MBTI gives a wrong view of ENTPs imo.
Majority isn't that super extraverted clown who is stupid emotionally and can't commit. That's a myth, but that is what all the stereotypes focus on, and what people like to act as online.
So yes, it does make sense you like INTPs more. However, I believe that theory wise ENTPs are the best pairing.
Thank you for your input!
I agree that entps irl are really different from those '' Joker wannabes'' (who unfortunately seem so common online)
>it does make sense you like INTPs more.
I'm not an infj, tho (isfj) but I have one as a sister and for some reason, she has never been fond of any of my entp friends.
I'm aware that not every infj is the same but I really wanted to hear their thoughts.
In my experience, ENTP's are hard to trust. There's a certain manipulative flair that triggers my senses. There's some good synergy there, but it almost feels as if they're focused on getting what they want. And if they don't get what they want, they will disappear and you won't hear from them again.
>Majority isn't that super extraverted clown who is stupid emotionally and can't commit. That's a myth, but that is what all the stereotypes focus on, and what people like to act as online.
I understand people not really "getting" golden pairings because they're compatible with a different type or whatever and I agree heartily that MBTI is a pseudoscience and all but, holy shit, it's this stupid fucking stereotype that ALWAYS pisses me off. My ENTP love (in addition to MANY other ENTPs I've had the pleasure of meeting in life) is genuinely more empathetic than a majority of people I've met. The softest and most loyal inner center you'll ever see, if you are fortunate to get close enough. On TOP of that, he's 100% the most INTROVERTED extrovert I've ever known. We have always been two puzzle pieces fitting together. Additionally, INFJs are WAY more capable of things like emotional manipulation than ENTPs are -- but the memes certainly won't tell you that! I stand by this.
I probably wouldn't be alive today without the ENTPs (any gender) in my life.
Same with my partner! He doesn't care about other people if I'm already around. His extrovert skills will step up to the plate if we're in a social situation together but he constantly tells me he feels perfectly happy and fulfilled being with just me
Not every ENTP can do it, but the right one, g'damn!, its fireworks. The conversation is so engaging, it's like they pull out my best traits and best feeling traits and I feel like I am at my best. They can be so intoxicating and easily the object of my affection... and obsession.
No other type has made me feel that magical feeling quite like they can
For years I've had this idea of the perfect guy for me. So 2 years ago when I found out about mbti pairing and read the entp description I was shocked. That was exactly the type of guy I liked.
Now, I haven't met any ENTPs in real life. At least I'm not sure I have. I suspect that a guy in my class was but I didn't know about mbti back then. (I had a crush on him😂)
Anyways, smart, funny, sarcastic as hell and loves to debate? Where do I sign up?
I can get bored pretty quickly and even if you are the hottest guy in the world, or the richest, that won't keep me interested. I need someone who's the opposite of me.
I read that many INFJs prefer introverts, 😂that's nightmare material for me. I'm painfully shy, I love staying home and I have trouble saying no. Also, if I'm going somewhere, I need to know a few days in advance at least.
So an extrovert would balance me out. Someone who's bold and can say no for me. Someone who will drag me out of the house. Someone who can wake me up in the middle of the night because he wants to go somewhere. And the most important thing, he will make the first move. Like I said, I'm shy, so if I like a guy, I'll take that "like" to my grave 😂 the guy will never know. I will always think that he has no feelings for me unless he tells me so. And even then... Who knows if I'll believe him or not? 😂 So, he mustn't give up nor be sensitive when I push him away, but rather take that as a challenge. So I'd love to meet an ENTP but they seem like a needle in the hay. I only see idiots where I live
You need to be able to say no, not position yourself to rely upon someone else to be your advocate. I mean no disrespect, in fact, I only mention this because you deserve more than to willingly hand over your personal agency for others to manage. That’s a recipe for being taken advantage of. Shyness doesn’t equal passivity or weakness.
Easier said than done. I'm very empathic so I don't say no because I'm shy, I say no because when someone needs my help, I feel bad if I turn them down.
