ENFJ - First will be Last.

Myers-Briggs Type Indicator(MBTI)

Here is mine ... ENFJ ... this trademark trait comment burns with truth.

"The first shall be last."

This refers to the open-door policy of ENFJs. One ENFJ colleague always welcomes me into his office regardless of his own circumstances. If another person comes to the door, he allows them to interrupt our conversation with their need. While discussing that need, the phone rings and he stops to answer it. Others drop in with a 'quick question.' I finally get up, go to my office and use the call waiting feature on the telephone. When he hangs up, I have his undivided attention!

I printed out the following statement in bold 26pt font and taped it to my screen; Last is First.

We'll see if that helps.

Okay Marty,

Here now I'm reading a 3rd post and IT TOO can be related to ADD. I happened to be an ENFJ when I was younger, now I'm an INFJ/P.

But anyway, I relate! And it's very ADD to be distracted by what and who-ever come in next. I know we have an empathy factor, but it's also ADD at work, methinks.
