Im not so sure about ENFP for Jesus, He was more of an Introvert
Theres def more a case for INFJ than for ENFP.
INFJ is the rarest type.
Of course, Jesus was perfect and possibly transecends all attempts to have him as a type. But the Advocate in him is so strong, its way more than enthusiasm. And of course, scripture supports this

You know that Rainbow Connection song?
Made for INFPs.
Im not sure why but I like singing it. Its kind of weird though, for on the surface its such a wishy washy song lyric but it really touches a profound chord in peoples souls.
Also I think INFPS are the types that really seek out these connections. In a black and white world, they want all 7 colours. INFPs KNOW there is something more and better out there.
When God is on his throne theres a rainbow all around Him.

What is really fun to do is have someone who knows you well take the test for you. What do they see coming out of you.
My wife took mine for me....so did my son.
It's not right or wrong....it's just who they see you as....how you relate to those people.
And it gives you insights into how others perceive you.

HSPs apparently are the canaries in the coalmine or the sacrificial lambs
They notice things first before everyone else does due to heightened sensitivity. They might be drawn to caring professions (tradtionally not well paid) and feel the feelings of others...they are people with 'thin skin'
The UK culture and education system apparently tries to breed a bunch of industrial robots that can keep a stiff upper lip and non-reactive demeanour. But that goes against what is natural for HSPs who cant be numbed or told NOT to feel.
HSPs need to learn how to self-soothe and self-regulate because nobody is going to do it for them. Othwerwise meltdown or emotional overwhelm will be common and they can become ill, emotionally. I found this very interesting.
I would say if you are HSP you need a creative outlet. The ARTS and humanities are so important to our existence and wellbeing. if you do subscribe to evolutionary theory, its actually survival mechanism.
in the modern world though that has become based on an agressive market econmy, capitalism etc, these traits are discouraged...its more every man for himself. Thus HSPs dont fit in and are told to change the way they are. This is exhausting for anybody to be told they have to not be who they are to be the same as everyone else, because HSPs are 30 percent of the population according to some studies.
sensitivity is not a weakness, in fact, being highly attuned can be a GOOD thing.
Just some takeaways Ive learned from a book called 'the power of feeling sensitive in a world that doesn't.' by Hannah Jane Walker

Ive read a book about lovebombing..this is very interesting for parents of children who are having problems.
Basically its giving children one on one attention and unconditional love, by letting them be in control in what they choose to do for the day, perhaps taking them out or a stay in a hotel or something for just special bonding time.
This somehow resets their emotional thermostats. So they can self regulate better. Not sure how this differs from other popular psychological interventions like 'quality time' or 'filling up the emotional love tank'.
This might involve cuddling or even sleeping in the same bed as parent, like they did as a baby. I think for anyone who is not the firstborn child, having that undivided attention from a parent is often not given priority. Also, parents relationships with each other and birthing situations do play apart in shaping a childs emotions.
It wasnt long ago that there was a HUGE infant mortality rate and you think well didnt mothers and fathers actually know how to look after their children...well often the sad fact is that they did not. Children were to be seen and not heard most of the time.

Just finished reading The Highly Sensitive Person by Elaine Aron which was the original book on HSPs.
If anyones familiar with attachment theory of parenting I think theres a good case for it just stemming from insecure attachment. If as much as 30 percent of the population is HSP that makes for a lot of parents not knowing how to parent or neglecting their child/baby in their formative years.
The nuclear family model obviously has its limits, not sure what the answer to that is. If people still lived in villges that raised children --as is the quote, 'it takes a village', but most people nowadays do not live in villages they live in tiny apartment block jail cells or isolated in fenced off sections in the suburbs, which are human baby factories pretty much.
anyway, I dont think its good for babies to be isolated and then neglected it places a lot of stress and trauma on their nervous system. To be HSP can have its advantages but in an aggressive 'every man for himself' culture this very much works against them.

apparently I am now also INFJ according to a recent test ... lol
it is the rarest out of the 16 different types.
Instead of being constantly excluded because of being different to the majority I decided to make a club so that others who are also INFP (and INFJ) wont feel so alone. So here are your special badges.
