I think the technical term may be: “cuteness overload”. 😄
ENFPs have this magical ability to fully disarm the INFJ without even trying hard! It’s almost like they are born with a key that allows them full access to the heavily guarded, locked up, top-secret inner world of the INFJ.
Some signs you may be interacting with an ENFP:
- Engagement is out the roof
- Conversations flow smoothly
- “Finally, someone understands me! WOW!”
- ENFP articulates what you’ve been thinking about, this happens over and over again
- ENFP will call out your BS and see right through your “Mask” but not in a demeaning way – in a cute way lol!
- Very hard to resist the charm
So, while the INFJ motto may be: “Kill ’em with kindness!”, the ENFP motto is: “Kill ‘em with CUTENESS!”.
What is it about ENFP that INFJs are attracted to?
ENFPs are creative and really good at getting people to laugh, even INFJs. ENFPs are also able to get INFJs to come out of their shell more than other personalities because they are supportive and non judgmental. This attracts INFJs because INFJs secretly want to get out of their shell but are afraid to. This is because Ni and Ti are constantly telling the INFJ that they are weird and it’s not smart to open up. ENFPs also aren’t afraid to talk about deep things and will open up with you as well.
I think that another reason INFJs are attracted to ENFPs is INFJs and ENFPs are like a distorted reflection of each other. The INFJ shadow is basically an unhealthy ENFP, and the ENFP shadow is an unhealthy INFJ. INFJs don’t necessarily want to be with someone with the same personality as themselves, but do seek familiarity. They want to be with someone who understands them, but also who is completely different from them. ENFP is one of the only types that fit this description.
Another reason ENFPs are attractive is because they are not afraid to look stupid. INFJs are constantly telling themselves that they have to be a good example and lead through their actions. What they do is important. Don’t. Mess. Up. This is why INFJs sometimes become “different people” depending on who they are around. ENFPs expect nothing but for the INFJ to be themself. ENFPs are also really good at spotting when someone is being fake, and they are one of the only personality types that is able to read an INFJ. ENFPs also understand that it’s better not to pressure the INFJ to tell them what’s wrong right at that moment. They know to check in on the INFJ, encourage them, but won’t force them to explain what’s going on. For an INFJ, just the fact that they noticed means a lot because INFJs are so good at hiding their feelings, but expect others to still know how they feel.
INFJ & ENFP – The most compatible relationship?
INFJs are the rarest personality type in the world. They are idealists, advocates, and dreamers. INFJs are equally idealistic when it comes to romantic relationships. ENFPs are characterized by their charisma and enthusiasm. They are creative, charming, independent, and energetic. When it comes to relationships, ENFPs also bring their enthusiasm. For people with this personality type, relationships are a joyous process of mutual exploration, and a chance to connect with another person. Though INFJs and ENFPs seem like different personalities, they are quite compatible. Watch this video to find out why!
