Famous ENFJ Personalities

ENFJ (Extroverted Intuitive Feeling Judging) is one of the sixteen personality types defined by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) test.

ENFJs, like other “E” types, are extremely sociable. They’re fascinated with other people’s lives and care deeply about those around them. They have a positive, idealistic outlook and love to help others improve themselves and solve their problems. They tend to be decisive and good planners, so they make excellent leaders, counselors, and facilitators.

Unfortunately, ENFJs can also come across as meddling, nosy, and controlling, and some ENFJs use their empathetic gifts to manipulate others for their benefit. But most ENFJs are an inspiring force in the lives of those who know them.

ENFJs are a relatively rare type, making up about 2% of the population — women tend to be ENFJs slightly more often than men. Here are some famous people who exemplify the ENFJ type.

    These are wrong. Johnny Depp is INFP and Jennifer Lawrence is ESFP. Those are just 2 that I know of, who knows how many others are wrong.

    Just a little constructive criticism here:
    Joseph Goebbels is not someone I want to know about when it comes to my personality type, he was a terrible person.
    But otherwise, great list!
    Thank you!
