    Default ENFj/EIE Subtypes

    I've recently come across an ENFj Ni subtype, and you wouldn't really spot the Fe dominance at first: they look much more introverted than an INFp Fe, for example.

    What's your experience with them?


    ---------------------------------------


    Ethical subtype Fe-ENFj (Fe-EIE)

    Description by V. Meged and A. Ovcharov


    Fe-EIE Appearance:
    The ethical subtype is internally very emotional, but usually modest and restrained in expression of his feelings. Unobtrusive in conversation, tries to behave according to the rules of good tone and manners. Vulnerable and easily takes offense. In his heart and soul he often experiences dramatic emotions, but around strangers hides and tries to control them. It is difficult for him to truly relax, inside he is tense and high-strung, vulnerable and quite self-loving. Has a lot of insecurities, from which he usually suffers but tries not to show this. Outwardly can be proud and unapproachable. Usually secretive and careful, exercises foresight and thinks things over in advance. Somewhat unsure in himself, but has patience and perseverance, and knows how to attain his goals. Very demanding in requiring others to observe ethical norms of behavior, and often cannot hold himself back from making remarks or giving advice when he sees that someone, from his point of view, is not behaving correctly. Characterized by swings of mood. Can be coldly haughty, stubborn, and demanding, then soft, heartfelt, considerate, and even vulnerable and defenseless. Holds himself with dignity.

    i've been thinking i am ENFj lately. but the one i know... is way more outgoing than me.

    but thing is, i REALLY thrive on attention from people. i just had an incident when i was younger that kinda traumatized me.. and made me shy/have low self-esteem.

    now as time goes on, my social anxiety like qualities are vanishing and i'm becoming very people-oriented ... but i'm still extremely shy around people i don't know.

    but when you do get to know me, i can talk your ear off.

    i still think i'm INFp though.

    My sister is somewhere between ENFj and INFp. She might be ENFj. I don't know. Hence, this topic interests me. How to recognize and ENFj who is not organizing a class reunion. What's common among all ENFjs? Are all ENFjs the kind of attention-seeking extroverted ethical rational powerhungry monsters?

    Mhh... my sisters could have Te-PoLR, but I heard somewhere that creative sub might blur the differences between program and role. That would mean that if she was ENFj Ni-sub, she should have a rather strong Te. mhhh.... Any thoughts?
    EIE, ENFj, intuitive subtype.

    @Kristiina

    Regardless of the subtype, as long as someone is ENFj they will still have > preference. The is "strong" only in relation to the other subtpypes.

    Anyway, perhaps this will help:

    From Meged:

    ARTIST

    Intuitive subtype - original creative personality, extravagant and not predicted. It is very inquisitive and talkative. It is sufficiently emotional, we wound vpechatlitelen. It is internally stressed, frequent doubts and fluctuations are experienced, because of what it is sufficiently variable in its solutions. It occurs quick tempered and cuttings. Very artistichen, is emotional raskreposhchen, easily and freely are expressed its feelings. The mood of others feels well and it skillfully it governs. He speaks with a feeling and enthusiasm, even with the enthusiasm. It is very ironic, critical, it is sometimes caustic and haughty. In a good mood it can become the center of attention to any company. It is sufficiently practical, although to it confidence does not be sufficient in itself. The impression of business, active and sociable person is produced. It dresses sometimes uncommonly and extravagantly, and sometimes simply it is modest. The motions are irregular, are impulsive, but not flattened, but stopped up.
    And from Gulenko:

    He is predisposed to reflection, internal fluctuations and doubts. Thinks figuratively, is philosophically inclined. He isn’t so critical to his appearance and food he eats. Reserved, vulnerable, may be even broken, expresses himself softly-softly, he is responsible and punctual. He is a good tutor and teacher, may carry away his students. He is quiet, consecutive in statement of a material.
    So it seems that an ENFj intuitive subtype can indeed make an "introverted" impression.


    And as a bonus:

    ENFj Intuitive subtype: it is inclined to idealize the object of love, it is very touchy, we wound and it is emotional. It strongly survives its enthusiasm and it frequently dramatizes events. Even if it is confident in the reciprocity, it occurs contradictory and not predicted in its behavior. It can be in the intimate life original, passionate and sexual, or suddenly it begins to manifest haughtiness, coldness and tendency toward the inconstancy. There is much expression in the manifestation of the emotions of different nuances. It is jealous and distrustful. Because of the tendency to accumulate emotions, for it are necessary periodic emotional dischargings - quarrel and reconciliations. Commands moderately emotional, thoughtful persistent and initiative-taking partner, who knows how to quiet, to encourage, to inspire confidence in his feelings.

