Where ENFJs (Protagonists) Stand Out

A scene depicting the Protagonist personality type (ENFJ). An adult ENFJ, wearing a green soccer jersey, stands on a soccer field with three young players, all in matching uniforms. The ENFJ holds a soccer ball and gestures enthusiastically, appearing to be coaching or mentoring the children. In the background, soccer goals and trees suggest an outdoor sports setting. The image conveys the ENFJ’s natural inclination towards leadership, especially in guiding and developing others.

ENFJs (Protagonists) make up 9.3% of test results in the average country, but their share varies from place to place. Here’s where they’re most and least common.
