Dual (At least one or more preferences that fall in the middle):
The ENFP/ENFJ whereas the ENFP is naturally observant, combined with the “J” preference they are more insightful because they tend to pay more attention due to being better organized. To be clear, the ENFP is already observant in their own right and can know innately when something is going to happen. ENFP/ENFJ’s are not as spontaneous and prefer to have a loose schedule.
The ENFP/INFP is more reserved in their social interactions and will pick and choose which social events they want to attend. They also make better listeners and have a fewer circle of friends. A good example of an ENFP/INFP could be a psychology professor – they really care about their students and want the best for them, however they may struggle with organization and sometimes come across as the “mad scientist”- or in their case, the “ mad social scientist.”