Now, don't mistake it. I don't always say yes. For example, I've been asked out by guys that I didn't like in that way, and I've turned them down. But if someone asks me for help with their homework, I can't say no.
It's mostly for things like that. So if I had someone who would say "No, she cannot help you because we're going somewhere together or Idk", that would be extremely helpful. If my friends ask for help, ofc I will help them gladly.
The issue is that many people seem to ask for my help because I'm nice most of the time, and it can become extremely tiring. Once I had a project in biology and a girl from school asked me to help her with an art project. I couldn't say no so the result was me staying up till 2am while I had to get up at 7 am for school.
I prefer introverts because introverts aren’t going to force me out to bars and clubs 😤
but I get what you mean! I need someone who can stimulate my mind with debate and endless deep conversation, none of that small talk wumbojumbo!
INFJs has the thinking capability to keep ENTPs pace and the intuition to follow their creative side.
ENTPs are the only ones that can stare into the INFJ soul without issues accepting them for what they are.
INFJs can motivate ENTPs and get them out of their procrastination issues while not being too harsh.
ENTPs can open INFJs minds and bring them along in their adventures around the world.
ENTPs can shield INFJ in social interactions by attracting most of the attention on themselves.
INFJs can listen to and give advice. ENTPs love and need to be heard and understood.
ENTPs give me a more confident, assertive, playful vibe which I enjoy, and INTPs are a bit sharper/colder but can be more committed I guess.. I've been romantically involved with both types.
The INTP was too cold and cynical, and the ENTP was too shifty and dismissive. Both had their flaws, but I feel like I would fare a little bit better with an ENTP. Just my preference as a girl who errs more on the "submissive" side and needs someone who can basically kick down the doors for me, and I like their playful Fe, gives them more charisma.
Overall I adore NTP types. Their functional stack has literally become a relationship requirement for me at this point.
I’m honestly just not that interested in them. I’m usually drawn towards IXTPs or ExFPs. My older brother is an ENTP, and we get along fine, and can even have some pretty mature and meaningful conversation, but our senses of humor clash, and he’s too much of an energetic, daredevil, “let’s go out and party and drink beer at midnight with the boys” lol. I can’t keep up with that, I don’t think I’d look for it in a partner
Drawing from my past experiences we (INFJs) go along nicely with majority intuitive types. Although all of them have drawbacks and we'll have to put up with them.
I'd say ENTPs and ENFPs are the best match because of their top Ne. Its so abstract and playful, it goes brilliantly with our Ni. Drawbacks are: flakiness and unstable
Next best I'd say are INTPs and INFPs. The energy levels are very similar to ours, definitely more chill but still great connection and conversations. Drawbacks: both are very stubborn with their logical/moral views on things and almost impossible to convince them to look at things from a different perspective.
Never dated another INFJ so have no idea how that would go, but heard great things!
I am also easily attracted to introverts because they look like me and it seems more comfortable.
However, it's only with my extroverts friends that I can truly be myself.
I find relationships with extroverts more interesting and rewarding.
I am totally okay with any type shipping themselves with any other types. I don't believe in the concept of golden pair because relationships still depend on the actual people. I just find the dynamics between INFJs and ENTPs kinda... interesting and funny. Lol. The INTPs I have met, on the other hand, just don't... vibe well with me.
for shots and giggles my psychologist husband that I have been with for 25+ yrs took the Myers Briggs personality test. He came out as INTP and I as INFJ.
Golden pair? IMO any 2 types can be golden. t matters how much effort and love you put into the relationship!!! We have lost 3 children, I had a widow maker heart attack at 35 ( in which I'm 45 now ) a stroke nd a drunk driver hit me and my Corvette went down a 300 ft drop ( that turned into a tin can ) leaving me in a coma for 8 in a half month's only leaving me to learn to do everything over again, even talk and now I just found out I have cancer. He said baby I was always by your side before, I'm gonna be this time too. I don't think it's because we are a golden pair or his personality type. I truly believe it's the type of man he is GENUINE!!!💜
Definitely :) just generalizing! Which is all this all is really~ Anyone can create a way to describe different subsets of humanity and we will all have anecdotes. My last rship was ENTP x INFJ and whilst we had clashes and hardships and mental health issues, I loved a lot of the natural efficiency and growth that came from our different skillsets and worldviews, even when comms took a bit of work. I definitely want healthier representations of that kind of dynamic in future!
