I tested to be an "ENFJ" which is sociable, sensitive, and organized. It states I am charismatic, persuasive, and ideal for creating and following through with a vision. It also goes on to state I am sensitive to others needs. I find the majority of what the website proclaimed to be quite accurate. I have often seen people look tme for guidance in school, or in the workforce. In fact, I can even remember situations like this in boy scouts.
The cartoon portray playing multiple instruments with three appendages, while the free hand utilizes a calculator with an open scheduling book near by. I find this amusing since I do play a few instruments, but I am a math and science geek as well. The second cartoon porrayed ENFJ's as romantic and relationship focused. This I definately agreed with. The only area I was shocked at, was it mentioned nothing about devotion to athletics of some sort, or perhaps even something to the effect of competitive. Either way, it was still worth my time to do this insight game.
I'm assuming that your shock about a lack of discussion around competitiveness means that you see yourself with this characteristic. I don't remember that Myers-Briggs addresses competitiveness directly. That is more often described in the Type A and Type B personality theory, with Type A as more assertive and competitive and Type B as more relaxed and easy-going. I'm guessing one of the reasons competition doesn't show up in ENFJ is the N for intuition. Competitiveness is sometimes seen as dealing with the five senses and the concrete world (Sensing) more than abstract ideas. However, the Judging aspect of your preference may also account for a competitive drive.
