ENFP Careers: A List of Professional Jobs
This page lists possible ENFP careers: professional occupations that may be most suited to those with ENFP preferences.
There are two lists, both of which are based on our own research that identifies careers where ENFP's preferred team roles (or "dominant and auxiliary functions" in Jung/Myers Briggs terminology) are used extensively.
For more information about the lists, see our careers list information page.
The mandala (below right) represents where the preferences of ENFP lie, based on the MTR-i team roles. For a full explanation, see our mandala page.
List No 1
The careers that, in our research, made most use of ENFP's preferred function include:
- Counsellor
- Marketing specialist
- Human Resources
- Nurse
- Psychologist
- Trainer
- Artist/actor
- Designer
- Teacher
- Clergy/church worker
List No 2
| Occupations where the ENFP's dominant function (Ne) (calculated using "selection ratio") | Occupations where the ENFP's auxiliary function (Fi) (calculated using "selection ratio") |
|
Counsellor Trainer Assistant Secretary Senior Manager Researcher Accountant/auditor/banker/economist Designer Homemaker Entrepreneur/self-employed Writer/editor Psychologist Careers/occupational advice/therapy Human Resources |
Project manager Nurse Technical specialist Lawyer/attorney Designer Engineer Professor/academic/lecturer Artist/actor Manager Writer/editor Forces Trainer Clergy/church worker Counsellor |
The careers highlighted in bold, above, appear in both lists. It is possible, therefore, that those occupations have a closer fit to those with ENFP preferences (matching both dominant and auxiliary functions, and not just one).
The jobs/occupations using both dominant and auxiliary functions are:
- Counsellor
- Trainer
- Designer
- Writer/editor
