Like the other Idealists, Champions are rather rare, say two or three percent of the population, but even more than the others they consider intense emotional experiences as being vital to a full life. Champions have a wide range and variety of emotions, and a great passion for novelty. They see life as an exciting drama, pregnant with possibilities for both good and evil, and they want to experience all the meaningful events and fascinating people in the world. The most outgoing of the Idealists, Champions often can't wait to tell others of their extraordinary experiences. Champions can be tireless in talking with others, like fountains that bubble and splash, spilling over their own words to get it all out. And usually this is not simple storytelling; Champions often speak (or write) in the hope of revealing some truth about human experience, or of motivating others with their powerful convictions. Their strong drive to speak out on issues and events, along with their boundless enthusiasm and natural talent with language, makes them the most vivacious and inspiring of all the types.



Fiercely individualistic, Champions strive toward a kind of personal authenticity, and this intention always to be themselves is usually quite attractive to others. At the same time, Champions have outstanding intuitive powers and can tell what is going on inside of others, reading hidden emotions and giving special significance to words or actions. In fact, Champions are constantly scanning the social environment, and no intriguing character or silent motive is likely to escape their attention. Far more than the other Idealists, Champions are keen and probing observers of the people around them, and are capable of intense concentration on another individual. Their attention is rarely passive or casual. On the contrary, Champions tend to be extra sensitive and alert, always ready for emergencies, always on the lookout for what's possible.

Champions are good with people and usually have a wide range of personal relationships. They are warm and full of energy with their friends. They are likable and at ease with colleagues, and handle their employees or students with great skill. They are good in public and on the telephone, and are so spontaneous and dramatic that others love to be in their company. Champions are positive, exuberant people, and often their confidence in the goodness of life and of human nature makes good things happen.




Joan Baez, Phil Donahue, Paul Robeson, Bill Moyer, Elizibeth Cady Stanton, Joeseph Campbell, Edith Wharton, Sargent Shriver, Charles Dickens, and Upton Sinclair are examples of Idealist Champions

[The following comes partially from the archetype, but mostly from my own dealings with ENFPs.]



General: ENFPs are both "idea"-people and "people"-people, who see everyone and everything as part of an often bizarre cosmic whole. They want to both help (at least, their own definition of "help") and be liked and admired by other people, on bo th an individual and a humanitarian level. They are interested in new ideas on principle, but ultimately discard most of them for one reason or another.



Social/Personal Relationships: ENFPs have a great deal of zany charm, which can ingratiate them to the more stodgy types in spite of their unconventionality. They are outgoing, fun, and genuinely like people. As SOs/mates they are warm, affectionate (l ots of PDA), and disconcertingly spontaneous. However, attention span in relationships can be short; ENFPs are easily intrigued and distracted by new friends and acquaintances, forgetting about the older ones for long stretches at a time. Less mature ENFPs may need to feel they are the center of attention all the time, to reassure them that everyone thinks they're a wonderful and fascinating person.



ENFPs often have strong, if unconvential, convictions on various issues related to their Cosmic View. They usually try to use their social skills and contacts to persuade people gently of the rightness of these views; his sometimes results in their negle cting their nearest and dearest while flitting around trying to save the world.

Work Environment: ENFPs are pleasant, easygoing, and usually fun to work with. They come up with great ideas, and are a major asset in brainstorming sessions. Followthrough tends to be a problem, however; they tend to get bored quickly, especially if a newer, more interesting project comes along. They also tend to be procrastinators, both about meeting hard deadlines and about performing any small, uninteresting tasks that they've been assigned. ENFPs are at their most useful when working in a group w ith a J or two to take up the slack.



ENFPs hate bureaucracy, both in principle and in practice; they will always make a point of launching one of their crusades against some aspect of it.

Extraverted iNtuitive Feeling Perceiving

by Joe Butt



ENFPs are friendly folks. Most are really enjoyable people. Some of the most soft-hearted people are ENFPs.



ENFPs have what some call a "silly switch." They can be intellectual, serious, all business for a while, but whenever they get the chance, they flip that switch and become CAPTAIN WILDCHILD, the scourge of the swimming pool, ticklers par excellence. Som etimes they may even appear intoxicated when the "switch" is flipped.



One study has shown that ENFPs are significantly overrepresented in psychodrama. Most have a natural propensity for role-playing and acting.



ENFPs like to tell funny stories, especially about their friends. This penchant may be why many are attracted to journalism. I kid one of my ENFP friends that if I want the sixth fleet to know something, I'll just tell him.



ENFPs are global learners. Close enough is satisfactory to the ENFP, which may unnerve more precise thinking types, especially with such things as piano practice ("three quarter notes or four ... what's the difference?") Amazingly, some ENFPs are adept at exacting disciplines such as mathematics.



Friends are what life is about to ENFPs, moreso even than the other NFs. They hold up their end of the relationship, sometimes being victimized by less caring individuals. ENFPs are energized by being around people. Some have real difficulty being alone , especially on a regular basis.



One ENFP colleague, a social worker, had such tremendous interpersonal skills that she put her interviewers at ease during her own job interview. She had the ability to make strangers feel like old friends.



ENFPs sometimes can be blindsided by their secondary Feeling function. Hasty decisions based on deeply felt values may boil over with unpredictable results. More than one ENFP has abruptly quit a job in such a moment.



