INFJ and ENFJ will seem nothing alike to an ENTP.I would love to know that too. My husband is ENFJ and it seems to be an unhappy combination for both of us. I understand it can work for a combination of "T" male and "F" female but the oposite one looks horrible.
That interests me. Took me a while to figure out why this is true according to MBTI. Here is why I believe it's true.You will have insight into how she feels even when she doesn't.

Somebody commented about this on another forum. It seems that people become interested in others who have their tertiary function as primary or secondary.That interests me. Took me a while to figure out why this is true according to MBTI. Here is why I believe it's true.
Since both the ENTP and INFJ share the same 2nd element, iNtuition, you are saying that the strongest element that both her and I share an intuitive understanding of is the next element, the 3rd one. For me it is feeling, for her it is thinking.
Am I a correct on how I arrived at this?
I agree with you. I'm pretty sure my ex-gf was an infj. I filled out the relationship test and it came up for me as best compatible with an infj. I liked the predominantly left-brained personality type in my mate. I believe you need an opposite in order to grow and have a sustainable relationship, where being who you are naturally attracts the person you are with. You could still have a long relationship with someone who is predominantly same side brain-type as you are but it will take work. Eventually though you will grow tired and feel as if you are missing something someone else could only fill, then you will split up. After a few relationships (one long) and looking more into temperaments/personalities, I will only become serious with my opposite temperament (left-brain, infj). Along with other preferences of course... Gives new meaning to "you complete me" when you look deeper into it. No way could I see myself with a female version of myself (ENTP/8w7).lol It would be a hell of a ride while it lasted (short as it may be) but for sure would not last.Somebody commented about this on another forum.

So for INFJs this function is Ti. I find myself naturally curious about personality types with Ti as either secondary or dominant function - ENTPs, INTPs, ISTPs, ESTPs. This seems to be the case for ENTPs as well - their tertiary function is Fe so they seem to become interested in people who have Fe as secondary or primary function. ENFJs and INFJs being two of these types and I have already seen 3 ENTP-ESFJ unions. This also seems to be true for INTPs as their tertiary function is Si and I've seen them get really drawn to ISFJs who have Si as primary function.
Why this is so is unknown. People just say it helps you develop a more balanced personality. The tertiary function is what starts developing in people in 20-30s supposedly, so perhaps we're just searching for frinds and partners who will fill in our blindspots for us so to say.
0.o How does that work?I have already seen 3 ENTP-ESFJ unions.
So true, my current partner, who is INFJ, knew I fell in love with him before I did. He hinted at it and after about a week, it came to me like a big revelation that "yes, it may be true". I don't know when I fell in love, it was just there when I started thinking about it and all pieces fell into the right place.You will have insight into how she feels even when she doesn't.

A barbed net and chloroform.0.o How does that work?
Haha that's how I feel about my ENTP friend she so OBVIOUSLY likes me but just doesn't know. Sigh. I'll play it out as if I don't know for a bit longer... I guess.So true, my current partner, who is INFJ, knew I fell in love with him before I did. He hinted at it and after about a week, it came to me like a big revelation that "yes, it may be true".

Well, better than prose descriptions, how about some interaction? I've done a number of interaction vids which are linked on the type interaction thread, if you just want to observe. If you're feeling braver, i'm happy to offer my personality for science--we can post a chat in which I answer all your questions.I'm honestly just curious what an ENTP female is like. I'm assuming (simply by looking at the letters by themselves, haven't read up on them) they are somewhat aggressive, yet reserved at the same time, and I wonder how they would interact with the typically timid (sometimes more feminine) INFJ male, who is (in my case) more reactive than proactive.
@Hokahey I do believe this experiment deserves some consideration. *rubs-hands-together-in-anticipation*Well, better than prose descriptions, how about some interaction?

also, we are both Fe. Entp's are tertiary. And ENTP's are VERY Fe in relationships that I have seen. We are outwardly focused, and we want others to be happy in general.That interests me. Took me a while to figure out why this is true according to MBTI. Here is why I believe it's true.

Ahh hela, you're so lucky I'm not an INFJ guy. I am really tempted to prove you wrongI actually don't think that most INFJs and ENTPs are compatible. Could it happen? Sure. Is it the usually the best thing for everyone? Nah.
With regard to male INFJs and female ENTPs: never met a male INFJ IRL.
