For ENFPs the dominant
quality in their lives is their attention to the
outer world of possibilities; they are excited by
continuous involvement in anything new, whether it
be new ideas, new people, or new activities.Though ENFPs thrive on what is possible and
what is new, they also experience a deep concern
for people as well.Thus, they are especially interested in
possibilities for people, ENFPs are typically
energetic, enthusiastic people who lead
spontaneous and adaptable lives.
