How Each Personality Type Feels About Public Speaking
Public speaking is something that makes most people feel nervous, but some are actually terrified of it. Here is how each personality type feels about public speaking, as well as how good they likely are at it.
INFJ
INFJs often do not enjoy public speaking, especially if it is to a room full of strangers. They might find that they are comfortable speaking to classmates, or people that they know pretty well. Their perfectionist nature can sometimes cause them to overthink every action that they make. INFJs might find themselves worried about how they are being perceived by the people they are delivering their speech to. They will do much better if they are speaking about something they are passionate about, they will find themselves more capable of letting go of their fears. INFJs simply prefer to be around people they know and trust- delivering a speech in this way might cause them to feel vulnerable in front of people they don’t know.
ENFJ
ENFJs are rarely shy people, and they enjoy being around others in a social setting. They might find themselves disliking public speaking, simply because they are perfectionists. The fear of messing up or delivering their speech incorrectly, might make the ENFJ very nervous. They want to do their best, and speaking in front of people can put them in a rather high stress spot. Their desire to please everyone in the audience, can cause the ENFJ to become upset if they notice someone who does not seem to be enjoying themselves. Trying to pay attention to the needs of everyone, can cause them to become rather frustrated. If the ENFJ learns to become more comfortable with the idea that not everyone can be pleased, then they are capable of becoming amazing public speakers. Even if they don’t enjoy it, they have a natural talent for this.
INFP
INFPs have a natural ability for explaining things so that most people can understand them. They can take information and break it down in a simple way, which makes them great presenters. INFPs might find that they hate public speaking though, and become anxious when they are put on the spot this way. If they are asked to speak to a room full of people in a more relaxed setting, they might actually enjoy themselves. Speaking to people they know, is not likely to make the INFP nervous. If they continue to practice their public speaking skill, they are likely to get better at it. INFPs will do best at public speaking if they fully know the topic at hand, and even better if they are passionate about it.
ENFP
ENFPs might get a little nervous when they have to speak in front of a crowd, but even the best public speakers become nervous sometimes. ENFPs are usually excellent at public speaking, and don’t mind being the center of attention in this way. They are especially skilled at speaking if they are explaining a topic that they know very well or are passionate about. If the ENFP doesn’t understand the topic fully, they can often charm others into believing that they know what they are talking about. Not knowing the topic can often make them a little nervous, but it usually won’t be noticeable to others. Some ENFPs might even find that they enjoy public speaking after they become more comfortable with it.
INTJ
INTJs might feel nervous about speaking in front of a large crowd, but they can often overcome this. If the INTJ never attempts to work through this anxiety, then they will become stuck in their fear. INTJs enjoy growing though, and will do best if they can push through this discomfort. INTJs can become great public speakers, since they are good at pretty much anything they work hard at. INTJs do best if they can research the topic for a while, and understand it fully before presenting. They understand that speeches do best if they are delivered in an interesting and passionate tone. INTJs love knowledge, which makes them good at sharing this knowledge with others.
ENTJ
ENTJs are natural public speakers, and usually don’t become too nervous about it. They enjoy being able to deliver information to a crowd, especially if it is something they understand fully. ENTJs can even be good at charming their audience into believing that they know more than they actually do. They are simply good at taking things as they come, which makes them great at relaxing and so that they can deliver their speech. Some ENTJs truly enjoy public speaking, and thrive in an environment where they have a platform to speak and inform from.
INTP
INTPs do not typically enjoy public speaking, especially when they are younger. They might find themselves completely nervous and incapable of expressing their thoughts. INTPs are very internal people, which means it takes time for them to find a way to put their thoughts into words. They are very intelligent people, but don’t always know how to verbally explain their knowledge to others. It takes them some time to process what they are thinking, so that the outside world can understand them. INTPs can develop their public speaking skill as they get older, and might find that they are good at it. Their ability to understand information can make them excellent at teaching others, if they become more relaxed with themselves. The key is for them to stop thinking about the crowd, and just focus on the information at hand.
ENTP
ENTPs are usually excellent public speakers, it is almost a natural talent of theirs. They enjoy the thrill of being put on the spot, and love being challenged in this way. They are often amazing at delivering their information to others in a way that is interesting and informative. Many people deliver speaking in a robotic way, but ENTPs are great at making their speech extremely entertaining. People often love listening to the ENTP speak, and will find themselves engrossed in the information. ENTPs are rarely avoidant of things that scare them, and will charge head first into the experience.

ISFJ
ISFJs can sometimes become nervous if they are forced to be the center of attention. They are good at most things if they have time to prepare, but they still might dislike public speaking. Being forced to perform in front of others, can put a lot of pressure on the ISFJ to do well. They are always concerned about other people, and how they are perceived by them. This can cause the ISFJ to dislike public speaking, and feel like it is simply too much on their shoulders. Over time, the ISFJ can learn to become much better at this, since they do have a naturally calm demeanor which most people enjoy listening to.
ESFJ
ESFJs can sometimes be nervous about public speaking, especially when they are younger. They become anxious when they are in an awkward or uptight environment, and actually dislike being the center of attention. ESFJs usually excel if they are in a situation where they have to speak with others, in front of a camera or computer screen. This is what often makes ESFJs skilled interviewers, since the focus is not primarily on them. Having another person speaking, removes the anxiety and pressure of everything being up to the ESFJ. When they can bounce their ideas and information off of another person, the ESFJ will become much more at ease than if they are speaking alone in front of a crowd.
