Myers-Briggs typology (2010)

According to the Jungian/Myers-Briggs typology, I am an ENFP – Extroverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Perceiving – and this particular description

(below), available online here, is kind of funny I think and accurate I would say as well. I don't believe, of course, that the Myers-Briggs typology

is an exact clinical science but I find that it is useful. I know that M. Scott Peck valued the typology, and a leading psychologist in Ireland told 

me before that he valued it too.

Detailed description of ENFP

As an ENFP, your primary mode of living is focused externally, where you take things in primarily via your intuition. Your secondary mode is internal, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit in with your personal value system.

ENFPs are warm, enthusiastic people, typically very bright and full of potential. They live in the world of possibilities, and can become very passionate and excited about things. Their enthusiasm lends them the ability to inspire and motivate others, more so than we see in other types. They can talk their way in or out of anything. They love life, seeing it as a special gift, and strive to make the most out of it.

ENFPs have an unusually broad range of skills and talents. They are good at most things that interest them. Project-oriented, they may go through several different careers during their lifetime. To onlookers, the ENFP may seem directionless and without purpose, but ENFPs are actually quite consistent, in that they have a strong sense of values that they live with throughout their lives. Everything that they do must be in line with their values. An ENFP needs to feel that they are living their lives as their true Self, walking in step with what they believe is right. They see meaning in everything, and are on a continuous quest to adapt their lives and values to achieve inner peace. They're constantly aware and somewhat fearful of losing touch with themselves. Since emotional excitement is usually an important part of the ENFP's life, and because they are focused on keeping centered, the ENFP is usually an intense individual, with highly evolved values.

An ENFP needs to focus on following through with their projects. This can be a problem area for some of these individuals. Unlike other Extraverted types, ENFPs need time alone to center themselves, and make sure they are moving in a direction that is in sync with their values. ENFPs who remain centered will usually be quite successful at their endeavors. Others may fall into the habit of dropping a project when they become excited about a new possibility, and thus they never achieve the great accomplishments that they are capable of achieving.

Most ENFPs have great people skills. They are genuinely warm and interested in people, and place great importance on their inter-personal relationships. ENFPs almost always have a strong need to be liked. Sometimes, especially at a younger age, an ENFP will tend to gush and be insincere, and generally "overdo" in an effort to win acceptance. However, once an ENFP has learned to balance their need to be true to themselves with their need for acceptance, they excel at bringing out the best in others, and are typically well-liked. They have an exceptional ability to intuitively understand a person after a very short period of time, and use their intuition and flexibility to relate to others on their own level.

Because ENFPs live in the world of exciting possibilities, the details of everyday life are seen as trivial drudgery. They place no importance on detailed, maintenance-type tasks, and will frequently remain oblivous to these types of concerns. When they do have to perform these tasks, they do not enjoy themselves. This is a challenging area of life for most ENFPs, and can be frustrating for ENFP's family members.

An ENFP who has "gone wrong" may be quite manipulative - and very good it. The gift of gab with which they are blessed makes it naturally easy for them to get what they want. Most ENFPs will not abuse their abilities, because that would not jive with their value systems.

ENFPs sometimes make serious errors in judgment. They have an amazing ability to intuitively perceive the truth about a person or situation, but when they apply judgment to their perception, they may jump to the wrong conclusions.

ENFPs who have not learned to follow through may have a difficult time remaining happy in marital relationships. Always seeing the possibilities of what could be, they may become bored with what actually is. Their strong sense of values will keep many ENFPs dedicated to their relationships. However, ENFPs like a little excitement in their lives, and are best matched with individuals who are comfortable with change and new experiences.

Having an ENFP parent can be a fun-filled experience, but may be stressful at times for children with strong Sensing or Judging tendancies. Such children may see the ENFP parent as inconsistent and difficult to understand, as the children are pulled along in the whirlwind life of the ENFP. Sometimes the ENFP will want to be their child's best friend, and at other times they will play the parental authoritarian. But ENFPs are always consistent in their value systems, which they will impress on their children above all else, along with a basic joy of living.

ENFPs are basically happy people. They may become unhappy when they are confined to strict schedules or mundane tasks. Consequently, ENFPs work best in situations where they have a lot of flexibility, and where they can work with people and ideas. Many go into business for themselves. They have the ability to be quite productive with little supervision, as long as they are excited about what they're doing.

Because they are so alert and sensitive, constantly scanning their environments, ENFPs often suffer from muscle tension. They have a strong need to be independent, and resist being controlled or labelled. They need to maintain control over themselves, but they do not believe in controlling others. Their dislike of dependence and suppression extends to others as well as to themselves.