Functional Analysis:



Extraverted iNtuition

The physical world, both geos and kosmos, is the ENFP's primary source of information. Rather than sensing things as they are, dominant intuition is sensitive to things as they might be. These extraverted intuitives are most adept with patterns and connections. Their natural inclination is toward relationships, especially among people or living things.

Intuition leans heavily on feeling for meaning and focus. Its best patterns reflect the interesting points of people, giving rise to caricatures of manner, speech and expression.



Introverted Feeling

Auxiliary feeling is nonverbally implied more often than it is openly expressed. When expressed, this logic has an aura of romance and purity that may seem out of place in this flawed, imperfect world. In its own defense, feeling judgement frequently and fleetly gives way to humor. ENFPs who publicize their feelings too often may put off some of the crowd of friends they naturally attract.

Extraverted Thinking

Thinking, the process which runs to impersonal conclusions, holds the extraverted tertiary position. Used on an occasional basis, ENFPs may benefit greatly from this ability. Less mature and lacking the polish of higher order functions, Thinking is not well suited to be used as a prominent function. As with other FP types, the ENFP unwary of Thinking's limitations may find themselves most positively mistaken.

Introverted Sensing

Sensing, the least discernible ENFP function, resides in the inner world where reality is reduced to symbols and icons--ideas representing essences of external realities. Under the influence of the ever-present intuition, the ENFP's sensory perceptions are in danger of being replaced by hypothetical data consistent with pattern and paradigm. When it is protected and nourished, introverted sensing provides information about the fixed. From such firm anchoring ENFPs are best equipped to launch into thousands of plausibilities and curiosities yet to be imagined.

Perhaps the combination of introverted Feeling and childlike introverted Sensing is responsible for the silent pull of ENFPs to the wishes of parents, authority figures and friends. Or perhaps it's the predominance of indecisive intuition in combination with the ambiguity of secondary Fi and tertiary Te that induces these kind souls to capitulate even life-affecting decisions. Whatever the dynamic, ENFPs are strongly influenced by the opinions of their friends.

I shared this more than a year ago...nasaan na kaya ako ngayon??

5 Apr 2009

It will be a year soon since I decided to move here to Singapore to advance my career and my plans for my family. I can vividly remember the Good Friday I was serving in Ligaya - and it was at that time I was certain I was moving somewhere else, not certain it was going to be Singapore yet at that time - but I knew God was starting to grant my prayers already as early as the Holy week. Sobra akong umiiyak nun - for some reason, I knew I would only be counting weeks before everything unfolds.




Last year started very promising, full of hope and excitement. Sabi kase ni God sa akin nung simbang gabi nun "sing a new song of praise". *Kamot ulo* - that meant I have to move out of my comfort zone. It became clear to me then I had to challenge my current position and see where else I can grow and how else I can serve Him. God wanted more of me and I willingly obliged. God always pushed me to make a choice - something I dreaded because I did not want mistakes - I did not want to fail. BUT - I had to make a choice. So how was I going to do it? The year before I have been praying for some career advancement. I chose to use that as my jump-off point because that certainly meant "change". I explored more challenging opportunities in the Philippines then but to nothing looked attractive so I decided to widen my scope. Naghanap na ako ng opportunities abroad. It made sense. I had plans for my family and for myself and the opportunities abroad at that time proved to be promising for me.



Things stirred faster than I imagined. In the middle of everything, I felt fear though. I was afraid of a lot of things. I was afraid I will not be able to adjust to the new set-up. I was afraid I will miss my familly (even if I have lived quite indepedently for a long time - I still think moving into another country meant it was harder to see them). I was afraid I will not have close friends in the new place. I was afraid I will miss the friends I have built very strong relationships with in the Phils. I was afraid I will not survive the pressures of work. I was afraid I will bury myself in work and will not have time to pray, and eventually will not know how to pray because it has evaded my daily routine. But everytime I pray - I was assured I was making the right choice, that He will be there with me.



Because I knew God would always be faithful to His word, to his promise, I suddenly panicked. I wanted to experience everything I knew I was going to miss while I'm away. So in effect - I attended everything. I attended all the possible retreats, recollections, services I can possibly attend - Women's retreat, Ateneo alumni retreat, Ligaya recollections, Junior Young Adults camp, Triduum activities sa Ligaya, etc. Nag-maid of honor pa ako days before leaving. I met up with everyone I knew I was not going to see for a while. All the documents I had to prepare, all the things I had to pack to move back to Bacolod, all the things I borrowed I had to return - all these I had to attend to. I was soooo tired. But spirit-filled. I filled myself as much as I can.



Coming here was something I never imagined or dreamed for myself. So you can probably imagine my first weeks here - I was so dazed, spaced - and just somewhere else, not to mention - I can never make out the conversations I usually found myself in (as I would usually put it - para akong LIVE na nanunuod ng korean telenovela na walang subtitles). BUT, this is what I chose and a lot has already happened and been changing in me since, both in my career and my prayer life. I'm very much thankful to Lingkod for all the support they have extended me. Roller-coaster is how i would describe all the things and changes I have seen. But I'm still riding it, challenging but I choose to be riding it. I hope God is smiling though. I may be growing a bit slower but I'm still praying, I still know how.



Have a blessed holy week ahead everyone!

Joni
