ENTJ: Disloyalty.

ENTJs show their love through acts of diligence and loyalty – and they expect the same back from their partners. To an ENTJ, love is a verb, not a feeling. The moment they suspect that a partner may be willing to betray or act against them, they will not hesitate to shut them out. Relationships are a matter of risk management to the ENTJ and if you’re not going to play devotedly for their team, you can find another.

INTP: A partner who cannot think critically.

INTPs are the ultimate critical thinkers – this type won’t accept any thought, fact or opinion until they’ve examined it thoroughly, from every available angle. Though they may not expect their partners to be as intellectually thorough as they are, they need to be paired with someone who wants to learn, advance and grow alongside them. After all, if the INTP can’t discuss the latest theory they’re interested in, they’re going to have very little left to discuss.

ENTP: Boredom.

ENTPs are curious, explorative and eager to push boundaries. They approach relationships the way they approach everything else – with curiosity and an unquenchable enthusiasm to learn more. There is nothing more exciting to an ENTP than a person they can’t quite figure out – and there’s nothing more boring to them than someone they can. This type enjoys complicated, multi-dimensional partners who challenge them intellectually. Someone who is consistent to the point of rigidity gives the ENTP nothing to explore and learn from – which means the ENTP will likely tire of them quickly.

ESFJ: Unwillingness to commit.

ESFJs take their love lives seriously. This organized type always has one eye on the future and they need a partner who can keep up. They plan for the long-term – so if you can’t see yourself in their future, you can see yourself out of their lives. ESFJs don’t have the patience for flakiness or uncertainty – if they’re in a relationship they’re all in and they expect the same from their partners.

ISFJ: Insensitivity.

ISFJs need a partner they can relax with and feel comfortable around – and being a sensitive type by nature, that means they need a partner who cares deeply about both their feelings and the feelings of others. Obnoxious or arrogant personalities don’t fly with this kind and collected type – they put their best foot forward for others and they need a partner who can and will do the same.

ESFP: Having limits placed on their socializing.

ESFPs are the ultimate people-people. It’s incredibly important for this type to be able to maintain a wide, active social circle outside of their relationship – and a partner who wants to place limits on that circle isn’t going to last long with the ESFP. This free-spirited type needs to feel connected to a community. A jealous or controlling partner who can’t handle them socializing outside of the relationship is a definite deal breaker for this type.

ISFP: Being unable to express their true selves.

ISFPs are wildly creative and difficult to get to know well. More than anything else, this type wants a partner who takes the time to get to know them on a deep level and accept them exactly as they are. If the ISFP feels uncomfortable or unable to express who they truly are within a relationship, they will see little use in continuing it.

ESTJ: Inconsistency.

ESTJs take a pragmatic approach to everything and relationships are no exception. This type wants a partner they can rely on to be loyal, devoted and committed. If they perceive excessive inconsistencies within a person’s actions over a period of time, they are likely to feel distrustful towards them – and consider them unsuitable for long-term partnership.

ISTJ: Deviance from their personal system of values.

ISTJs are incredibly principled individuals who base all of their decisions on a core set of values. And they need a partner who lives his or her life in accordance with those same values, or else they’ll have trouble finding common ground. This type needs to feel a mutual respect for whoever they’re in a relationship with and if they perceive the other person to be morally corrupt in some way, the ISTJ will have a difficult time mustering that respect.

ESTP: Dormancy.

ESTPs are action-oriented folk and they need someone who can keep up. It’s not that they need you to be a marathon runner or a trade skydiver to date them, but do they need someone who’s open and adaptable to their fast-paced lifestyle. ESTPs can’t handle a partner who only wants to sit at home and deliberate – this type wants to be where the action is and they need someone who is willing and eager to join them.

ISTP: Insecurity.

ISTPs make for incredibly independent partners and they need to be paired with someone who understands this. They love and care for their partners, but they aren’t interested in constantly reassuring them of such – if their loved ones can’t take their actions as expressions of love, the ISTP won’t have the patience to carry on the relationship.

25 People Discuss Their Experience Dating Their Myers-Briggs Four-Letter Opposite

ESFP with INTJ

“I’m an ESFP married to an INTJ… The biggest challenge we face is that we are basically opposites! I’m a very typical ESFP – Parties, people, spontaneous. My husband is a pretty typical INTJ – Alone time, planning, etc. I think our relationship works because we are both willing to find the balance. While I hate to admit it, I do sometimes need to unplug my brain and focus on who *I* am outside of just being the party person, being married to an INTJ “forces” me to do that. For him, he gets to learn how to be flexible! All in all I think it works really well, my weaknesses are his strengths and his weaknesses are my strengths!”

