It appears (by your wording), that you at least at the time of this asking had been acquainted with the mere letter dichotomy.

Chapters 18-20 denote to the other NF types, ENFJ being the 20th chapter. Sporadically, other NF types mention throughout book. I would say ENFP is the least mentioned (which perhaps is why she wrote longest on it in the chapters concerning the other NF type) with INFP the second most focused on-- even the back of cover is said she had noticed almost all writers she worked with are INFP and J, thus giving her most experience with these two types.

Chapter 7 explains the giftedness of the NF (idealist) temperament using Kazimierz Dabrowski's theory, chapter 16 explains the XNFJ leadership and as already I've said, 20 is wholly about the ENFJ.(less)
