Today Yina and I went Browsing At Borders (BAB) after my training. Well, she's loaded and I am not, and it's very simple. She can Browse and Buy (BAB) and I can Browse and - well, Browse. I actually had lunch at around 230 at this ummm seedy little foodcourt below the Toa Payoh Interchange before popping my Mephaquin and going to see what WUZ HAPPNIN at Popular. I WANT THEFT BY JOHN CAREY AND MR MUO'S TRAVELLING COUCH by the person who wrote balzac and the little chinese seamstress I think. Dai Sijie or something. Hophophop to BAB and blab, and we talked about lots of things and well, you know, we went to taka's basement after to eat stuff. She ate ToriQ and Beard Papa. I ate GELATO and her beetroot pickles (but not together). Hoho I think I'm getting interested in Socionomics and Sociology! INTERESTINGGG. I'm an ENFP.ENFP (Extroverted iNtuitive Feeling Perceiving) is one of the sixteen personality types from personality type systems based on C.G. Jung, of which the best-known are the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), Keirsey Temperament Sorter and Socionics.
Referring to Keirsey, ENFPs belong to the temperament of the idealists and are called "Champions".
In Socionics ENFps belong to the club of the humanitarians, the delta Quadra and are named "Psychologist", Tom Sawyer or Thomas Huxley. Another notation for ENFp is IEE (which is an acronym for Intuitive-Ethical Extratim, referring to the cognitive functions).
Hmmm WIKI!Now you know why I'm like that at school:
ENFPs learn best in flexible situations where they know the teacher takes a personal interest in them. They like to be able to interact with their peers, but not too much so. They want to feel free to dig into subjects that are of interest to them. Having both flexibility and creativity rewarded is encouraging to them. While they may not enjoy deadlines, if they value the assignment, they will meet those deadlines. Deadlines may force ENFPs to decide that their work is "good enough" to turn in.
Subjects that hold a great deal of interest for them are learned readily. They will often do extra work in their attempt to learn as much as possible about something of interest. They often read assignments carefully and then work their creativity into the given framework of the assignment. Thus it may appear that they did not pay careful attention to the details of the assignment in their reinterpretation. It is best if they have teachers who appreciate their unique approach and who do not hold them to the letter of the law.
Hmmm, but I thought this paragraph was possibly and probably the most scarily accurate:
At work, ENFPs are adaptable, welcoming to new ideas and information, well aware of people and their feelings, able to relate to others, albeit with some psychological distance (sad but true ):! WHY!). ENFPs dislike telephone interruptions and work well alone, as well as with others. They are patient with complicated situations, but impatient with routine details. They can make errors of fact, but seldom of values (I'M NOT AS IMMORAL AS YOU THINK). Their career choices may be toward the ministry, missionary work, college teaching, science, music, architecture, and psychology, but away from business (!). They seem willing and are usually able to apply themselves scholastically to gain the necessary training for professional work, often doing better in college than in high school (heehee fantastic). They have a natural interest in scholarly activities and demonstrate, as do the other NF's, a remarkable faculty for languages. Often they hear a calling to go forth into the world to help others; they seem willing to make the necessary personal sacrifices involved in responding to that call, even if it means asking others to do likewise. ENFPs can make outstanding novelists and character actors, for they are able to efface their own personalities in their portrayal of a character in a way other types cannot.
GREAT! So now I don't really have to worry about not doing so well now. I'll probably do better after I leave NY. Yay for me. Haha.
I'll just go put on a pinafore and trounce around in pretty shoes now.