ENFPs are charming, ingenious, risk-taking, sensitive, people-oriented individuals with capabilities ranging across a broad spectrum. They have many gifts which they will use to fulfill themselves and those near them, if they are able to remain centered and master the ability of following through.

Pádraig Ó Cuanacháin, laoch na Gaeilge, ar lár

Colm Ó Broin, Lá Nua

4 Márta 2008

Cailleadh laoch i measc na laochanna, maidin Dé Domhnaigh, nuair a chuaigh Pádraig Ó Cuanacháin ar shlí na fírinne in aois a 76 bliain.

Bhí cáil náisiúnta ar Phádraig as an sár-obair a rinne sé ar son na Gaeilge i rith a shaoil.

'Fear breá cairdiúil, lán de scéalta agus de ghreann a bhí ann,' arsa a chomhghleacaí i nGael-Taca Chorcaí, Barra Ó Caoimh. 'Bhí sé dearfach i gcónaí agus ní raibh suim ar bith aige i ndrochscéalta. 'Bhí sé go hiontach ag gríosú daoine agus ní raibh éinne níos fearr ann chun daoine a thabhairt le chéile.'

Mana a bhí aige le fada an lá maidir le cur chun cinn na Gaeilge ná nach raibh gá le mórán ach dul amach a labhairt le daoine agus do mholtaí a mhíniú dóibh, agus óna thaithí féin, go mbeidís sásta éisteacht leat agus glacadh leis na moltaí.

Tógadh an tUasal Ó Cuanacháin i gCrosaire Tuirnéir i gCathair Chorcaí agus d'fhreastail sé ar Scoil Chríost Rí agus ar Choláiste na mBráithre sa Mhainistir Thuaidh.

Chaith sé roinnt blianta ag obair do Chomhairle Cathrach Chorcaí agus ansin, d'oibrigh sé mar oifigeach margaíochta le hÚdarás na Gaeltachta ag mealladh tionscail go Gaeltachtaí na Mumhan. Thosaigh sé ag obair sna 1980í le Gaelscoileanna Teo agus chabhraigh le pobail éagsúla chun scoileanna lán-Ghaeilge a bhunú i gCorcaigh.

Thaistil sé ó pharóiste go paróiste ag bunú coistí áitiúla agus bhí baint aige le bunú dosaen Gaelscoil, ina measc, Gaelscoil Mhachan agus Gaelscoil Sheáin Uí Ríordáin.

Ag deireadh na n-ochtóidí, bhunaigh sé Gael Taca Chorcaí chun úsáid na Gaeilge in earnálacha an ghnó agus na tógála a spreagadh.

Is ansin a bhain sé amach clú agus cáil náisiúnta as ucht a chuid oibre ar son na teanga.

'Bhí a chroí istigh sa Ghaeilge agus ní amháin gur chabhraigh sé le bunú Gaelscoile ach sheoladh sé litir agus seic ó Ghael-Taca chuig scoileanna nuabhunaithe ar fud na tíre chun a rá leo nach rabhadar leo féin,' arsa Barra Ó Caoimh.

'An sprioc a bhí aige le Gael Taca ná go mbeadh an Ghaeilge le feiceáil go poiblí ag daltaí agus iad ag teacht amach as an scoil.

'Tá go leor leor siopaí, tithe tábhairne, comhlachtaí agus busanna i gCorcaigh agus rian éigin den Ghaeilge le feiceáil orthu de bharr a ndearna sé, rud a thugann le fios gur teanga bheo í an Ghaeilge,' ar seisean.

Rinne an tUasal Ó Cuanacháin éacht thar na bearta freisin maidir le hainmneacha Gaeilge a mholadh do thógálaithe eastáit tithíochta, agus glacadh lena mholtaí le haghaidh os cionn 400 eastát ar leith, formhór acu i gContae Chorcaí agus i gCúige Mumhan.

Seachas cúrsaí teanga, bhí an-spéis aige sa stair agus bhí saineolas aige ar stair Chathair Chorcaí agus ar an Chéad agus an Dara Cogadh Domhanda.

Chuir sé spéis i gceoldrámaí Gilbert & Sullivan go háirithe, agus bhí suim aige i gcúrsaí litríochta agus scríobh sé go rialta do Ireland’s Own.

Tógfar é ó O'Connor's Funeral Home ag Droichead an Gheata Thuaidh i gCorcaigh go Séipéal Naomh Seosamh in Montenotte ag 8.00in anocht.

Beidh aifreann ar siúl ag 11.00rn maidin amárach agus cuirfear i Reilig Naomh Caitríona i gCill Chúile é ina dhiaidh.

Maireann a bhean chéile, Nóirín, a iníon, Deirdre, agus ceathrar mac: Ciarán, Fergus, Brian agus Colm.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
