The order of dominance for your different preferences is:

The ENFP's intuitive preference is extraverted so s/he will want to test out his or her ideas in the external world. This type is hard to pin down because it is a very flexible type, following new insights and possibilities as they arise. It tends to be future-focused and enjoys change, challenge and variety.

The ENFP has a tendency to be more interested in exploring ideas than bringing them to closure, and is at his or her best dealing with patterns and possibilities: a strategist.

As a partner, the ENFP can be stimulating and exciting but also disappointing because of his or her tendency not to finish what s/he's started. Although ENFPs can act as a change catalyst, they must guard against involving themselves in too many projects. They may also go off on tangents and tend to overlook material factors such as costs in their explorations.

One area for growth would be for ENFPs to develop more of a sense of organization, to bring some weight into their creative endeavours.

Under stress, the ENFP might tend toward being pedantic, critical and excessive. Their innate restlessness can show itself in a form of bullying resentment of their colleagues.

This type is best summed up by Isabel Briggs Myers: "They may be inspiring teachers, scientists, artists, advertising or salespeople, or almost anything they want to be."

Jobs for ENFPs include:

Journalist, screenwriter, musician, marketing consultant, advertising creative director, strategic planner, art/drama teacher, psychologist, physical therapist, consultant, restauranteur, inventor, sales person.
