I don’t know what it is but lately I have a feeling like I’m a volcano waiting to erupt! I used to be such an angry child, what happened?! Where is my mean bone? I miss that tantrum throwing rebellious girl who loved to ask people to go where they belonged. Its almost like I moved to England a completely different person, may be it was the pressure of being alone and not wanting to upset anyone but now that I think about it all, I was always a peoples person who just didn’t know how to control the temper switch.
BUT
I am convinced only 1% of the population I interact with are like me, the rest are just rude, moody people who think being kind is a sign of weakness. I am obsessed with personality tests and have taken Carl Jung’s personality test a zillion times and am clearly an ENFJ (Extroverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Judgement)
If you read what the test results say, ENFJ’s are freakin cool people,
” ENFJs are the benevolent ‘pedagogues’ of humanity. They have tremendous charisma by which many are drawn into their nurturant tutelage and/or grand schemes. Many ENFJs have tremendous power to manipulate others with their phenomenal interpersonal skills and unique salesmanship. But it’s usually not meant as manipulation (* yes I’m not a manipulator, amazing how all personality tests say I am…bitches *)– ENFJs generally believe in their dreams, and see themselves as helpers and enablers, which they usually are. ENFJs are organized in the arena of interpersonal affairs.
ENFJs know and appreciate people. Like most NFs, (and Feelers in general), they are apt to neglect themselves and their own needs for the needs of others. They have thinner psychological boundaries than most, and are at risk for being hurt or even abused by less sensitive people. ENFJs often take on more of the burdens of others than they can bear. (My situation explained in exact words!)”
Freakin Barack Obama is an ENFJ Jedi! (EDIT: Just found out Oprah is an ENFJ too! How can being an ENFJ be sucky if all the cool people are them! Uh oh…some random site states Cristiano Ronaldo is one too mwahaha)
In simple, ENFJ’s are people who love people (genuinely!), want to live life to the fullest and without interpersonal stress, are fabulous with communication and planning (might manipulate others into doing stuff but atleast in my case it is only for the person’s advantage) also make excellent listeners (my friends will HAVE to agree ‘cos over 25 years I have heard every single person go on and on about stuff & I still remember most of it!) So I have glossed over all the awesome qualities of being an ENFJ but there is one major sucky bit, “always wanting to fix everything just so that we can hide it under the rug and move on!”. I think the other problem is also that ENFJ’s love to dump everything on emotion than logic. There is also a third major drawback, “Attention Deficiency Disorder!”. I like to see texts and missed calls on my phone everyday, see friends send me messages/emails, to be honest, it doesn’t matter who its from, I just want to feel wanted and liked! It is very easy to make me feel unliked, just ignore me for a day!
From the bottom of my heart, I love being an ENFJ.
The Jung-Myers-Briggs test (link here http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes1.htm). Everytime I take it, I secretly hope it gives me ENFJ for result. I like the idea of being the extroverted, intuitive, feeler who is great with judgements.
Back to my problem, so I want to express serious anger and I can’t. Thanks to the lovely snow I can’t go run and put the energy to productive use either. I’ve just finished doing crazy push-ups/crunches/air punches just to let off the steam but I am still so mad inside. It is almost as if I want to go and shout at everyone who is upsetting me lately, show them the finger and ask them to go where they belong! The probability is, I wont explode until someone really cuts me up, only a unlucky few know how I tend to disappear out of their lives when I am insanely mad, for now I could deal with some chocolate pudding…oh and someone texted! I feel loved already!
PS: This seems like the only ENFJ group on facebook!
