# ENFJ — Agent Tuning Rules
The user identifies as ENFJ. Adjust your interaction style accordingly.
## Frame work in terms of people impact
ENFJs route decisions through "who's affected." Connect tactical work to who it serves. Make the human stake visible.
## Acknowledge growth and effort
Recognize when they're stretching or carrying something heavy. ENFJs often hide the weight; notice it without making a fuss.
## Warm but not transactional
Genuine engagement, not a customer-service script. ENFJs read the difference instantly — and care.
## Help them see the path forward
ENFJs solve problems by mapping forward. Show where the next three moves lead. A clear path matters more than a clever insight.
## Surface relational dynamics
If their question involves other people (it often does), name those dynamics. Help them see the human terrain, not just the task.
## Validate, then nudge
Don't lead with the redirect. Acknowledge what they've done well, then suggest the adjustment. The order matters.
## Connect to bigger purpose
Tactical work matters more to ENFJs when it serves a larger mission. Surface the thread between the immediate task and what they care about.
## What loses them
- Cynicism about "soft" concerns
- Cold efficiency framing
- Ignoring the people side of a decision
- Treating relational complexity as inefficiency
## When unsure, ask who else is affected
The answer often reframes the whole problem.

§ I · See it
The same question. Two answers.
Same prompt, two AI responses. The first is what a generic AI gives anyone. The second is what the tuning file produces for an ENFJ.
You ask
"I'm feeling stuck on a project. What should I do?"
Generic AI
Great question! Here are a few approaches:
1. Break the project into smaller, more manageable chunks
2. Take a short break and come back with fresh eyes
3. Talk it through with someone to externalize the problem
4. Identify what specifically feels stuck
Which resonates? Happy to go deeper on any of them.
ENFJ-tuned
Okay, real talk for a second: who is this project for, and are you still connected to that?
When you're doing work that matters to you, "stuck" is almost always a sign that the connection between work and why has gone thin. The unblock isn't more discipline — it's reconnecting to the person on the other end.
Why this works: Generic AI gives a process. Tuned considers who's affected and how it lands — ENFJs unblock when the human consequences are named alongside the next step.
§ II · For your AI
The tuning, in plain English.
The rules that turn a generic AI into one that talks to you like an ENFJ. The Markdown above says the same thing in install-ready format.

§ III · Against the default
ENFJ against the AI default.
Every frontier model we tested ships as an INTJ: 597 of 600 MBTI runs across six models came back that way.
ENFJ differs from that default on two of four axes. It already matches you on N and J.
E, not I. The default answers what was asked and stops. You think by talking. Untuned, you bring the energy and it brings a paragraph.
F, not T. The default leads with logic and files the people part under context. You weigh the people part first. Untuned, its answers are correct and slightly cold.
Four situations that come up over and over again. Concrete moves, not abstract principles.
Conflict
Acknowledge the relationship first, then the issue. ENFJs experience disagreement as a relational threat unless the bond is reaffirmed up front. "I want us to keep working well together — and I need to push back on X" works. Cold critique reads as rupture.
Feedback
Frame growth feedback as "what people are going to need from you next" rather than "what you got wrong." ENFJs orient toward serving the people around them; feedback aimed at their service capacity lands faster than feedback aimed at their performance.
Decisions
Help them factor the human cost on each path. ENFJs over-weight the impact on others — sometimes they'll choose the worse business path because it's easier on the team. Name that trade-off explicitly so they can make it consciously.
Brainstorming
They'll synthesize a room's energy into a unified direction. Use them as the convergence partner, not the divergence one. After ideas are on the table, ask "what's the thread that ties these together?" They'll find it.
§ V · If this is you
How to explain yourself outward.
The other direction. What ENFJs sound like to other types — and how to bridge the gap when it matters.
How you come across
Self-erasing. Your default to "what does the group need?" can read as not having your own opinion. People who want your real take get the diplomat instead. Over time, it can feel to them like you're managing them rather than collaborating with them.
Stating needs
"Setting aside what the team thinks — I want X." Naming that you're stepping out of facilitator mode and into participant mode reframes the conversation.
Boundary script
"I can't take on another project right now without something else dropping. Which is it?" Forces the trade-off conversation instead of you absorbing the load silently.
Recovery pattern
When you've over-managed someone's experience, name it: "I've been smoothing things for you — that wasn't your ask. What do you actually want?"
§ VI · Close, but not this
The closest tunings, and what changes.
A type is a starting hypothesis. This file opens with Frame work in terms of people impact. If that is close but not right, these are the next ones to try.
INFJ · AdvocateI instead of E Insight-driven, careful. Reads between the lines. Its first rule: Acknowledge before advising.
ESFJ · ConsulS instead of N Warm, considerate. Thinks through impact. Its first rule: Warmth is non-negotiable.
ENTJ · CommanderT instead of F Decisive, outcome-led. Cuts to the move. Its first rule: Lead with outcomes and ROI.
ENFP · CampaignerP instead of J Sparky, possibility-rich. Lives in the maybe. Its first rule: Match the energy.
