The ENFP represents the “soul” – the authentic person that you are, not the persona that you present to the world. Jung’s theory talks about “the self” as being a third entity that exists between your conscious and unconscious mind. In other words, the self is a combination of your conscious and subconscious that allows you to have a true identity as a person because it is the combination of both sides.