“I’m an ESFP and I dated an INTJ for about 7-8 months. Despite the “opposites attract” thing being kind of cute and helpful for both of us at times, we ultimately ended our relationship because our personalities just weren’t compatible. I need a lot of emotional support and validation in relationships and he couldn’t meet those needs because it wasn’t in his nature to constantly provide emotional support and validation.

We fought a lot because I always felt like he wasn’t doing enough to show that he cared about me, and he would get frustrated because he knew that he cared, but it wasn’t natural for him to go out of his way to talk about his feelings and show me- from his standpoint, I should have known that he loved and cared about me because he wouldn’t spend time with me or be in the relationship at all if he didn’t. We truly loved and cared about each other a lot, but we couldn’t reconcile our differences in personality enough to make each other happy without compromising who we were as people.

Looking back on it, our relationship helped him open up more and become more honest and tolerant when dealing with his own emotions and those of others, and I think it helped me understand that not everyone operates the same way that I do, and that doesn’t mean that they are wrong or inferior for being different. It did, however, help me realize exactly what I need in a relationship, and unfortunately this was a case where loving each other just wasn’t enough.”

“INTJ here with an ESFP. It’s rocky on good days, but in a challenging way. We really have to look outside our own box everyday and sometimes every convo. MBTI really helped with that. There are innate issues like personal space or communication. I’ve never been as loud as I have been with my ESFP. I feel like I have to be or he doesn’t understand my point of view.”

“I’m an INTJ, married to an ESFP. He’s nurturing and I’m practical. (We don’t have kids yet, but I imagine that dichotomy will come in handy when we do.) He’ll ask me if we have any plans on a given day, because I always know our schedule weeks, even months in advance. He convinces me to go out and explore the world during our free time, and to visit friends we haven’t seen in a while. Those are things I probably wouldn’t do one my own. He knows how to calm me down when other people stress me out, and he always understands when I need to take some time for myself and go for a run or a swim to process my emotions. We don’t really fight very often, but I think that’s because we are so used to the other person’s differences. I don’t always understand him and the way he thinks, and vice versa, but we both appreciate that our lives (and ourselves) are better because of each other.”

INFJ With ESTP

“I am an INFJ who dated an ESTP for five years. It was a great relationship with lots of passion and excitement. The ESTP really helped bring me out of my shell and pushed me to try things I would normally avoid, such as clubs, big parties, and risky activities. It really changed my perspective on life and I am grateful for all the time we spent together. The main challenge we faced was he was frustrated with my unwillingness to try things, and slight pretentiousness with finding activities like partying a waste of time. I would be frustrated with his inability to plan past the next week or dig into deeper, philosophical and hypothetical subjects. We made it work most of the relationship by throwing each other a bone. I would attend parties, but it was completely ok with my ESTP if I left early or hid outside for people breaks, and my ESTP would keep me stimulated by talking about here and now subjects we could both dig into, such as current events, pop culture, and politics.”

“INFJ here who was with an ESTP for almost 2 years, and it didn’t work. Pretty much for all the reasons you’d expect. There may have been some times we brought out the best in each other but they were few and far between. He would get irritated when I didn’t want to be around others 24/7, he had no concept of needing to recoup after social gatherings, he wasn’t into deep conversations unless he was drunk. I couldn’t keep up with his extraversion. I am very goal-oriented and he couldn’t even make plans for the next day. I would erroneously assign meanings to actions of his that he wouldn’t even remember doing. I had high expectations for him and he would keep things from me when he knew he hadn’t met them. I think what attracted me to him was his ability to live in the moment, something I strived for theoretically and came up short on my own, but could accomplish with him. However, all in all, it was a disaster, and true to INFJ form, I couldn’t leave until he left me first. And it took forever to get over. I don’t think I will knowingly get involved with an ESTP again.”

“INFJ here. I was briefly in a relationship with an ESTP, and it was very fun while it lasted. Dude knew how to have a good time, and his charm really swept me off my feet. Plus it was so refreshing to have someone come out and so directly pursue me and let me know that I was what he wanted. No head games at all, it completely disarmed me.

But things started to break down pretty quickly, when the con artist part of him started to become more apparent. Also, I think he felt intimidated and/or frustrated by what he called my “intellectualism”, my tendency to over-analyze everything. And to be fair, I was a bit of an emotional hurricane during this time, and was not in a good place to handle things, so ended up withdrawing when I think he would have liked things to continue. In any case, it was definitely an interesting experience. It helped me explore a side of myself that I very rarely let out of the box.”

“I am an INFJ and my fiance is an ESTP. The biggest difference is that I am often emotional and seriously struggle to just let things be while he is able to watch movies, hear awful stories and have terrible nightmares but still be okay. I hold on to things. I am cautious and think about things while he is more of a risk taker. He grounds me but is still spontaneous. He likes to care for things and people. A huge struggle that I’ve learned to just deal with is that if I see a chore to be done, I will do it then and there. He will get it done but on his own time. Which could mean hours later. I am more proactive and a planner. He is more logical yet laid back.”

