I've noticed the perceiving functions (N and S) have more to do with interests and common ground than T or F, even if they are T or F dominant. So often N's are drawn to other N's and S's to other S's. But any type pairing can theoretically work. Ultimately this stuff comes down to the individual.

 

It might just be that there are so many more SJ's to choose from. I know that no type statistics are definite, but everything I've ever read points to S's being in the majority over N's.

In some places I've read the percentage of SP's and SJ's is about the same. In others I've read SJ's largely outnumber SP's. In either case, you're certainly more likely to run into more SJ's than either of the two N temperaments.


In addition, like nevermore said, S's tend to understand each other on a lot of basic levels moreso than they understand N's. So with that as a starting point, it's back to the typical J vs. P argument....the one that J's need P's to help them loosen up and P's need J's to help them settle down and organize. P's find needed stability in J's and J's find thrill and excitement in P's. This is even more pronounced in SJ's and SP's than NJ's and NP's.

 

I can find some SJs to be too rigid, but that's from my personal experience.

 

My ISFJ ex is like that. He must follow a schedule for everything. He also "likes" to invade my person space, which turns me off. Well, it was more like he constantly needs me.

Anyways, the relationship lasted for about two years, which isn't that bad.

 

These are just for the SJs. It's mix and match. Best relationships are recommended with intuitives. This way you don't end up stepping on each other's toes too much

I seem to be drawn to SPs. There is a lightness present that I dont have....lord knows im serious enough for two people. And honestly, I like being drawn out of my shell.

 

@CallSignOWL I know what you mean by being drawn out of your shell. My best friend is an ISTJ and we both go out to (milk) tea party every week. Its very fun! She specifically told me how introverted she is, even though she's becoming a rebel (skipping classes and such to have tea). My friend and I have a lot in common, such as how we nod together in the exact same way. It's hilarious how twin-like we are.
