I was wondering what other INFJ's experiences were with other types. Which ones do you get along with best? What issues do you seem to have with other types?
I'll start.....
INTJ = I find them intriguing at first in that they see things at the same level as I do, but it seems that at the end of the day their arrogance and lack of empathy can annoy me.
ISFJ = On the surface we appear the same, so it seems we should get along great right? I actually find that dealing with people who have primary or secondary Si to annoy me at times (which I guess that would make sense since we use Si the least). I get along with them well initially, but as the relationship progresses it bugs me when all they do is want to talk about decorating, fashion, TV shows, etc.
ESFJ = similar to ISFJ where Si is concerned. I seem to initially get along with this type a little better at first because we get along well via Fe more so. Frustrating part is that I often find myself being their "words of wisdom"... just as I do for ISFJs as times, but it seems to be more so with ESFJs because they have to vent about EVERYTHING. I lived with two ESFJs... it was a learning experience, but at times I wish I didn't get that close because its a lot to handle post-living together.
ENTJ = this is other type that I lived with and we get along great afterward. I'd comfort her when she was upset and we were always on the same track with our views and frustrations with people. I was just a little disappointed with her and her lack of wanting a more "home" environment when living together (cause with her she wanted to be completely independent and just hang out once in a while) which worked out fine in the end. But the whole desire for a more "home" environment is about the only place where I was empathetic with the ESFJs.
ENFJ = We see eye-to-eye for the most part and have a lot in common. The only conflict seems to be when I choose to do things that are not for the betterment of the group and they would find that offensive and not be able to understand my reasoning.
ESTP = If I don't bug them too much about planning ahead and they have a decent developed Fe then we're fine. They help me live in the moment and its great..... I do have to be sure to use my Ti around them though in order to make sure they don't walk over me. If that makes sense... because some can seem to be natural bullies. At a younger age, I don't think I would've been friends with an ESTP -- only at college-age.
ESFP = Always willing to give you a helping hand and help me to have fun to live in the moment. They appreciate me helping them when I feel it is needed. The only thing that distresses me with this type is the lack of deep conversations -- I've tried, but there always seems to be a block.
ISFP = Fun to be around but with the one I dated I felt like they always thought the ENFJs were better and that I was just aloof. I could somewhat have deep conversations with him except they always had to be focused around HIS values. It was ultimately an emotionally screwed up relationship.
ESTJ = Got along with them well overall. Dated one for 9 months. Could have good deep conversations with although there were some things that he just couldn't "get". Ultimately had very different views.
ENTP = From my experience... somehow, they just "get" me perfectly and respect that despite our different personalities. I could elaborate more, but that's all I'll say right now.
I can't think of any more good ones right now.... so anyone else??
