Romance style and MBTI types

Curious how many people think that these analyses are accurate for them when it comes to romancing and being romanced:
Romance style - the Agressor
MBTI types - ISFP, ESFP, ESTP, ISTP
Aggressor sees attraction to another person as a static state, which he feels it is up to him to change in the direction more in agreement to his preference. This accounts for an Aggressor's inclination to take the initiative in approaching the object of his interest and being "relentless" in his pursuit, as well as, even during an established relationship, continuing to try to "shake things up" or "get things moving". If his partner is not receptive to such behavior, this discourages the Aggressor, and results in his interest cooling off.
- no doubts about own interest in another person
- not prone to hesitation about whether or not to reveal that interest
- focus is more on own interest than whether or not the other person might reciprocate
- may desire to feel some "superiority" over the partner, but ultimately wishes for a partner that is able to largely "keep up"
- little inclination to externally admit not having been the one to end a relationship, unless if adopting a "who cares" front simultaneously
Romance style - the Caregiver
MBTI types - ESTJ, ISTJ, ESFJ, ISFJ
This romance style is defined by perceptions of the present reality and physical sensations rather than inner imagery. The Caregiver sees attraction between two individuals as a dynamic state, which he feels is completely natural, as he also sees the physical comfort and well-being of another person as dynamic. This accounts for a Caregiver's inclination to focus on the mutual attraction, or particularly the attraction felt by the other person, as connected to that person's physical well-being. The individual's own dynamic and introverted perceptions lead to a sense of sleepy drifting in them, which makes him welcome impulses from another person designed to shake him out of it from time to time.
- attraction is naturally sparked by the perceived aesthetic attributes of the prospective partner, but cooled off if such attributes are accompanied by a perception of "too aggressive" sexuality
- inclination towards tenderness rather than agressive approach
- prone to adopt maternal approach to the physical comfort and needs of partner
- interest is further maintained if partner welcomes this approach
- prone to assume that partner will need help in practical, daily matters
- neutral as to who ended a relationship, "power" is not seen as important in such matters
Romance style - the Victim
MBTI types - INTJ, ENTJ, ENFJ, INFJ
This romance style is defined by focus on perceptions of inner imagery away from the present physical reality. The Victim sees attraction between two individuals as a dynamic state. This accounts for a Victim's inclination to focus on the mutual attraction, or particularly the attraction felt by the other person, as to its longer-term perspectives and implications, as well as a certain expectation that the partner will continuously take action to confirm the attraction. Failure on the partner to do so results on the individual assuming that it's already changing. The individual counts on the partner to forcefully bring the individual "down to earth from his thoughts " and focus on the immediate physical reality, continuously.
- prone to initial doubts about intensity of own interest in another person
- not always confident about revealing that interest
- inclined to focus on whether or not the other person might reciprocate the interest
- inclined to question whether or not the other person's interest will remain constant with time
- preference for partners that provoke in the individual a certain sense of awe in terms of power, physical presence, and the like
- appreciation for the sense of power-play present when interacting with such partners, with acceptance of a slight sense of superiority on the part of the partner, without ever actually "submitting" to them
- inclination to openly admit to a relationship having been ended by the partner rather than by the individual himself
Romance style - the Child
MBTI types - INFP, INTP, ENFP, ENTP
This romance style is defined by focus perceptions of possibilities and alternatives to the static present reality, which the individual perceives as intrinsically boring and stagnant. This means that the Child sees attraction between two individuals as a static state, also from the point of view of the other person, which he tries to "get moving" by actively thinking of variations of the present static state. This accounts for an Child's inclination to focus on the mutual attraction, or particularly the attraction felt by the other person, as connected to that person's being exposed to the unexpected, imaginative, fun, even "weird" side of life, reality, and each other, a behavior that can be described as "childlike". This focus leads to a sort of helplessness regarding his own physical well being as perceived by , so he welcomes help from others in that area.
- interest is sparked in partner with positive aesthetic attributes divorced from active, "aggressive" sexuality
- tend to try to attract partner's interest with joking, goofy or even "strange" behavior
- try to help partner see the unexpected and fun side of things
- interest is maintained or cools off according to partner's response to this behavior
- appreciation for partner who actively cares about the individual's comfort and daily needs
- neutral with regard to externally admitting who took the initiative in ending a relationship, "power" is seen as unimportant in such matters
