I think interactions really depends more on a person's maturity rather than a person's type. So while it can be helpful to read about other's personal experiences, it really depends on the particular individual.
That said, I personally get turned off by most people I know who have a P preference. I can't get my head around their decision making - on one hand, they take forever to come to a conclusion. And that's coming from ME of all people. I tend to be cautious, careful and thorough before I make a conclusion, but it seems that even after all this thinking, those with P preferences are constantly looking for something more to validate their thoughts or collect more data or something. And then when they finally come to a conclusion, it's often not reasonable (to me, at least).
I have yet to meet someone with a P preference that I feel some kind of compatibility with, whether in a relationship or friendship.

So admittedly it takes me a while to figure out what someones type is...
But I've really liked the one ENTP I know I've met. It took me a while to figure out what his 'deal' was. At first, I could just tell we were opposites in most things, but I understood everything he was saying. The more I interacted with him, the more I could appreciate him and the way his mind worked. Also, the more we interacted, the more we could just read what the other wanted. Our conversations were kind of odd at first, and then became very interesting. Remember - both of us are coming from the opposite side of a situation... so we weren't on the same page about things, but it was almost like we were trying to explain our perspective to the other. An interesting push-pull sort of interaction.
Personal thoughts for this one ENTP - he was very very spacey. He couldn't remember meeting times, or when to work, unless he set up multiple reminders for himself. He was pretty selfish. Most of his humor was self-oriented, and he definitely had a healthy ego. He would randomly come up with the most brillant thoughts ever. He is a computer programmer, and would randomly write programs to make life easier. His follow through on ideas was typically kind of bad. He would abandon things after thinking them up - until he got bored and then would invent a solution to a problem that had been bugging us for weeks.
I really liked the guy, and I know he liked me, if it wasn't for me dating someone else - and him graduating, we probably would have dated for awhile. Oh life situations, how you get in the way sometimes...
Also, it probably depends person-to-person on INFJ-ENTP experiences. My guess is every INFJ isn't like me, and every ENTP isn't like this guy either.
I do not mind the P preference... however, if their style of communicating is 'Informing' rather than 'Directive' it can be annoying as hell. To me, that style of communication usually comes across as 'Passive Aggressive' rather than what it actually is, informing. A lot of the time, Ps come across as confusing because they talk around a point, and sometimes, can refuse to make decisions or commit to anything.
I think its a trait of Ne that causes them to be rather scatterbrained. This ENTP I dealt with was brainstorming ideas on what to do one weekend when trying to pursue me and then when we finally met up he forgot the ideas he mentioned. He also seems to forget to call people or respond to people's messages... but that can be understandable with him because not only is he scatterbrained but also working 14 hour days and practically living out of an airplane. His brain is just all over the place. Its not that he doesn't care, because he truly does, its just that he's that scattered.Personal thoughts for this one ENTP - he was very very spacey.

nikkii,I bet there has been a thread on this before, but here it goes
They are meant to be our "natural" partners. So I've been doing some research on it for while. I'm also curious on has any INFJ's ever meet a ENTP. If so what was it like? because I know me as a INFJ I do tend to get bored with people quickly because I understand them so well.
I don't know any N's, expect my INTJ best friend.
Have you ever looked up Intertype Relations on Socionics.com?I suppose I want to share my moment, as it is not often that I get compliments! tee hee, but looking at this further, I do see that he is quite scatter brained. I'm feel his comment was genuine, he somehow looks up to me, he thinks I'm smart and stuff. I like that he is always positive in speech, and makes efforts to grow.
I don't know any in specific but I feel one of my friends might be one and I think I've had ENTP females come on to me.
Any males been in a relationship with a female ENTP?
nikkii,
Thank you nikkii for this opportunity to talk about my current circumstance. I finally am getting more serious about MBTI, and I have an ENTP friend who does spiritual practice with me. He has a crush on me, people think, because of how he looks at me! His eyes are always glazed, and stuff. We went to dinner the other night, with another friend. I dislike staying out after dark, and after calling my dad for a ride, he looked at me, and told me specifically: "You are the cutest thing that I have ever seen! and the sweetest girl..."

To kind of tease him a bit in the moment, I did mention to him that our personalities are quite compatible. He is usually in his mind though, preoccupied with work, and school and stuff. Definitely all over the place, and a good 'friend' type. I could see us compatible in many ways, plus he is really good looking, what's with the T's and the looks? But for now, I will just wait and see. He is too young, among other things. I prefer my ENFJ young friend, he is stuck on his best friend for now.
Well that was my ENTP moment! I plan to see advice from ENTPs to see what was going on, and what he meant by saying those things, is that considered a compliment in ENTP world? or just a passing comment. He doesn't seem to have the intensity that I do. There would be a lot missing, if feel. I like ENTJ, I mean if he were more aggressive and less scatter-brained, I'd be more excited about all this! But for now, not looking, or focusing on relationships. Just school...how is school, btw nikki? It seems your room-mates are nice, and you are loving your experience![]()