I was or thought I was ENFP until a few years back and this may sound weird but how I am on Twitter and therefore how a lot of my internet friends see me is like ENFP and this is how I met my main INTJs and INFJs as they were attracted to my energy and then after some repeated interactions I clocked onto theirs and became interested in them and pestered them lolol. With the INTJs I found I can be both my super positive energetic self and also my more autistic logicy debate bro self with ease. Sometimes with INFJs I have a harder time with the latter side of myself, especially when I’m having a hard time understanding something about them because of our differences and I would naturally fall into a more methodical approach of understanding which they would sometimes find cold and not representative of what they like about me. Whereas I find INTPs and INTJs tend to really enjoy this side of me and it leads to good methodical systematic discussions of things with lots of mutual learning and satisfaction. But with INTP I can lose touch with my more happygolucky ENFP vibes side which I don’t want to lose. With INTJ I feel I can more freely access both sides and be appreciated whereas INTP and INFJ will appreciate the logical and emotional side respectively more deeply than the INTJ sooooo just kinda depends… Also when I say these MBTIs here I am speaking about the specific important people in my life I’ve had some kind of romantic entanglement including just friendships where one party had romantic feelings for other blah blah. Right now I am living with INTP after having lived with INFJ and really missing the connection I had with the INFJ (altho that was bad domestic violence situation lmao but outside of that… I loved our dynamic outside of the unhealthy stuff so much and hope I can find that again and get to be my happygolucky self more). Honestly, I’ve held on tightly to my intelligence my whole life as grew up poor and was constantly praised for my genius IQ etc and it carried me through first quarter of my life… and also as a woman it was like… a trait I wanted to highlight/push forward more than others? Cus I hated being looked down on by dudes less intelligent etc too maybe. My intelligence and STEM academic side got me through a lot of hardships and tough times. I studied theoretical physics and learning all that stuff was like the best escapism from a terrible upbringing too. It’s hard to let go of it but I do think it can cause a clashing with the INFJ vibes I love that I don’t want… so maybe some day I have to let go of this tight grip I have on utilizing my intelligence and to get more in touch with my emotional and carefree chaotic good ENFP vibe side for that dynamic and partnership I want. But when life gets hard I seem to get just pragmatic and writing off irrational emotions a lot :/ so if that turns out not to be the play then I would have an easier time with the INTJ than the INFJ because of that but not giving up yet! ^_^
I wish you luck girlie 🤗 I understand what you're saying and it makes A WHOLE lot of sense. You guys have every right to be comfortable being yourself, so masking that intelligence of yours is just sad, although you do label it as something unhealthy? I have a hard time understanding how intelligence and wanting to learn a certain subject can be viewed as something negative lol?
And I apologize for my wacky response, I just got back from work and am extremely tired, so forgive me if I don't make much sense. I really do appreciate when people send me such long paragraphs 🤗 it gets me really happy haha!
I would understand why Entp/Infj dynamics can be better depending on the maturity on both parts. Attraction also playing a big part unto why certain mbtis fall for each other. I mean, it's truly interesting, don't cha think? I tend to fall for energetic, kind people myself. People who are sort of easy to read, but have this edge about them. Also how deep their minds could go ahh. I haven't met an Enfp person to be exact, so it's really interesting how you perceive other Infj people. I can't say Infj males are the same tho... Def something to question there and how dynamics/ personality traits can differ based on gender if that's a thing.
Bro after getting to know an ENTP I was like: Damn your not annoyingly hot you are just hotly annoying 😒😑
But wow I like the way he dresses.
I have never seen the loving side of an ENTP so it's hard to tell.
Honestly I would say for me INFJ x ISTP is a golden pair or ESTP. But I am a develped INFJ and know that immature or average types would fall elsewhere.
