Tonight, I just discovered why I like President Obama so much. On the Myers-Briggs personality test, I scored as an Idealist Teacher (ENFJ). Look what wikipedia said about Obama: It has been speculated that Barack Obama is an ENFJ.[11]. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ENFJ. Basically, the President and I are as follows: Read how the intense, enthusiastic, highly intuitive Idealists search for ideal love, longing to find the one perfect ‘soul mate’ with whom they can share their inner lives....[T]hey bring all the power of their imaginations to bear on developing and deepening the significant people in their lives. The authors I have discussed in this volume portray the Idealists search for the perfected life -- and the perfected mate -- with extraordinary insight and sympathy. -- Dr. Stephen Montgomery IDEALIST NFs, being ABSTRACT in communicating and COOPERATIVE in implementing goals, can become highly skilled in DIPLOMATIC INTEGRATION. Thus their most practiced and developed intelligent operations are usually teaching and counseling (NFJ mentoring), or conferring and tutoring (NFP advocating). And they would, if they could, be sages in one of these forms of social development. The Idealist temperament have an instinct for interpersonal integration, learn ethics with ever increasing zeal, sometimes become diplomatic leaders, and often speak interpretively and metaphorically of the abstract world of their imagination. They are proud of themselves in the degree they are empathic in action, respect themselves in the degree they are benevolent, and feel confident of themselves in the degree they are authentic. Idealist types search for their unique identity, hunger for deep and meaningful relationships, wish for a little romance each day, trust their intuitive feelings implicitly, aspire for profundity. This is the ‘Identity Seeking Personality’ -- credulous about the future, mystical about the past, and their preferred time and place are the future and the pathway. Educationally they go for the humanities, avocationally for ethics, and vocationally for personnel work. Social relationships: In their family interactions they strive for mutuality, provide spiritual intimacy for the mates, opportunity for fantasy for their children, and for themselves continuous self-renewal. Idealists [as opposed to Idealist Teachers who are a subgroup of Idealists] do not abound, being as few as 8% and no more than 10% of the population.
