The personality type that is most similar to INFJ but more extroverted is ENFJ (Extraverted-Intuitive-Feeling-Judging). Both INFJs and ENFJs share the same dominant function, which is Extraverted Feeling (Fe). However, their auxiliary functions are different:
- INFJ: Dominant function - Introverted Intuition (Ni), Auxiliary function - Extraverted Feeling (Fe)
- ENFJ: Dominant function - Extraverted Feeling (Fe), Auxiliary function - Introverted Intuition (Ni)
This means that both INFJs and ENFJs are people-oriented, empathetic, and have strong social skills due to their dominant Fe function. They are often concerned with others' feelings and are excellent at understanding and supporting people.
The key difference between INFJs and ENFJs lies in their introverted and extraverted tendencies. INFJs are more introverted and prefer spending time alone or in small, intimate settings. They may be deeply reflective and need solitude to recharge their energy.
On the other hand, ENFJs are more extraverted and gain energy from social interactions. They are often outgoing, expressive, and enjoy being in the company of others. They thrive in social settings and are natural leaders who can inspire and motivate people.
In summary, ENFJs share many similarities with INFJs, especially in their people-centric and empathetic nature, but they are more extraverted and enjoy being actively engaged in social situations.
