Personality Assessment

Portrait of an ENFP - Extraverted iNtuitive Feeling Perceiving(Extraverted Intuition with Introverted Feeling)
The Inspirer
As an ENFP, your primary mode of living is focused externally, where you take things in primarily via your intuition. Your secondary mode is internal, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit in with your personal value system.
ENFPs are warm, enthusiastic people, typically very bright and full of potential. They live in the world of possibilities, and can become very passionate and excited about things. Their enthusiasm lends them the ability to inspire and motivate others, more so than we see in other types. They can talk their way in or out of anything. They love life, seeing it as a special gift, and strive to make the most out of it.
ENFPs have an unusually broad range of skills and talents. They are good at most things which interest them. Project-oriented, they may go through several different careers during their lifetime. To onlookers, the ENFP may seem directionless and without purpose, but ENFPs are actually quite consistent, in that they have a strong sense of values which they live with throughout their lives. Everything that they do must be in line with their values. An ENFP needs to feel that they are living their lives as their true Self, walking in step with what they believe is right. They see meaning in everything, and are on a continuous quest to adapt their lives and values to achieve inner peace. They're constantly aware and somewhat fearful of losing touch with themselves. Since emotional excitement is usually an important part of the ENFP's life, and because they are focused on keeping "centered", the ENFP is usually an intense individual, with highly evolved values.
An ENFP needs to focus on following through with their projects. This can be a problem area for some of these individuals. Unlike other Extraverted types, ENFPs need time alone to center themselves, and make sure they are moving in a direction which is in sync with their values. ENFPs who remain centered will usually be quite successful at their endeavors. Others may fall into the habit of dropping a project when they become excited about a new possibility, and thus they never achieve the great accomplishments which they are capable of achieving.
Most ENFPs have great people skills. They are genuinely warm and interested in people, and place great importance on their inter-personal relationships. ENFPs almost always have a strong need to be liked. Sometimes, especially at a younger age, an ENFP will tend to be "gushy" and insincere, and generally "overdo" in an effort to win acceptance. However, once an ENFP has learned to balance their need to be true to themselves with their need for acceptance, they excel at bringing out the best in others, and are typically well-liked. They have an exceptional ability to intuitively understand a person after a very short period of time, and use their intuition and flexibility to relate to others on their own level.
Because ENFPs live in the world of exciting possibilities, the details of everyday life are seen as trivial drudgery. They place no importance on detailed, maintenance-type tasks, and will frequently remain oblivous to these types of concerns. When they do have to perform these tasks, they do not enjoy themselves. This is a challenging area of life for most ENFPs, and can be frustrating for ENFP's family members.
An ENFP who has "gone wrong" may be quite manipulative - and very good it. The gift of gab which they are blessed with makes it naturally easy for them to get what they want. Most ENFPs will not abuse their abilities, because that would not jive with their value systems.
ENFPs sometimes make serious errors in judgment. They have an amazing ability to intuitively perceive the truth about a person or situation, but when they apply judgment to their perception, they may jump to the wrong conclusions.
ENFPs who have not learned to follow through may have a difficult time remaining happy in marital relationships. Always seeing the possibilities of what could be, they may become bored with what actually is. The strong sense of values will keep many ENFPs dedicated to their relationships. However, ENFPs like a little excitement in their lives, and are best matched with individuals who are comfortable with change and new experiences.
Having an ENFP parent can be a fun-filled experience, but may be stressful at times for children with strong Sensing or Judging tendancies. Such children may see the ENFP parent as inconsistent and difficult to understand, as the children are pulled along in the whirlwind life of the ENFP. Sometimes the ENFP will want to be their child's best friend, and at other times they will play the parental authoritarian. But ENFPs are always consistent in their value systems, which they will impress on their children above all else, along with a basic joy of living.
ENFPs are basically happy people. They may become unhappy when they are confined to strict schedules or mundane tasks. Consequently, ENFPs work best in situations where they have a lot of flexibility, and where they can work with people and ideas. Many go into business for themselves. They have the ability to be quite productive with little supervision, as long as they are excited about what they're doing.
Because they are so alert and sensitive, constantly scanning their environments, ENFPs often suffer from muscle tension. They have a strong need to be independent, and resist being controlled or labelled. They need to maintain control over themselves, but they do not believe in controlling others. Their dislike of dependence and suppression extends to others as well as to themselves.
ENFPs are charming, ingenuous, risk-taking, sensitive, people-oriented individuals with capabilities ranging across a broad spectrum. They have many gifts which they will use to fulfill themselves and those near them, if they are able to remain centered and master the ability of following through.

