Personality Type

ENFP

Extravert(67%) iNtuitive(75%) Feeling(38%) Perceiving(22%)

"ENFPs are both "idea"-people and "people"-people, who see everyone and everything as part of a cosmic whole." 
          This is spot on considering I've always considered myself to be a vision/idea person rather than one who gets bogged down by the little details of life.

"They want to both help and to be liked and admired by other people, on both an individual and a humanitarian level. "
         Well first of all, who doesn't want to be liked, and second of all this is only true to an extent. I feel like although it would be nice to be "liked and admired by other people", I tend not to absolutely go out of my way to make it happen.
       
"ENFPs often have strong, if sometimes surprising, values and viewpoints. They tend to try to use their social skills and contacts to persuade others gently (though enthusiastically) of the rightness of these views".
        I agree wholeheartedly. I have many strong opinions and I find myself trying to convince people of my view fairly often. Whether or not these interactions are gentle is up for debate. Slowly I'm learning the value of timing; timing of when I should voice these opinions or keep them to myself.

"affectionate, demonstrative, and spontaneous."
       I think these words lend themselves to the "feeling" part of my personality description, by which I make the majority of my decisions. In other words, yes these words are very appropriate. Affection would probably be one of my less obvious qualities, as I usually cover it up with silliness, but it's definitely there. 

"Many in relationships with an ENFP literally say, "They light up my life." But there is usually a trade-off: the partner must be willing to deal with the practical and financial aspects of the relationship, and the ENFP must be allowed the freedom to follow their latest path, whatever that entails."
       Yes, that would be ideal.


"ENFPs are also a major asset in brainstorming sessions; follow-through on projects can be a problem, however. ENFPs do get distracted, especially if another interesting issue comes along. They also tend towards procrastination, and dislike performing small, uninteresting tasks. ENFPs are most productive when working in a group with a few Js to handle the details and the deadlines."
        I had to make this quote extra long, because truer words have never been spoken. I get very passionate about big ideas and then forget all that it takes to get them done.


"ENFPs have what some call a "silly switch." They can be intellectual, serious, all business for a while, but whenever they get the chance, they flip that switch... Sometimes they may even appear intoxicated when the "switch" is flipped."
       I agree, this is probably my favorite part of myself. I actually am happy that I can make fun of myself and laugh at my life more often than most. 


ENFPs like to tell funny stories, especially about their friends. 
       Once again, who doesn't? But yes, definitely, this is something I find particular joy in partaking in.


"Friends are what life is about to ENFPs, moreso even than the other NFs. They hold up their end of the relationship, sometimes being victimized by less caring individuals. ENFPs are energized by being around people. Some have real difficulty being alone, especially on a regular basis."
        Pretty spot on, even though I hate to admit it.
        
        
'ENFPs sometimes can be blindsided by their secondary Feeling function. Hasty decisions based on deeply felt values may boil over with unpredictable results. More than one ENFP has abruptly quit a job in such a moment."
       I find myself being surprised by my own feelings ALL THE TIME. It's weirdly both intriguing and disconcerting at the same time.
