Why ENFJ leads
ENFJs are warm, persuasive, and instinctively in charge of everyone’s wellbeing. ISTJs (dutiful, methodical, and suspicious of anything that hasn’t been proven) and ISFJs (careful, loyal, and the last to take an unnecessary risk) round out the top three. At the other end, ENTPs are argumentative, novelty-seeking, and convinced the rules are suggestions.