Day 89

Well today has been a long day and Im pretty pissed off at the way we played, me especially, so Ill keep this quick. We had a really long day of leaving for the airport at 545am..then flying for an hour..switching planes,, then flying for another hour..then found a place for lunch..then went straight to the game..so our schedule was pretty tight. We played Engenholm..I think the est team in the league..Most of their players play on the national team here. So we played really well in the first gameand lost 25 20..and then it went downhill from there..the next 2 games were 25 12. Awful. So im really really upset with our inability to compete tonight. Ugh. Aanyway..and after the game dinner was a little frustrating too. We spent soe tie getting lost..then finally found someplace to eat..but it wasnt where Anders wanted, so we spend 20 minutes walking around until we found this little place that served us barely any food at all. Evryone was still hungry. So we ended up spending some more tme cause we went to the grocery store to get more food..I was so ready to slee by the tim we got to the hotel..but we ended up having a team meetin when we got there..SO ya..K tommorow WILL go better for us. ore Later!
xoxo Kerri

Day 88

Tommorow I have a ton to do to.so im gonna take it easy tonight and worry about everything tomorow..Well ore later!
xoxo Kerri

Day 86

Well today I woke up feeling pretty sick..my throat kind of hurt last night, but all day today it has felt worse. This morning I went over to my friend Mac's house to have breakfast and hang out which was fun..but wasnt feelin so great, so I went to ICA and got some ice cream for my throat. As I was leaving the parking lot I heard someone call my name..It was this woman I had met at one of my games. Shes A merican and lives here..shes a pastor at one of the churches. Her husband is swedish and so she moved here from Minnesota awhile ago. So she gave me a ride home. She's really nice. She said she wants to have me over for dinner soon and we can go snowmobiling:) She also said she wants to set me up with her son? haha I was like hmm..ok sure? haha so we'll see how thaaat goes:) Anyway..so all day Ive just been laying in bed with a cup of tea, watching the best show ever..the office:) God I love that show..I laugh out loud like every 2 seconds..which makes me have a little coughing fit..maybe the office isnt the best idea for when im sick afterall haha..Then I went to practice because I feel absolutely worthless..first my back, now Im sick..what the hell. The American woman (I forgot her name..oops) said that her first year here, she was sick all the time..and that just in general, everyone is sick all the time..that because its such a small town, everyone just passes everything around..awesome. So i went to practice today and watched a little bit, then was feeling really shitty..so i went home and am back in bed. Now its my throat and Im getting a cold:( I just read an email from my sis Noelle, so that made my day..to know shes doing well and my neice and my nephew are good:) I cant wait until the day when I finally get to see them:) :) :) Anyway..I feel like shit so Im going to bed now..hopefully i feel better tommorow..its our day off. K More later!
xoxo Kerri

Day 85

Today we had practice..which I sat out of because of my back..so that was fun..not. I would so much rather be practicing. im so annoyed. Anyway, Im gonna go to bed early tonight..sorry this is so short! More Later!
xoxo Kerri

Day 84

Today we had weights..I didnt really do too much though, mostly lower body because my back has still been hurting me pretty bad..and I had an appt with the chiropracter. He said the right side of my back was really swollen and that i pulled the muscle close to my spine and it was bleeding and thats why it hurts when I breathe. So that wasn't fun news. But he said I just need to rest..so basically no practice for tommorow and maybe the next day..and then try practicing on Friday with Kinesio tape on my back. Kinesio tape is this really stretchy tape that moves with you, but helps control the movement of your muscles..so it should help my back. After that I went home and my friend came over and watched a couple movies with me to keep me company:) K well More later!
xoxo Kerri

