ENFPs are the zany, restless dreamers of the Myers-Briggs world. Making up a whopping 8% of the population, this type harnesses their energy from pursuing new ideas and inspiring those around them. Here are a few songs that perfectly capture the essence of what it means to be an ENFP:

ENFPs see possibilities everywhere, even within their own personalities. Like Mika, every ENFP knows the feeling of envisioning various versions of their best self and going a wee bit “Identity mad.”

Let’s see – three minutes spent dancing around a dilapidated building asserting that a good heart makes up for a lack of shelter/money, and then a paint war amongst a group of adults who are having vivid flashbacks of their childhood – sounds like a classic case of the ENFP Peter Pan syndrome to me.

ENFP encouraging a friend | Nico Vega  – I Believe (Get Over Yourself)

ENFPs are the most optimistic of any type – they fiercely believe in the possibility of better things for both themselves and the people they love. They live to inspire others through their unwavering confidence that the best is always yet to come.

Self-improvement is the backbone of any ENFP. Though their proneness to distraction may occasionally lead them down the wrong path, they are always keen to get back on the right one – and they will fight their way there through any means necessary.

ENFP taking a chance on love | Air Traffic Controller – You Know Me

“This could be a rollercoaster/But we’re going to make the most of it” might as well be the entire ENFP motto.

ENFP getting lost in analysis | Lost In My Mind – The Head And The Heart

Though their primary focus is external, every ENFP experiences a vivid inner world that occasionally sucks them in. This type is prone to over-analysis, which can sometimes cause them to feel disconnected from the world around them.

ENFP seeking stimulation | Third Eye Blind – Semi-Charmed Life

ENFPs always want more out of life – more stimulation, more excitement, more meaning. No matter how great things get, they are always going to be on the search for a little something else.

ENFP working on their latest project | Queen – Don’t Stop Me Now

Every time two ENFPs meet, the Universe explodes a little. Although this high-energy type needs a more grounded personality to balance them out long-term, the chemistry between ENFPs when they first meet is undeniable – and a little bit out of this world.

ENFP in love |  Hall & Oates – You Make My Dreams Come True

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tJoIaXZ0rw%5D

Every ENFP’s dying wish is to know that they squeezed every last bit of life that they could from their years. They want to know that they have seen, done and felt it all.
