  Champion Idealists are abstract in thought and speech, cooperative in accomplishing their aims, and informative and extraverted when relating with others. This type is found in only about 3 percent of the general population, but they have great influence because of their extraordinary impact on others. Strong drive to unveil current events can make them tireless in conversing with others, like fountains that bubble and splash, spilling over their own words to get it all out.
  
  While they strive for emotional congruency, they often see themselves in some danger of losing touch with their real feelings, which Champions possess in a wide range and variety. In the same vein, Champions strive toward a kind of spontaneous personal authenticity, and this intention always to "be themselves" is usually communicated nonverbally to others, who find it quite attractive.
  
  ENFPs are both "idea"-people and "people"-people, who see everyone and everything as part of an often bizarre cosmic whole.
