I've been soul searching recently because I felt as if I was losing myself, and I didn't know what I really wanted to do with my life. I've always been comfortable socializing and being around many people but I still felt kind of off. So, I started researching personality types, took the MBTI test, and then found this site. According to the MBTI, I am an ENFJ. Also, on the Enneagram Type test, I am a Type 3 with a 2 wing: "The Charmer." I look forward to learning more and discussing with everyone.
Hey Guys! I'm an ENFJ. Thrilled to have found this awesome site.

Thank you! @cbellelove, what's the main difference between ENFJ and ENFP?
The difference is in the functions used, and the order of them, under standard cognitive functions theory.
ENFP is Ne/Fi/Te/Si - extraverted intuition > introverted feeling > extraverted thinking > introverted sensing
ENTJ is Fe/Ni/Se/Ti - extraverted feeling > introverted intuition > extraverted sensing > introverted thinking
They would produce rather different patterns of thinking and maybe different outlooks.
@Flatlander, is there a book, site, or post where I can learn more about that?
You're in luck, there's a ton of posts dedicated to cognitive functions here. In fact, an entire subforum. This thread is very useful, but be warned - the articles are quite wordy, and perhaps tough for a beginner. This thread is also interesting and less wordy, maybe better for a beginner. Dario Nardi's cognitive functions test also offers some information after the test..the material may be on the main site also, I forget.
The way the functions work revolve a lot around the dominant - inferior (first - fourth) pair in the function order, so you can also take a look at the "recognizing the inferior" threads posted in Articles subsections.
And I'm pretty sure you can find tons more in that original subforum. Quite a few people post their own interpretations of what the functions are, and their manifestations. Best of luck to you.
Side note, you can "tag" someone in a thread so they get a notification, by one of two ways:
type an @ symbol and then their name, like @Protean
or, for two words or more, [ NOTICE ]Two-word Username[/ NOTICE ], without spaces inside the brackets.
Quoting their post will also send a notification.

Welcome to the forum :happy:
Hey Protean, I am a soul brother (haha) from The Netherlands. And I already have come down the intro-list so far in search of other ENFJ's. Good to find you out here. I sure would like to become a friend because I sense (or is iNtuition) the same goals...
I am like old (56) and you will probably very young; making this observation I do feel a little uncomfortable but rest asure I am here only to find soul mates/friends to share thoughts/better yet Feelings with.
On a practical note, it seesm a little random, but would you become my official third friend so I can easily stay in touch.? Read you around! HH
