• Some years ago I did test which was similar to Jung's Myers test, but in Lithuanian. Results showed the same  type of personality - ENFP.
• This type of people can influence others, because they have huge conditioning to other people. This kind of people tries to be authentic and to act spontaneous.
• Bad side:  this type of people see themselves as not original enough and thinks that are too much spontaneous. This causes downgrade in their self - respect.
