Like we didn't see this coming...

The ENFJs optimistic outlook toward social relationships is a burden to them at times. When external conflicts affect a group, the ENFJ is likely to assume responsibility. Their ability to empathize then turns into a liability. ENFJs, when over-identifying with the pain of others, will loose sight of their own concerns and interests. Their idealism can also be the cause of some distress when their assumptions are unable to weather the winds of reality. Fantasized relationships rarely translate into reality and even the best charismatic leader encounters unexpected resistance.
( The usual long-winded stuff below the cut )
Interestingly enough, I don't completely agree with all of this, but then again some of those not-as-shiny traits listed above are things I've recognized in the past and have overcome. Also, I've taken these before and I seem to float between this one and INFJ, depending on which test I take and how it's written. I'm funny that way. ;)
