Anonymous Protagonist's Personality Style

Personality Type According to AnonymousProtagonist (2016), this writer’s personality type is an “ENFJ-A” (e.g., “The Protagonist”) that translates as “Extroverted,” “Intuitive,” “Feeling,” “Judging,” and “Assertive” (See Appendix B; AnonymousProtagonist, 2016, Your…, para. 1-18).
