ENFPs extroverted intuition (Ne) is constantly scanning the environment and looking around for novelty, for stimulation and for new information. We naturally actively observe and engage with the world in order to expand our network, add to our knowledge base, have more experiences, help to connect disparate ideas and bring us inspiration and joy. Therefore, any routine or tedious or repetitive task will cause a severe and immediate deflation of energy, loss of interest and sad boredom quicker than a needle will pop a balloon! For example, just the thought of the word “dutiful” and everything it may encompass sends me into a black hole of hopelessness! LOL!We ENFPs are enthusiastic, ebullient and effervescent partakers in the wonder that is life! Anything that slows us down or keeps us in one place or forces us to choose practicality over inspiration will deflate us more quickly than just about anything else.
Thankfully, there are ways to make necessary, repetitive tasks in life more palatable. Perhaps we can create some sort of narrative associated with the task that will keep us temporarily interested, curious and maybe even inspired, at least enough to complete the project. But, alas, try as we may, such an undertaking is never what we would define as fun.
