ENFJ (9w8)
Alfred Adler personality type is ENFJ, a preference that is rarer than aces, jacks, kings, etc.
I have thought for a long time that the preferences of each personality type are unique to that type. I think this is because each personality type has distinct needs. The needs of the introverted thinking types are different from those of the extraverted feeling types.
Anyhow, I don’t think ENFJ is a rare type. In my mind, it’s neither rare nor common. It’s just rare to see in a scientific poll whereas ENFP and ESTJ are much more common.
One thing I love to do with my ENFJ friends is to ask them about their type and then compare their results to mine. I’ve identified three commonalities:
They tend to think about their type as if they were a color. They see themselves as belonging to one type and others as belonging to another.
As an ENFJ, I think I am a blue. My friends think I am an orange. We all know each other well enough to know who is who, though we don’t always agree on what color we are.
Alfred Adler (7 February 1870 – 28 May 1937) was an Austrian medical doctor, psychotherapist, and founder of the school of individual psychology. His emphasis on the importance of feelings of inferiority, the inferiority complex, is recognized as an isolating element which plays a key role in personality development. Alfred Adler considered human beings as an individual whole, therefore he called his psychology "Individual Psychology" (Orgler 1976). Adler was the first to emphasize the importance of the social element in the re-adjustment process of the individual and who carried psychiatry into the community. A Review of General Psychology survey, published in 2002, ranked Adler as the 67th most eminent psychologist of the 20th century.
