This &lsquo;campaigner personality type&rsquo; simply means that people exhibiting this genre of the Jung Typology show a preference for the following four characteristics:<\/p>\n\n\n<ol style=\"\" class=\"wp-block-list \">\n<li>\n<strong>E<\/strong>xtroversion &#8211; In their external behavior, they tend to be extraverted.<\/li>\n<li>I<strong>N<\/strong>tuition &#8211; Their internal processing is based on intuition.<\/li>\n<li>\n<strong>F<\/strong>eeling &#8211; Their internal state is a result of their feeling.<\/li>\n<li>\n<strong>P<\/strong>erceiving &#8211; The perceive to shape their adaptation behavior.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph \">The combination of Extroversion, Intuition, Feeling and Perceiving makes people very charming, thus naming them the &lsquo;social butterflies&rsquo; or &lsquo;campaigners&rsquo;.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading wp-block-heading\" id=\"characteristics-of-enfp-t-personality\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Characteristics_of_ENFP_t_Personality\"><\/span><strong>Characteristics of ENFP t Personality<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph \">The ENFP &ldquo;campaigners&rdquo; are warm and enthusiastic, making them good with people. With their free spirit and magnetism, they can fit into leadership roles and campaign for change.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/evolveinc.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/The-ENFP-Campaigner-Personality-825x1024.png\" alt=\"Characteristics of the ENFP Personality type\" class=\"wp-image-6964\" width=\"413\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/evolveinc.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/The-ENFP-Campaigner-Personality-825x1024.png 825w, https:\/\/evolveinc.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/The-ENFP-Campaigner-Personality-242x300.png 242w, https:\/\/evolveinc.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/The-ENFP-Campaigner-Personality-768x953.png 768w, https:\/\/evolveinc.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/The-ENFP-Campaigner-Personality-720x894.png 720w, https:\/\/evolveinc.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/The-ENFP-Campaigner-Personality-150x186.png 150w, https:\/\/evolveinc.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/The-ENFP-Campaigner-Personality.png 1031w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 413px) 100vw, 413px\" \/><figcaption>Characteristics of the ENFP Personality type<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph \">Such campaigners are highly passionate about the work which interests them. Moreover, their ability to think out of the box and read between the lines attracts people towards them. They thus keep the potential to encourage others. The routine tasks which do not interest a campaigner ENFP might make them disinterested. Thus, sometimes, they can be distracted while performing important tasks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph \">The zealous ENFPs like to be organized. The combination of their traits makes their thinking very spontaneous.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-does-it-mean-to-be-a-campaigner\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_does_it_mean_to_be_a_Campaigner\"><\/span><strong>What does it mean to be a Campaigner?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph \">With all the carishma of the ENFP type personality, we should not miss out on the other side of the coin. So, here we discuss the strengths and weaknesses of a Campaigner.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul style=\"\" class=\"wp-block-list \">\n<li>Personal relationships are very valuable to the Campaigners. However, their warmth and the desire to be liked by others makes other people misunderstand them or think of them as &lsquo;pushy&rsquo;.<\/li>\n<li>An ENFP is very good with people. Their wit and creativity adds to their eloquence. Thus, not manipulating others while expressing oneself becomes arduous for a Campaigner.<\/li>\n<li>Even when an ENFP is fun and adventurous, they follow a strong system of personal values. They have a desire to keep all areas of their life in check with this system.<\/li>\n<li>The intuition and perception of a Campaigner makes him get a deeper understanding of the people and situations around him with little effort. Yet, they can overthink and be too emotional.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading wp-block-heading\" id=\"cognitive-functions-of-enfp-type-personality\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cognitive_Functions_of_ENFP_type_personality\"><\/span><strong>Cognitive Functions of ENFP type personality<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph \">Now that you understand who an ENFP is and you might have thought of people around you, celebrities or fictional characters who display the ENFP personality type, let us dive into why Jung characterized the ENFP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"378\" height=\"340\" src=\"https:\/\/evolveinc.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/ENFP-Personality-Type.webp\" alt=\"Characteristics of the ENFP Personality type\" class=\"wp-image-6965\" srcset=\"https:\/\/evolveinc.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/ENFP-Personality-Type.webp 378w, https:\/\/evolveinc.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/ENFP-Personality-Type-300x270.webp 300w, https:\/\/evolveinc.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/ENFP-Personality-Type-150x135.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 378px) 100vw, 378px\" \/><figcaption>Characteristics of the ENFP Personality type<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph \">According to him, all the sixteen personality types have four cognitive functions each. Out of these, the first two functions control a major fraction of the person&#8217;s character; while the other two exert their influence in certain situations.<\/p>\n\n\n<ol style=\"\" class=\"wp-block-list \"><li><strong>&nbsp;Dominant: Extroverted Intuition<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph \">This is a core cognitive function of the ENFP. Having extroverted intuition means that rather than accepting things as they are, a Campaigner opens himself to the world of possibilities.&nbsp; They focus on the relationships they form and are good at &lsquo;connecting the dots&rsquo;.<\/p>\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" style=\"\" class=\"wp-block-list \"><li><strong>Auxiliary: Introverted Feeling<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph \">Introverted Feeling makes an ENFP stay true to his value system. They follow their moral code and think about values and feelings before acting. It is due to this cognitive function that they are highly thoughtful about people.<\/p>\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" style=\"\" class=\"wp-block-list \"><li><strong>Tertiary: Extroverted Thinking<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph \">When an ENFP has to find solutions to a problem, this function enables him to think with logic. An ENFP personality type can sort through information and form connections to solve a problem efficiently due to this tertiary operation.<\/p>\n\n\n<ol start=\"4\" style=\"\" class=\"wp-block-list \"><li><strong>Inferior: Introverted Sensing&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph \">The inferior cognitive function means that this factor is the least strong among all the four. However, it is this function that enables a Campaigner to store information about their experiences with their personal touch in their brain. Thus, they can use this information to relate to their past experiences, form an opinion about the current ones and form an outlook for what&rsquo;s to come!<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph \">To understand what characteristics you exhibit, begin your journey of Self Discovery with Evolve.