    The good, the bad, and the ugly...somehow, it all seems to make sense now.
    But, for a certainty, back then,
    We loved so many, yet hated so much,
    We hurt others and were hurt ourselves...

    Yet even then, we ran like the wind,
    Whilst our laughter echoed,
    Under cerulean skies...

    You're one of the purest INFp, Fe subtypes I've ever seen. And I'm certain you're my identical.

    I doubt it. I think the majority of the ENFj descriptions are highly flawed. They seem biased and highly dramatized (which I thought was ironic).


    lol my class reunion is any year now. We're all gonna have an anti-reunion in South East Oregon by camping/hiking instead of attending the controlled zergfest of peons non-party party that is so eloquently called a class reunion.

    aww hehe =) this post makes me happy for some reason.

    it's cool how you feel that i'm your identical. i'm gonna go check out some of your posts/threads and see if i feel so as well.

    curious: what about me makes you say i'm "one of the purest INFp, Fe subtypes.."?

    ALSO... the only one thing that makes me doubt I'm INFp is my relationship with ENFps. I get along fabulously with them, as well as with ENFjs.

    Ugh, that's not really necessary as I'm certain you won't identify. Nothing personal it's just that I'm highly conscious of the image I present.

    curious: what about me makes you say i'm "one of the purest INFp, Fe subtypes.."?
    Actually, it's something you said on the now gone intuitive forum. I think it was one of your first posts or the first post. The doubt you had felt was so natural and it kinda felt so natural to be in your position.
    I think you were wondering about something, your type I think, and mentioned some reasons that would not make you that type, INFP, while I just though how ironic it was that those very things make you an INFp. Something about not being the tender sweet little bunny wabit they present as INFP.

    ALSO... the only one thing that makes me doubt I'm INFp is my relationship with ENFps. I get along fabulously with them, as well as with ENFjs.
    So do most INFp-s.

    I'm an ENFj Ni subtype, and my experiences with myself have been very mixed.
    I agree with you, Jadae. In my experience, it seems that many ENFJs aren't strongly expressed extroverts, and thus most descriptions 'over-do it,' to a degree. However, they describe the inner-life pretty well--an ever-swirling, dramatic, lustful tumult.

    Interesting. Im wondering if the subtype can also appear as a P person, in addition to appearing an introvert?

    If the theory-ette of Socionics is true, then I believe subtypes exist. Why? I dont know because Socionics reportedly doesnt not work on a sliding scale. For example, in MBTI, I always score as an Fe primary with overly strong Ni. In Socionics, it is not possible to give functions strength :/ At least that is what the almighty texts say (or I missed something, take your pick).

    lol this guy is hilarious

    And just to confuse you Jadae, Ill add this subtype decsription to this thread:


    Ethical subtype: it is subjected to doubts and fluctuations, it is not confident in itself. It does not love to display initiative in the erotic. It is inclined to analyze behavior of partner. With those, whom it loves - it is sensitive and thoughtful. Rapidly it gets tired from the routine. Is sufficiently sentimental, romantic in the soul. The aim is stable relations, it is constant in its attachments, it is legible in the connections very of vpechatlitelen, it does not pardon roughness and incorrect behavior. The serious, imperturbable, correct and self-possessed partner is necessary to it. This subtype it commands industrious, that knows, what wants that knowing how to scatter any doubts of men.
    That too, sounds introverted...

    I was just discussing that veiw elsewhere! Cool, lol. That does sound like me.


    Im trying to figure out the connections with subtypes but I keep landing no where. This is worse than the rubix cube!

    "The serious, imperturbable, correct and self-possessed partner is necessary to it. "

    I like the idea of someone like this. Someone that keeps to their word makes me feel very secure.

    btw, this all started because my INTj friend declared something to the effect of, "Youre an ENF_ or Im not human." He basically thought the idea of me being an INFj was ludicrous


    .... I miss Pren (aka Pren-ster). I hope he is doing well. The last time I talked to him he still had a 4.0 for 3 years of academics. The academic ho beat me out by .3 points!

    Haha.

    I couldnt imagine myself as a J/rational type(though I know they are not the same...) even though people have suggested it to me before, especially since I usually score xNFP on tests, and behave in a way which would make you think "p" about me if J is organized, methodical, hardworking, planner etc - at least thats the image we get from reading the decsriptions.

    Recently Ive been thinking I could be ENFj myself, especially since I think the socionics decsriptions generally fit me in that regard, including the subtypes(Id lean more towards intuitive, so far as it seems...).

    I originally thought I was ENFp, which may not have been far from the truth after all...

    but Im confused too, lol.

    Personally, I dont think a person's type can ever be defined for sure...unless out of faith, like you beleive in your mind you are this and that type.