Day 83

Today I went over to Oke's house (our asst coach Ann's husband), and since he's our unofficial trainer..he gave me a massage to try and fix my back. I did something to it during our game yesterday. It felt like I pulled a muscle..and it hurts really bad everytime I breathe..so not good. Anyway he tried to help me for like an hour and nothing was working..my back just hurt even worse from him pushing really hard on it. So after that I went back home and tried to rest for a little before practice..So at practice we each had a meeting with Anders and Ann about our individual goals for the rest of the season..and while some of us were in meetings, the rest of the team played back row attack..so we ended up playing that for the whole 2 hours..which was not good for my back..I definetely shouldnt have practiced. My meeting went well though.. I said my offensive goal was to be up and available to hit every ball, and also to be consistent at putting balls away so that Josephine trusts that when she sets me, we will score. Then my defensive goal was to be bigger in my block and to really penetrate the net. So for the next 8 weeks..this is where my focus will be:) K More Later!
xoxo Kerri

Day 82

Well today was definetely not a good day. It started off good..we had practice at 930am..which went well..then lunch with the team..then our game against Lindesberg. We were up 2 games to none..the second game we killed them..25-10..and then we lost the 3rd game and played horrible in the 4th and 5th set. It was really really bad. I got 1 set in the 5th game..so that was awesome...ya it was unbelievable really..i was just shocked and pissed after the game and didnt want to talk to anyone. All I wanted to do was go home and throw something against the wall..but instead..after every game we have to help clean up the gym..which is fine usually..when we win..but yesterday i was just so annoyed..then on top of that..we had a frakin hour team meeting about the game..uggggggghhhh..I was so mad still that i couldnt think..and definetely didnt want to talk..So ya it was a pretty shitty day. After the game i came home and went on skype to see if i could talk to Jordana..I ended up calling her and talking to her for awhile..She was having an even worse day than I was and it made me wish I was in Florida with her:( I hate it when she's sad:( So ya talked to her forever..and then I needed to get out of the house because i was driving myself crazy thinking about the damn game..so I went and hung out with my friend for awhile..K well more later!
xoxo Kerri

Day 81

I took a much needed shower and then Tina came over, we went to the store and got some food..then watched the Friends marathon on tv all day:) So it was pretty fun. So I made my New years resolution..its kind of vague but basically I want to do the right thing in life..try and stay on the right track and make good decisions..keep my family and friends close to me and be good at keeping in touch..and in volleyball, I want to get better every single day. So those are my goals:) Everyday I want to wake up and make that day really mean something..whether I learn a new swedish word, read a great quote from a book, or improve my block in vball..so ya:) But right now I'm going to go to bed becuase im really tired..it's only like 11:30 so thats progress for me for sure..i'm 4 hours awhead of when i was goin to bed a couple weeks ago:) Annnyway..Happy New Year everyone!

Well yesterday was New Years Eve and it was sooo much fun!!! I woke up early and went over to Macs house cause we had a coffee date:) Then I got ready and packed for our trip. There was a group of like 20 of us who went out to a secluded cabin in the woods. They rented this huge cabin. It was so nice.. I went with Freja, Carro, Yvonne, Frank and a bunch of other people. It was so much fun. Definetely the best new years i've had in awhile:) We got there and it was completely in the middle of nowhere..no electricity..we had candles everywhere..it looked so pretty.. and little lanterns outside. There was a huge table and we all had a candlelit dinner and made some New Years swedish toasts;) Freja made moose meat and potato salad..it was really good.. it was really nice..so ya we ate dinner and there was a hot tub and a sauna so we all did that which was really fun..then we set off fireworks..ya it was really really fun:) So ya I'm pretty tired today..we were up pretty late..I didnt make a New Years resolution yet..but im gonna make one today..so i'll brainstorm..but ya last night was really reaooy fun..im happy i went with everyone out there:) K more later!
