ENFJs are the benevolent 'pedagogues' of humanity.  They have  tremendous charisma by which many are drawn into their nurturant  tutelage and/or grand schemes.  Many ENFJs have tremendous power to  manipulate others with their phenomenal interpersonal skills and unique  salesmanship.  But it's usually not meant as manipulation -- ENFJs  generally believe in their dreams, and see themselves as helpers and  enablers, which they usually are.   
ENFJs are global learners.  They see the big picture.  The ENFJs focus  is expansive.  Some can juggle an amazing number of responsibilities or  projects simultaneously.  Many ENFJs have tremendous entrepreneurial  ability.  
ENFJs are, by definition, Js, with whom we associate organization and  decisiveness.  But they don't resemble the SJs or even the NTJs in  organization of the environment nor occasional recalcitrance.  ENFJs are  organized in the arena of interpersonal affairs.  Their offices may or  may not be cluttered, but their conclusions (reached through feelings)  about people and motives are drawn much more quickly and are more  resilient than those of their NFP counterparts.  
ENFJs know and appreciate people. Like most NFs, (and Feelers in  general), they are apt to neglect themselves and their own needs for the  needs of others.  They have thinner psychological boundaries than most,  and are at risk for being hurt or even abused by less sensitive people.   ENFJs often take on more of the burdens of others than they can bear.    
TRADEMARK:  "The first shall be last"This refers to the open-door policy of ENFJs.  One ENFJ colleague  always welcomes me into his office regardless of his own circumstances.  If another person comes to the door, he allows them to interrupt our  conversation with their need.  While discussing that need, the phone  rings and he stops to answer it.  Others drop in with a 'quick  question.' I finally get up, go to my office and use the call waiting  feature on the telephone.  When he hangs up, I have his undivided  attention!   Functional Analysis: 
Extraverted FeelingExtraverted Feeling rules the ENFJ's psyche.  In the sway of this  rational function, these folks are predisposed to closure in matters  pertaining to people, and especially on behalf of their beloved.  As  extraverts, their contacts are wide ranging.  Face-to-face relationships  are intense, personable and warm, though they may be so infrequently  achieved that intimate friendships are rare.  Introverted iNtuitionLike their INFJ cousins, ENFJs are blessed through introverted  intuition with clarity of perception in the inner, unconscious world.   Dominant Feeling prefers to find the silver lining in even the most  beggarly perceptions of those in their expanding circle of friends and,  of course, in themselves. In less balanced individuals, such mitigation  of the unseemly eventually undermines the ENFJ's integrity and  frequently their good name.  In healthier individuals, deft use of this  awareness of the inner needs and desires of others enables this astute  type to win friends, influence people, and avoid compromising  entanglements.   The dynamic nature of their intuition moves ENFJs from one project to  another with the assurance that the next one will be perfect, or much  more nearly so than the last.  ENFJs are continually looking for newer  and better solutions to benefit their extensive family, staff, or  organization. 
Extraverted SensingSensing is extraverted.  ENFJs can manage details, particularly those  necessary to implement the prevailing vision.  These data have, however,  a magical flexible quality.  Something to be bought can be had for a  song; the same something is invaluable when it's time to sell.  (We are  not certain, but we suspect that such is the influence of the primary  function.)  This wavering of sensory perception is made possible by the  weaker and less mature status with which the tertiary is endowed.  Introverted ThinkingIntroverted Thinking is least apparent and most enigmatic in this type.   In fact, it often appears only when summoned by Feeling.  At times  only in jest, but in earnest if need be, Thinking entertains as logical  only those conclusions which support Feeling's values.  Other scenarios  can be shown invalid or at best significantly inferior.  Such "Thinking  in the service of Feeling" has the appearance of logic, but somehow it  never quite adds up.   Introverted Thinking is frequently the focus of the spiritual quest of  ENFJs.  David's lengthiest psalm, 119, pays it homage.  "Law,"  "precept," "commandment," "statute:" these essences of inner thinking  are the mysteries of Deity for which this great Feeler's soul searched.