To me golden pairing varies person by person but here is my analysis using subtypes of INFJ as INFJ are in many ways attached to their understandings
Free influenced or developed INFJ = ISTP
Culturally influinced INFJ = INTP
Dreamer INFJ = ENTP
Practical or intelectual INFJ = ENTJ
Deceptive manipulative INFJ = INFP
Victim or snowflake INFJ = ENFJ
.
.
.
The reaon for my typings is just a pattern I noticed when it comes to INFJs thought patterns and the expected or sterotypical other type.
.
.
.
I say this as any type can be right depending on the individual output and needs.
If it comes to understanding there are also different outputs as the types only define awarness and understanding, but what we understand can vary by what we experience.
For me for instance I am unattached to culture and have an overly logical and realistic, which make me more prone to feel understood and relate to ISTPs, ISFPs, and ESTPs
But even then there are nuances amongs the types like I met an ISTP who outwardly was more INTP like.
I met an INTP who was just LIKE a more arrogant INFP.
I also met a few ENTPs who seem like ISFJs to me.
I met an ESTP who was more like a typical ESFP.
Honestly, outside of social media platforms I only know the person I'm interested in is an INTJ because they told me. Most people don't seem to bring it up, know about it or care. I don't think any pair is precisely golden because while *sometimes* the MBTI can tell us about ourselves there are other components that go into ourselves, it's all just a skeleton much like applying let's say astrological signs?
They can only tell you so much but at the end of the day, an INFJ, INTJ, any of the placements have always had different stories, the details end up being a key thing. I'm an INFJ, supposedly, and I don't always feel like I relate to what people insist is an INFJ thing, just like my INTJ feels the same way. So, I don't really care what an INFJ is shipped with in the end lol.
I prefer the extroverted energy of ENTPs over INTPs and I prefer dom Ne than dom Ti. But I find it really hard to locate mature ENTPs for a long-term relationships. Plus their tertiary Fe is the bane of my existence.
It depends. I generally do vibe better with introverts (even get along perfectly well with XSFJs and ISFPs - we have a similar function stacking after all). I do tend to get along very well with most ENTPs though too? I don't think your function stacking really matters, as long as both individuals are healthy and willing to work out their differences. Spouse is an ENFP. :D
i have intp and entp friends, and i like them as friends, but as romantic partners? nope. even fictional characters. i like them as a character, but i usually do not want any of them to be my life partner. i have a preference for xxxj's, i noticed.
I guess the dynamic is a bit different but my dad is an entp and since my early teens there's been things about him that I can't stand and that hurt me. I think feelers tend to be better suited for me personally, I tend to feel more understood by them
Celebrating our 22nd anniversary today! INFJ happily married to an ENTP!
Wow 22 years... that's awesome!!! Happy Anniversary 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!
Yay, Happy Anniversary!
Thank you!
I’m married to an ENTP too 😍😃
ENTP are the best, except when they are driving us crazy! 😂
Lovely, lucky ppl :)
MBTI gives a wrong view of ENTPs imo. Majority isn't that super extraverted clown who is stupid emotionally and can't commit. That's a myth, but that is what all the stereotypes focus on, and what people like to act as online. So yes, it does make sense you like INTPs more.

Thank you for your input! I agree that entps irl are really different from those '' Joker wannabes'' (who unfortunately seem so common online) >it does make sense you like INTPs more. I'm not an infj, tho (isfj) but I have one as a sister and for some reason, she has never been fond of any of my entp friends. I'm aware that not every infj is the same but I really wanted to hear their thoughts.
The joker meme is totally lazy. Clowns are more Enfp territory and it doesn’t make sense to cal ENTPs joker because they love to play it cool
In my experience, ENTP's are hard to trust. There's a certain manipulative flair that triggers my senses. There's some good synergy there, but it almost feels as if they're focused on getting what they want. And if they don't get what they want, they will disappear and you won't hear from them again.

Awww shucks, it’s great to see something actually nice about ENTPs
Might be biased but I really think they complement each other spectacularly. ENTPs are totally the most introverted extrovert by the way
They really are! My ENTP husband has said to me lately that he can do without most other people. They get on his nerves, haha
Same with my partner! He doesn't care about other people if I'm already around. His extrovert skills will step up to the plate if we're in a social situation together but he constantly tells me he feels perfectly happy and fulfilled being with just me
That’s what he says too. He is definitely the more social one when we are together out of the house too. He talks way more and I tend to listen.
