to a Harry Potter character) (more on that later) and my result was ENFJ.

After reading up on several websites, I feel like this test is pretty on point, and it's a little more "evidenced based" (<--heeeyoooo nursing term) than astrology. And you all know how much I love astrology. Oh, you don't? Well I love it. I've matched my sign with every boy I've ever dated and most of my friends to see if we were compatible. I don't take that ish lightly.

Back to the ENFJ thing though. Good qualities:
- people focused/have good people skills
- have definite values and opinions that I am able to express clearly
- people love ENFJs (duh)
- have a strong need for close, intimate relationships
- loyal and trustworthy
- perceptive about other people's thoughts and emotions
- strive for "win/win" situations
- driven to meet others' needs

Not so good qualities (aka weaknesses):
- can have the tendency to be manipulative to get what they want
- sensitive to conflict, tend to sweep things under the rug
- critical of opinions and attitudes that don't match their own
- don't pay enough attention to their own needs
- have the tendency to be controlling

All in all, I think the descriptions I read fit me pretty perfectly. Of course there were some things I disagreed with a little, most of it was pretty accurate. I also read something about ENFJs need to hear words of affirmation often, which totally matches up with my love language.

My Harry Potter comparison character was Albus Dumbledore so obviously I win at everything. Even when I'm dead people will still be asking my advice and seeing me when they get to heaven. Or the train station. Whatever.

Take the Jung Typology test here then compare your result to the list of Harry Potter characters below and let me know what you get! Or don't, it's a free country.
