“In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.”
-Anne Frank

If that quote caused you to twitch with unexpected emotion, given the context of the speaker…then you recognize the power and importance of Women of Valor in the world. In Judaism, women of valor are known as eshet chayil and they are given the highest esteem. Throughout history, Women of Valor are people of extraordinary hope and resolve, inspiring change by both their written words and unorthodox actions. You share this psychology. Historically, your form of activism is rarely aligned with organized protests and bullhorn speeches and that’s because you generally distrust group-think. A Woman of Valor typically prefers the kind of activism rooted in the way they live their lives. They lead by example and model the behavior for change and change follows behind them. The Woman of Valor is a self-made historical figure, whose strategies and outlook are avant-garde. She might come from nothing or from within the ranks of high royalty. The personality is equally great.

One interesting aspect that recurs with Women of Valor is that these women often break the taboos of their native culture and redirect social norms. History bends around women of your personality. You alone are often the beautiful catalyst for real change in society. Think about that for a moment. Your historical personality carries the seeds for societal growth. You tend to defend the time-tested aspects of a culture in order to spearhead the real changes that are needed. It’s in your psychological makeup! You have the uncanny ability to break the mold from within and start something original and fresh. Many examples of this personality type aren’t always part of the in-crowd and may even quarrel with the high elders of the status quo. Your imaginative and extroverted dimensions cause you to be ill-at-ease with anything that expects conformity and so you set out to seek a greater destiny far from home. Therefore, you have a hard time adapting to existing systems and simply invent new ones, no matter how difficult or uncharted. Although you’re almost always willing to go it alone, the solitary heroic quest you undertake needs company. Women of Valor are still social animals, but good help is hard to find when you’re the vanguard for change. Not all will see what you see. Successful solitary efforts tend to attract devoted partners over time. And history is never the same.

You are one of the few historical personalities that is comfortable in EITHER as the leader of an institution or walking out on one and roguishly going your own way. Your passions are infused with a tendency toward action, which often makes you the lone dissenter and most likely person to walk away from bad company. You are half nobility, half outlaw. From a historical perspective, your personality types may be part of the deep establishment, but harbor powerful anti-establishment attitudes. Why?This may be due to your peculiar blend of personality dimensions, which leave you well-suited for a quick recovery from a bad breakup. You dislike negativity and don’t see how it serves any venture. Instead, most Women of Valor set off and start something new. Your creative imagination allows you to trail-blaze a path into uncharted territory where you could either meet your doom or find tremendous fortunes.

A Woman of Valor sets precedents, and so you often carry on with minimal counsel and sometimes little if any support. Self-doubt sometimes mars your leadership potential. You are both emotional and analytical, so when you don’t understand the big picture, you’re likely to slip into frustrated inaction. Because you are self-made, your expressive attitude and talents often come off as arrogant or dismissive. Make no mistake—the Woman of Valor is a very heroic personality. You can individualistically change the world with your breakthrough perspectives and innovations. However, you are prone to setbacks. Self-corrective measures are often lacking because you follow your own path, opening you up to errors of judgment, impatience, or impulsiveness. You sometimes lack the real world grounding to predict challenges or keep track of the tedious details. Don’t let this deter you! Personal experience is your best mentor, but a tough teacher. When struck with inaction, the Woman of Valor usually chooses to jump into the deep end of the pool and hopes she can swim. Either way, if you trust yourself, you can change the world, either in small ways or epic. With hard-earned and successful personal habits, you are the catalyst. You are the source of dynamism and originality. History awaits you.

Frequency

According to the “MBTI Manual” published by CPP, the Woman of Valor accounts for 8.1% of the world population. 6.9% of men and 9.7% of women are ENFPs.

It’s Women’s History Month! I strongly encourage you to read up on these amazing women, especially if you haven’t yet heard of them.
