Does It Come Natural for You to Put Others First, Based on Your Personality Type
Some people find that it comes natural for them to prioritize the needs of others, and put those people first. For others it is more natural to prioritize their own needs, even if they to focus on others as well. This isn’t about caring for others or working to make them happy, it is about what comes natural for you as far as the needs of those around you. Here is how easily you put others first, based on your personality type.
INFJ
INFJs do naturally focus on the needs of others often above their own, especially when it comes to their loved ones. This isn’t something they need to force themselves to do, it just happens naturally for them. INFJs are so in tune with the emotions of others and so it becomes natural for them to tend to their needs. While INFJs are capable of prioritizing themselves when they take a step back and analyze the situation, this isn’t actually their natural response most of the time.
ENFJ
ENFJs do naturally put others first, especially the people they deeply care for. It is simply their natural response to focus on the emotions and needs of those around them. ENFJs can sometimes neglect their own needs because of this and find themselves solely focused on taking care of others. In order to prioritize themselves, the ENFJ needs to take a step back and analyze the situation. It is natural for them to put others first and to focus much more on what the people around them want.
INFP
INFPs do care deeply for their loved ones and will do just about anything for them, but they don’t just naturally put others first. For the INFP putting others above themselves is something that takes forethought and is a decision they make intentionally. Naturally INFPs are drawn to their own internal emotions and will focus on their desires and sense of morals to make decisions. While INFPs do often put others first, this isn’t something that just happens naturally and instead occurs because they sincerely want to do this.
ENFP
ENFPs don’t naturally put the needs of others first, even though they care deeply for their loved ones. ENFPs are likely to do just about anything to protect the people they love, but that doesn’t mean it comes naturally for them to prioritize their needs. ENFPs are very drawn to their own inner emotions and desires, and so this is what comes naturally for them. ENFPs understand their own inner emotions and use them to most many of their choices in life. While they will be capable of prioritizing their loved ones, this is something they make the choice to do and isn’t just natural for them.
INTJ
INTJs don’t find it natural to put others first, since they are more focused on being efficient and expanding their minds. INTJs are focus on growth and find it natural to prioritize their own needs and wants in life.

For the INTJ it is simply natural for them to put their own needs first, and would require sitting down and thinking about it before changing this way of behaving.
ENTJ
ENTJs find it much more natural to put their own needs first, but that doesn’t mean they are incapable of changing this behavior.

For them it is more natural to focus on their own inner thoughts, simply because they can be so caught up inside of their heads.
ENTP
ENTPs don’t naturally put the needs of others first, since they are more focused on going after their own experiences.