    I decided that I would take a break from typing for a while, clear my head for a long time, and then come back when Im really seeing myself differently, and start with a clean slate, so to speak. But its way too addictive, lol! I cant help but thinking about my own type, its a question that wont let me go, even though I dont think I will ever have faith in the answer, if I find it. I feel now that I can look at people in a much more common sense manner, like in terms of their motives, which is more interesting in my opinion. So as far as type is concerned, Im feeling curious, though not convinced of its existence.

    I'll try to translate the ENFj subtypes soon. Maybe that will help.

    I think NF's as a whole are a pain in the ass to differentiate for reasons discussed before. We are such social chamaleons. It is how we survive in that bad ass world out there! Unfortunately it makes us difficult to organize into neat little packages-- especially since we pick up a lot from others in order to blend. Like Expat has inferred before concerning NF's, Fi is easier to spot than Fe is but not by much.

    I'm very strongly rational type. There is no doubt about that, but I seem to have a very low energy compared to ENFjs. From simply my own perspective, I would say that intuitive subtype ENFj is the arrogant power-hungry INFj. Maybe.

    Default ENFj subtypes

    ENFj: Fe/Ni

    Educator- Ethical subtype(Fe), producing subtype.

    The Educator tries to behave in a way that creates social harmony. Even though it is internally turbulent, is appears modest and restrained. It is highly sensitive yet tough so it does not give into the will or control of strangers. Similarly, it's internal turbulence does not give into it's strong sense of pride. It is very complex and stormy but, outwardly, it is proud and inaccessible. It is usually reserved, careful and pre-emptive in it's actions.

    The Educator's rapid change of mood is characteristic of itself. It's mood can easily swing from cold to haughty to obstinate to demanding to soft to sincere to courteous and even to defenseless. Like previous contrasts, it can sometimes act unsure of itself. However, it is very patient as well as persistent and can arrive at it's intentions. It is highly aware of ethical standards of behavior. It frequently speaks about this awareness when anyone breaks these standards.

    The Educator's motions are smooth and somewhat emphasized in order to emphasize meaning. It dresses modestly with decent taste.

    Artist- Intuitive subtype (Ni), creative subtype.

    The Artist is an original and creative personality that is extravagant and not very predictable. It is very inquisitive and talkative. It is highly emotional and sensitive. Due to what it sees as variable solutions, it is internally stressed and has frequent doubts about issues. It can appear very aristocratic in nature. At one moment is may be quick tempered. At another moment, it may be very emotional and expressive.

    The Artist is skilled at governing the moods of others. It speaks with feeling and enthusiasm.. It is very ironic, critical and sarcastic. In a good mood it can be the center of attention to any social gathering. It is sufficiently practical but not practical towards itself. The impression of very busy and sociable person is produced.

    The Artist's motions are irregular, impulsive and jagged. It dresses in an extravagant and outlandish manner but it can sometimes be modest, too.

    This is the part I identified with the most. I'm more Ni-subtype than Fe-subtype for sure. I don't feel very artistic or original or unpredictable, but but the general description is quite accurate.

    No problem. I may change that sentence again. These are just beta versions. A lot is misrepresented in the translations so making them fit together as a whole is troublesome. Sentences like the one you pointed out kind of stick out as strange.

    My dad is actually an educator (retired teacher) but I think he's more the other subtype.

    I thought N subtype was meant to be more mellow and reflective. This descrip makes it sound even more melodramatic than the F subtype.

    My mum is F subtype I think.

    There are so many subtype descriptions everywhere and everyone defines them differently. It seems these descriptions say that:
    *program function subtype is more clearly EJ
    *creative function subtype is so similar to the mirror that she's almost IP.

    This used to be the thing that was talked about in the forum about a year ago, but I think it has changed into this:
    *program function subtype has very obvious program function and they don't put so much emphasis on the role . The border between creative and PoLR however can be rather blurry. ENFj subtype borders with ESFj subtype and it can be difficult to tell the types apart. That's when we need to take a closer look at Reinin dichotomies, Gulenko sexual attitudes, general quadra values and relations. You won't really confuse the subtype with ESTj or ENTj.
    *creative function subtype has very clear creative function and they are probably more likely to have problems with PoLR. The program and role can be rather blurry. Similar to ENTj subtype. Less likely to confuse with any type.

    Now that I read these over more carefully I realize I could be the artist, too. I identify with both but it seemed to me from reading those that the Fe subtype was more reserved and the intuitive was the insane one, ie he was exuberant and extraverted looking.

    I wonder Kristiina, why you think that the Intuitive sounds more IP? He could sound kinda EP to me as well. Am I making sense?