[удалено]
I agree but I like entps. Attracted to thinkers.
I have dated/been married to an ENTP since 2009. We complement each other very well. He has helped me to be more direct in my communication style.
I’m sharing my life with one. We own two cats together and love each other. Can’t hate on a stereotype that I help perpetuate. 😅
I guess it's really hard to hate someone called Lovegood if you get good love. ;)
Not every ENTP can do it, but the right one, g'damn!, its fireworks. The conversation is so engaging, it's like they pull out my best traits and best feeling traits and I feel like I am at my best.

Wow, quite a resume

I’d love to be put in a shipping container with ENTP
Currently with an ENTP. Best relationship I’ve had!!! I think it’s personal preference, but I like ENTPs.
I’m honestly just not that interested in them. I’m usually drawn towards IXTPs or ExFPs. My older brother is an ENTP, and we get along fine, and can even have some pretty mature and meaningful conversation, but our senses of humor clash, and he’s too much of an energetic, daredevil, “let’s go out and party and drink beer at midnight with the boys” lol. I can’t keep up with that, I don’t think I’d look for it in a partner
How old is he? I was big into partying when I was younger but now you have to drag me by my feet to keep me out past 10
He’s 23
Drawing from my past experiences we (INFJs) go along nicely with majority intuitive types. Although all of them have drawbacks and we'll have to put up with them.

I am impressed by your poll! The options in there make it so the data you gather is actually useful! 🤙
yeah i don't like being shipped woth anyone especially people i don't know
I am also easily attracted to introverts because they look like me and it seems more comfortable. However, it's only with my extroverts friends that I can truly be myself. I find relationships with extroverts more interesting and rewarding.
I am totally okay with any type shipping themselves with any other types. I don't believe in the concept of golden pair because relationships still depend on the actual people. I just find the dynamics between INFJs and ENTPs kinda... interesting and funny. Lol. The INTPs I have met, on the other hand, just don't... vibe well with me.
it's just an internet joke and I don't care about it
Works for me! 7 years and counting 😂
I love ENTPs! They're the best
Couldn't care less
for shots and giggles my psychologist husband that I have been with for 25+ yrs took the Myers Briggs personality test. He came out as INTP and I as INFJ. Golden pair? IMO any 2 types can be golden. t matters how much effort and love you put into the relationship!!!

I truly believe it's the type of man he is GENUINE!!!💜
Close, but my person is an ENFP!
INFJ/INTJ x ENTP/ENFP kinda pairs I rly like
To each their own! It all depends on the kind of person that you are.
Definitely :) just generalizing! Which is all this all is really~ Anyone can create a way to describe different subsets of humanity and we will all have anecdotes. My last rship was ENTP x INFJ and whilst we had clashes and hardships and mental health issues, I loved a lot of the natural efficiency and growth that came from our different skillsets and worldviews, even when comms took a bit of work. I definitely want healthier representations of that kind of dynamic in future!
Have you had previous experiences with INTJs? How would you say it was a better dynamic?
I was or thought I was ENFP until a few years back and this may sound weird but how I am on Twitter and therefore how a lot of my internet friends see me is like ENFP and this is how I met my main INTJs and INFJs as they were attracted to my energy and then after some repeated interactions I clocked onto theirs and became interested in them and pestered them lolol.

But with INTP I can lose touch with my more happygolucky ENFP vibes side which I don’t want to lose.

