Compatibility between the "types"
- Thread starter sweetea
- Start date
Any type can get along with any other type.Does anyone have any links/info on how different types are compatible and how they tend to interact? Or how two specific types can learn to understand each other better?
Thanks for any info...
It's all about you. And its all about the other person.
Granted its still useful to know someone's type. If you know a person's preferences, it IS easier to make sure they are comfortable. but beyond that, it's all on you.
In general we tend to get along more easily with people that are similar to us.
If such is the case, it would follow that types that share preferences would be more "compatible"
As for the whole ENTP/INFJ thing. I think its over-romanticized. But, if I said I didn't like INFJs that would be a lie. People ought to keep in mind, relationships are an investment, you get what you put in.

It really depends on what you as a person want. Not every INFJ is compatible with every ENTP. I suggest not looking at a person's type when it comes to measuring compatibility and attraction. Spend time with them and get to know them then decide if it's something you want.
If you type in 'INFP and ENTJ relationship' or any two other types, you'll likely find a website with an analysis.
MBTI is somewhat inadequate for assessing relationship potential, though generally INFJs go well with ENTPs and ENFJs. However, two well developed people of any time can have a happy and successful relationship together- the problem is being well developed.
More important relationship factors are how much you have in common and whether you are drawn to each other naturally (which you need to be around the person in real life to know)

Some ENTPs are insufferable jerksasses.
Just as some INFJs are passive-aggressive whiny bitches.
Whatchu gonna do?
Very true! And also I would think even if two people were "normal" and developed...that when life gets stressful (and I don't mean just 'bad day or stuck in traffic' stress)... the differences are going to get tougher to tolerate.
Thanks everyone for you input...it's all very interesting to me.
Oh and I forgot to ask... what sources are most reliable? Trying to weed through the info that's not credible...
Then you aren't doing it right.
But seriously with that kind of mindset, you're signing yourself up for stress.
You're already looking for reasons for a relationship not working.

I resent that. I am not insufferable!
I think if I would have based my "search" on "type" compatability of any sort I would have naver interacted with my boyfriend. Before I knew about MBTI I went through an obsession with astrology. I use to only intract with people I felt were "comatible with me" before getting to know them. I came to my own senses. My boyfriend's chart and his MBTI type are not exactly "compatible" to mine, according to the sources, but what can I say...all I can do is sigh with joy. =)
This isn't to say those sources have nothing good to say about compatability and such. Just, not to take it word for word. I didn't know about MBTI before meeting him--he actually introduced me to it. It was intresting to read about it afterwards (our compatability based on our types) and see what they had to say. There was a few things I noticed that did seem to describe our relationship at times. At the same time reading it helped to try and understand why this or that might be happening.

No, you [MENTION=3465]Limit[/MENTION], are incorrigible.
Yea 0.o I read that too on this site. I was extremely sceptical about it all because I had no idea that Ne doms and Ni doms were compatible. I actually had the impression that many Ni doms here thought that Ne was "annoying" or something along those lines. But perhaps.... "annoying" and "compatible" aren't mutually exclusive.... then, right? Sorta? I dunno. Maybe.

Sounds like you are shopping for this.
Of course, this requires that you redefine your terms.
Actually, as soon as the staff gets done taking care of the test center and stuff
We
my best friend is an enfj. We get along really well and have a really healthy relationship. We think the same things are funny, and we find the same things beautiful so we share alot. We take baths together and sing songs and cuddle while watching tv. She asks me alot of questions and gets me out of the house. I don't care about temperament.
__I thought ExyP/Js with IxyJ/Ps, i.e. INFJ matches with ENFP,
INFP would match with ENFJ, ENTPs with INTJs. Perhaps this is
not the case in real life, but from a theoretical point of view it
creates an optimal flow of energy.