    I agree, it's just a generally percieving-souding description, so it could be either IP or EP. The difference is - there are no EP types that are similar enough to ENFjs to be of any significance in this context. Aside from that there used to be actual talk that creative function subtype resembles the mirror type.

    There is some basis to this talk - I'm ENFj Ni sub and my sister is INFp Fe sub. People who barely know us would see her as more extroverted... She's very active - always running around, doing stuff, so you could almost say "proactive" and I seem to be contemplating about the world and things, trying to figure out stuff, you could almost say "relaxed". Still, I wouldn't switch the types, because I'm clearly ENFj and she's clearly INFp.

    That's what I'd like to meet... somebody who is my dual but doesn't act too extraverted or gushy.

    The 2 ISTjs I know talk more than I do (ENFj-Fe) and, on average, probably say more words per day than my ever-so-annoying-ENFp-ex.

    But get me hyper... and it's all down hill.

    That's fine, as long as it's not all day every day like some extraverts are. Life would be boring if nobody ever got excited.

    When one is around my mum she takes up all the social space, there is no room to just be. Everybody has to be "on", everything seems unreal and kind of tense, as if we were all performing instead of just being together.

    A friend of hers is even more so, she wants everyone to stay forever, when you say you have to go she says "No you don't, now sit down, I'll make you something to eat, would you like some of this bread, this salad" etc. It's very sweet but also totally exhausting. I couldn't live with somebody like that.

    The reason I bring it up is because I used to score as ENFP all the time on tests, and I do think that ENFps can resemble ENFjs as can any quasi identical. Why do you think they dont, exactly?

    Ive known some INFps who are exactly like your sister - if it werent for their INFp vibe you would think them extroverts, because they are so sociable. They also give the impression they are rich somehow, am I mistaken?

    By the way, I am alot like you are, more reflective and dreamy, than sociable and gushy all the time.




    ENFj intuitive subtype, by that description at least is kinda extroverted, whereas the ethical seems more relaxed. Its kinda the other way around in Gulenko's subtypes, which is why I bring it up. It kinda hit me that the intuitive subtype is kinda paradoxal here, for a dynamic type, kinda EPish. I also think that this is not impossible since real people will not look like theoretical dichotomies, in my opinion, they will be some strange mix of characteristics will appear to you as completely natural, asopposed to programmed to fit the dichotomies. But it must be emphasized, for what its worth, that some subtype descriptions seem different than others, perhaps in ways that kinda matter.

    Well Very Ni-one here
    The Description is Right, also from my practice - Ni ENFjs can be not talkative sometimes but in case they forced/choose to do so and in that case they "talking" with very concentrated Fe flow, very intence.

    strange... the extravert type is modest and restraint and the introvert type is more talkative inquisitive and quick tempered

    shouldn't they be switched?

    I agree. I like the house rule that Fe-subtype is the one you could confuse for ESFj and the Ni-subtype is the one you could confuse for INFp. Expat and Rick seriously considered that I could be INFp, so it's safe to assume that I'm Ni-subtype. I can sometimes be quick tempered and I can be inquisitive, but it's not how I would describe myself.

    yep Ni-ENFj can look not so Extraverted at times, its more like "one who knows somewhat/ have something at mind/ keep secrets" , but its kinda-very unpredicatable (but really he is ordered/predictable, cause he acts by following special rules he wants to seed and propagandise) and you can be shocked by very quick switch of action manner. Its very theatrical type and he knows when to be quiet, waiting for moment to act and when to act and attack
    Its like inner timing and like some On-his-own mind guy. But you can recognise him by very strong and intence perception of things that happening around and Fe which is ruled by his inner Ni (time issues/strategies) planning.

    And ... its not like INFp , quiet Ni-ENFj is different and you can recognize him by well-hidden but still noticable hi inner pressure and extreme intence, and move-after-move perfectionality ("Each word and and actions whould be at its own time") and strict following theese timing rules.

    very very true for me. I could be INFp is I wasn't so tense about rules of how and when and why things should happen.

    Another way to separate an Ni-ENFj from an INFp is the ENFj's tendency to change everything/everyone else when something isn't going by plan. INFps would accept what's going on in the world, but ENFj just keeps trying to change the world to fit his vision of it. I still often argue with my ESTj dad, trying to change his views so that we could agree (he does the same thing), but my INFp sister just says, "we have different opinions." and almost never argues with dad.

    i am Ni too ,and i can be inquisitive and quick tempered in case it was "approved" by myself to myself by my Ni-self. Quick-tempering for Ni-type looks more unpredictable and surprising cause most of people cant understan what they can suspec from them till they see it happen. (Si dudses hehe ). Also i am quick tempering with my mom that is ESFj and young (18 y older than me) so when i near her i am more like Fe-subtype.