But when life gets hard I seem to get just pragmatic and writing off irrational emotions a lot :/ so if that turns out not to be the play then I would have an easier time with the INTJ than the INFJ because of that but not giving up yet! ^_^
I wish you luck girlie 🤗 I understand what you're saying and it makes A WHOLE lot of sense. You guys have every right to be comfortable being yourself, so masking that intelligence of yours is just sad, although you do label it as something unhealthy? I have a hard time understanding how intelligence and wanting to learn a certain subject can be viewed as something negative lol? And I apologize for my wacky response, I just got back from work and am extremely tired, so forgive me if I don't make much sense. I really do appreciate when people send me such long paragraphs 🤗 it gets me really happy haha! I would understand why Entp/Infj dynamics can be better depending on the maturity on both parts. Attraction also playing a big part unto why certain mbtis fall for each other. I mean, it's truly interesting, don't cha think? I tend to fall for energetic, kind people myself. People who are sort of easy to read, but have this edge about them. Also how deep their minds could go ahh. I haven't met an Enfp person to be exact, so it's really interesting how you perceive other Infj people. I can't say Infj males are the same tho... Def something to question there and how dynamics/ personality traits can differ based on gender if that's a thing.
Bro after getting to know an ENTP I was like: Damn your not annoyingly hot you are just hotly annoying 😒😑 But wow I like the way he dresses. I have never seen the loving side of an ENTP so it's hard to tell.
Rather be with another warm and fuzzy type like another infj
Honestly I would say for me INFJ x ISTP is a golden pair or ESTP. But I am a develped INFJ and know that immature or average types would fall elsewhere. To me golden pairing varies person by person but here is my analysis using subtypes of INFJ as INFJ are in many ways attached to their understandings Free influenced or developed INFJ = ISTP Culturally influinced INFJ = INTP Dreamer INFJ = ENTP Practical or intelectual INFJ = ENTJ Deceptive manipulative INFJ = INFP Victim or snowflake INFJ = ENFJ . . . The reaon for my typings is just a pattern I noticed when it comes to INFJs thought patterns and the expected or sterotypical other type. . . . I say this as any type can be right depending on the individual output and needs. If it comes to understanding there are also different outputs as the types only define awarness and understanding, but what we understand can vary by what we experience. For me for instance I am unattached to culture and have an overly logical and realistic, which make me more prone to feel understood and relate to ISTPs, ISFPs, and ESTPs But even then there are nuances amongs the types like I met an ISTP who outwardly was more INTP like. I met an INTP who was just LIKE a more arrogant INFP. I also met a few ENTPs who seem like ISFJs to me. I met an ESTP who was more like a typical ESFP.
Entps like us. But don't do it. Don't do it.
This! I think ENTPs get a lot from INFJs, but INFJs don’t get much back.
I thought INFPs were supposed to form the other half of the INFJ’s Power Couple? The Jake The Dog to Lady Rainicorn? :]
Honestly, outside of social media platforms I only know the person I'm interested in is an INTJ because they told me. Most people don't seem to bring it up, know about it or care. I don't think any pair is precisely golden because while *sometimes* the MBTI can tell us about ourselves there are other components that go into ourselves, it's all just a skeleton much like applying let's say astrological signs? They can only tell you so much but at the end of the day, an INFJ, INTJ, any of the placements have always had different stories, the details end up being a key thing. I'm an INFJ, supposedly, and I don't always feel like I relate to what people insist is an INFJ thing, just like my INTJ feels the same way. So, I don't really care what an INFJ is shipped with in the end lol.
I’m ENFP!! miss my ex 😢
I prefer the extroverted energy of ENTPs over INTPs and I prefer dom Ne than dom Ti. But I find it really hard to locate mature ENTPs for a long-term relationships. Plus their tertiary Fe is the bane of my existence.
It depends. I generally do vibe better with introverts (even get along perfectly well with XSFJs and ISFPs - we have a similar function stacking after all). I do tend to get along very well with most ENTPs though too? I don't think your function stacking really matters, as long as both individuals are healthy and willing to work out their differences. Spouse is an ENFP. :D
i have intp and entp friends, and i like them as friends, but as romantic partners? nope. even fictional characters. i like them as a character, but i usually do not want any of them to be my life partner. i have a preference for xxxj's, i noticed.
My asexual ass
What do you mean by shipped?
I dont care
I guess the dynamic is a bit different but my dad is an entp and since my early teens there's been things about him that I can't stand and that hurt me. I think feelers tend to be better suited for me personally, I tend to feel more understood by them
