I recently read "Please understand me" and found the idea of temperaments really useful - maybe more so for thinking about others than myself. ENFJ and INFJ would both fall into the 'Apollonian' temperament.
Interesting, I haven't read that book. How does it define Apollonian? I've usually connected that idea with more of a thinking style due the structured, ordering, logical associations of Apollo.
It defines the four temperaments as SP, SJ, NT and NF (Apollonian). It's sort a grouping of MBTI personality types.
NF is tricky to define but it says "While the SPs, SJs and NTs can go after their goals straightaway and at full throttle, the NF's search for self is circular and thus perpetual....The NFs truest self is the self in search of itself, or in other words, his purpose in life is to have a purpose in life.
