ENFJ + ESFP

Sharing two of the same preferences (E & F), these two typically enjoy a relationship that is high-energy, expressive and loving. Both love to talk about their experiences and enjoy a wide variety of friendships. Both have a common virtue of being kind to others and helping people is high on their list of priorities.

The ENFJ helps the ESFP raise his/her professional standards and become better organized so they get more accomplished. ENFJ's also inspire their partners to consider new alternatives and think ahead about possible consequences of their actions - making the ENFJ more accountable and dependable.

Being more playful and impulsive, ESFP's help their ENFJ partners become less rigid and balance their need to be productive with their need for rest.

The main points of contention between this pairing stem from the Judging/Perceiving preferences each have. The J wants things settled, simple and organized (a clean home, a budget to live by, etc.). P's need spontaneity and flexibility and time to assess their thoughts before making a final decision.

Happiness and balance in the relationship can be achieved if both are willing to come halfway between the J and P dichotomies. ENFJ needs to live more in the here and now; the ESFP needs to fulfill commitments and pick up their socks off of the floor!
