Sorry if I have asked this before...I know I've mentioned it in passing in other comments, but I don't think I've actually posted it....
So my dad is text book ISTJ. I'm pretty classic ENFP (a little more reserved than many, but I've got issues) but my whole life I've really related to my dad. He's always been a good friend. We have the same sense of humor and the same thoughts & views on life, though we often come to the conclusions from completely different angles. My mom (an ISFJ) once told me she was jealous because he and I understood each other more than she and I did. (I get along with her too, but the communication isn't quite as effortless). My dad throughout my life has made many comments about how much in common we have...and yet, I relate to ENFP and he relates to ISTJ. Are we mistyping ourselves horribly or is there a tendancy to relate to your opposite type? I know we have the same functions only in reverse....do any of you really feel a connection with an ENFP?
