…from “Please Understand Me” by Keirsey & Bates<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u00a0“Extroverted IN<\/strong>tuitive Feeling Judging, known as “ENFJs<\/strong>,” are\u00a0outstanding leaders of groups and growth groups.\u00a0 They have the charming characteristic of seeming to take for granted that they will be followed, never doubting that people will want to do what they suggest.\u00a0 And, more often than not, people do, because this type has unusual charisma.\u00a0 ENFJs place a high value on cooperation from others and\u00a0are most willing to cooperate themselves.”<\/li>\n
  2. “INFJs<\/strong> focus on possibilities, think in terms of values and come easily to decisions.\u00a0 The small number of this type (1%) is regrettable, since INFJs have an unusually strong drive to contribute to the welfare of others and genuinely enjoy helping their fellow\u00a0men [or women].\u00a0 This type has great depth of personality; they are themselves complicated, and can understand and deal with complex issues and people.”\u00a0 https:\/\/www.verywell.com\/infj-introverted-intuitive-feeling-judging-2795978<\/li>\n
  3. “For ENFPs<\/strong> (https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/ENFP), nothing occurs which does not have some significance, and they have an uncanny sense of the motivations of others.\u00a0 This gives them a talent for seeing life as an exciting drama, pregnant with possibilities for both good and evil.\u00a0 This [personality] type is found in only about 5% of the general population, but they have great influence because of their extraordinary impact on others.”<\/li>\n
  4. “INFPs<\/strong> (https:\/\/www.verywell.com\/infp-a-profile-of-the-idealist-personality-type) represent a calm, pleasant face to the world and are seen as reticent and even shy.\u00a0 Although they demonstrate a cool reserve toward others, inside they are anything but distant.\u00a0 They have a capacity for caring which is not always found in other types.\u00a0 They care deeply–indeed, passionately– about a few special persons or a cause. One word that captures this type in idealistic.\u00a0 At times, this characteristic leaves them feeling isolated, especially sin INFPs are found in only 1% of the general population.”<\/li>\n
  5. “If one word were used to capture ENTJs<\/strong> style, it would be commandant (https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/ENTJ).\u00a0 The basic driving force and need of ENTJs is to lead, and from an early age they can be observed taking over groups.\u00a0 This type is found in approximately 5% of the total population.\u00a0 They have a strong urge to give structure wherever they hare–to harness people to distant goals.”<\/li>\n
  6. “INTJs<\/strong> are the most self-confident of all they types, having “self-power” awareness.\u00a0 Found in about 1% of the general population, the INTJs live in an introspective reality, focusing on possibilities, using thinking in the form of empirical logic, and preferring that events and people serve some positive use.”\u00a0 (https:\/\/www.verywell.com\/intj-introverted-intuitive-thinking-judging-2795988)<\/li>\n
  7. “ENTPs<\/strong> wish to exercise their ingenuity in the world of people and things.\u00a0 Found in about five out of every hundred people, ENTPs extravert intuition; thus they deal imaginatively with social relationships as well as physical and mechanical relations.\u00a0 They are very alert to what is apt to occur next, and always sensitive to possibilities.”\u00a0 (https:\/\/www.verywell.com\/intj-introverted-intuitive-thinking-judging-2795988.)<\/li>\n
  8. “INTPs<\/strong> exhibit the greatest precision in thought and language of all the types; they tend to see distinctions and inconsistencies in thought and language instantaneously.\u00a0 The one work which captures the unique style of INTPs is architect–the architect of ideas and systems as well as the architect of edifices.\u00a0 This type is found in only 1% of the population and therefore is not encountered as frequently as some of the other types.”\u00a0 (https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/INTP.)<\/li>\n
  9. “ESTJs<\/strong> are very much in touch with the external environment.\u00a0 They know their community and usually are pillars of strength.\u00a0 The best adjective to describe ESTJs would be responsible.\u00a0 The represent about 13% of the general population.”\u00a0 (https:\/\/www.16personalities.com\/estj-personality.)<\/li>\n
  10. “ISTJs<\/strong> are characterized by decisiveness in practical affairs, are the guardians of time-honored institutions, and, if only one adjective could be selected, dependable would best describe this type which represents about 6percen of the general population.”\u00a0 (http:\/\/www.personalitypage.com\/ISTJ.html.)<\/li>\n
  11. “ESFJs<\/strong>, the most sociable of all types, are energized by interactions with people, tending to idealize whatever of whoever they admire.\u00a0 Harmony is a\u00a0key to this type, which is represented in about 13 percent of the general population.”\u00a0 (http:\/\/www.truity.com\/personality-type\/esfj.)<\/li>\n
  12. “Six out of every one hundred people are ISFJs<\/strong>.\u00a0 Here the primary desire is to be of service and to minister to individual needs.\u00a0 ISFJs carry a sense of history, a sense of continuity with past events and relationships.\u00a0 Traditions and the conservation of resources are valued highly.\u00a0 …ISFJs believe work is good, play must be earned.”\u00a0 (http:\/\/www.personalitypage.com\/ISFJ.html.)<\/li>\n
  13. “ESTPs<\/strong> are men and women of action.\u00a0 When someone of this personality is present, things begin to happen.\u00a0 The lights come on, the music plays, the game begins.\u00a0 And a game it is for the ESTP, the outstanding entrepreneur, the international diplomat, the conciliator, and the negotiator par excellence.\u00a0 Approximately 13% of the general population are of this extraverted, sensing, thinking, perceiving type, and if only one adjective could be used to describe ESTPs resourceful would be an apt choice.”\u00a0 (https:\/\/www.16personalities.com\/estp-personality.)<\/li>\n
  14. “ESFPs<\/strong> radiate attractive warmth and optimism.\u00a0 Smooth, witty, charming, clever, voluble, and open to the environment–this describes ESFPs who, like ESTPs, represent about 13% of the general population.\u00a0 They are great fun to be with and are the most generous of all the types.\u00a0 Performer would be the word which best describes an ESFP.”\u00a0 (https:\/\/www.verywell.com\/esfp-extraverted-sensing-feeling-perceiving-2795984.)<\/li>\n
  15. “Just as impulsive as other SPs, the ISTP’s<\/strong> life is artful action–and action is end in itself.\u00a0 Action for the ISTP is more gratifying if it is born of impulse rather than of purpose.\u00a0 If the action is in the service of an end or aim, let the aim look out for itself; it cannot be allowed to influence execution.\u00a0 The act is self-directed, self-leading, containing its own imperatives which are egalitarian an can be fiercely loyal to “brothers,” but they can also be fiercely insubordinate, seeing hierarchy and authority as unnecessary and even superfluous.’\u00a0 (https:\/\/www.verywell.com\/istp-introverted-sensing-thinking-perceiving-2795993.)<\/li>\n
  16. Although all SPs (Sensuous Performers) are artisans in their nature, they usually do not pursue\u00a0their artistry with the same devotion to grace and adornment as the ISFP<\/strong>.\u00a0 For whatever reason, the ISFP seems more inclined to the “fine arts” than the other SPs; so when an especially gifted composer, painter, or dance shows up, he or she, more frequently than not, possesses the character of the ISFP.\u00a0 Beethoven, Toscanini, Rembrandt, and Nijinski, as shown by typohistorical research, were clear-cut ISFPs.\u00a0 But the ISFP temperament is very difficult to observe, even in the great artists, and so ISFP is probably the most misunderstood of all the types.”\u00a0 (https:\/\/www.16personalities.com\/isfp-personality.)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
