Relationship wise:
A kind of partner that would for anything for the mate. They are often supportive of their partners. Their natural skill of identifying what a person likes and dislikes. Sensitive to their partner's needs. Have a lot of creative ideas for dates and so on.
They are usually loyal and dedicated. They may have the tendency to get bored but will stay in the relationship because their values. They highly idealize their partners; always believing the current one is the best they ever have.
However, if they are not happy or "bored", they will jump from one relationship to another. It is not difficult for an Enfp to bounce back as they are always excited by new possibilities. Enfps believe in fairytales. They dreamt of everlasting beautiful love all the time. They can be romantic too.
Enfps often mistaken that a kind of partner they need is a romantic and sensitive one. However, when they got such partner, it will turn them off because of the fakeness, insincerity and shallowness.
The kind of partner that Enfp would be suitable for is the smart, strong and not a clingy type.
Enfps love sharing ideas, discussing various topics. They enjoyed the company of other NTs, NFs and SPs.
NTs would be more suitable for eNFp because they are usually smart and non-controlling. They give the freedom that Enfp needs and intellectual stimulation. With NTs' intelligence, it would be enough for the eNFp to stay in the relationship as NTs are types that always questions life and find ways to improve on it. Example of NTs would be eNTj, eNTp,iNTj,iNTp.
Enfp needs someone to tell them that they are wrong. They also need someone who is more responsible and organized than them. Someone that gives them a lot of space and not needing them to always be by their side. Someone who is open to new ideas.
Sensors may not be suitable for the Enfp as Enfp speculates and love to explore life a lot with various theories and possibilities. Sensors are more practical people. NTs can make dreams of Enfp to come true by being able to see what an Enfp is seeing.
Okay, before I bore you with the excessive details of what's suitable and what's not. Here's how to identify an Enfp; Always happy. Optimistic. Enjoy helping others. Ask a lot of questions. Encouraging. Deep.
Do you believe that similar types have the similar look?
There is the tall and short Enfp. I'll show you the tall one first.
Sandra Bullock.
Yap Jia Yee
Gwen Stefani
Sasirekha
I am not sure if you can see the resemblance in the facial features. But they have crafty eyes and sharper features than the shorter Enfp.Now let me show you the shorter Enfp look. Well, I obviously fall into this category. =/
That's if I would be look like a Caucasian.
If I were to look like a Korean;
Observe the eyes. The space between the eyes. The wide forehead. The cheeks that seem flawless and full. Jawline not that significant. In contrary to the taller Enfp, shorter Enfps have rounder, wide eyes. Let me show you the last picture of an Enfp whom is a friend of mine.
Her name is Bibi and she is gorgeous.
If you have seen me in reality and have my msn, you would see the resemblance of my eyes, forehead and the cheeks.
I find this findings fascinating.
And thank you my friends who allowed me to use their pictures. :)