ENTP With ISFJ

“ENTP here. I’ve had plenty of romantic dealings with ISFJs. They like to have clear and succinct thoughts directed toward them. Being ENTP, I can kinda do the Ne-Ti rambling and making connections to everything to demonstrate the validity and intellectual nature of my thoughts. At times, it’s appreciated, but also intimidating or hard to follow or both. Considering that they were all more traditional women, pursuit is very important to them. I think one thing I like about them that can also be difficult is they have a strange tug-of-war between having autonomy but also being nurturing in that, and at times their independence can get in the way of secure attachment when they’re so dependent on Si guiding their thoughts. The health of the person is stupidly important to for both parties to feel they can explore the relationship further. I think there’s at times this strange poetic admiration of admiring strengths of each other, but it’s difficult to meet in the middle if there’s some sort of other obtrusive physical or mental hangup preventing that from happening.”

“ENTP and I was married to an ISFJ. Needless to say, we are divorced. The I/E divide I can deal with because I think I’m a very introverted extravert. But the S/N is a total deal killer. Even the F drives me nuts sometimes but I can appreciate it. But the S/N…never again. I am dating an INTJ which is a great fit in this relationship (except that INTJ’s can analyze everything under a microscope and I’m too busy tossing out my next group of ideas…) though he has a better grasp of F then I do and that helps. But it’s the NT/NT that I’m really attracted to. I think another ENTP would be fun as well.”

INTP with ESFJ

“I am an INTP and my long-term boyfriend is an ESFJ. I love that he will do anything for other people, and I wish I was more like that myself; that is why I was attracted to him in the first place. I have to remember that we respond to struggles differently though, so that I don’t get overly logical and shut him out. But honestly, I think making my opposite-type relationship work is just about both of us being kind, patient individuals who always want to see things from someone else’s perspective. That can apply to any Myers-Briggs type pair.”

“I’m an ESFJ married to INTP – it helps that I over communicate as it makes sure we talk about issues rather than him letting them ruminate. Great to have his big picture thinking to balance out my tendency to get caught in the details (and them feels!).”

“I am an ESFJ, and though it’s not a romantic relationship, my best friend and roommate is an INTP. One big problem that we face is our disagreement on the importance of cleanliness, but we meet in the middle! I try not to freak out about a little clutter, and she tries to keep the room in order! Also, I tend to go out a little more and she likes to be alone in the room more than I do! But sometimes I get her to come with me and other times she gets me to slow down and stay home. Lastly, we have very different stress habits. I overreact about every problem, and she underreacts. But she calms me down, and I help her care more! We have many personality differences, but for the most part, they balance each other out!”

ENFJ with ISTP

“I’m an ISTP and my boss for the past 12 years is an ENFJ. We need to work hard to understand each other, and we don’t have a ton in common, but we know we need each other. We value each others’ strengths and skills and complement each other very well. The funny thing is that we have both scored really high as Maximizers in the Strenths Finder, and I think that really helps!”

“I’m an ENFJ married to an ISTP for 15 years. For the most part, it’s pretty well balanced. He makes me stay home more and I get him out of the house. The problem is that as an introvert, if he loses friends, he doesn’t replace them. I’m the only adult he talks to currently that he’s not blood related to and it makes me crazy. I can’t be the only one he depends on for socialization. He’s freaky smart and mechanical, but cannot manage to do daily tasks, like his brain can’t function on such a low level. It’s a very passionate pairing, but both of our feelings can get hurt easily. I’m the first to communicate that, and I only know of his feelings after I make him angry or upset enough to just tell me.”

INFP with ESTJ

“I am an INFP who dated an ESTJ for about a year. It was great at first, I liked how take-charge he was and we both worked hard to understand each other. But eventually I realized that he was only going to be happy as long as I was going along with exactly what he wanted. He was so logical that it was maddening after a while and it started to feel controlling. I do think his heart was in the right place though and he’d be a great boyfriend for someone else. I just realized I really need to be with another NF.”

“A friend of mine (INFP) was dating an ESTJ. It did not work out. Main issues were regular misunderstandings (nuanced communication, unrelated mind jumps vs direct communication). The ESTJ was confused by the INFP’s indecisiveness and playful ideas and suggestions whereas the INFP had difficulties understanding the no-nonsense-attitude. The male ESTJ was behind 2 years age-wise, probably that is why the usual dominance was balanced out. Apart from that they had several common interests and many interesting, deep conversations. It could have worked out somehow, but probably it is easier for NFs to feel connected to the core.”

ISFP with ENTJ

“I’m an ISFP and I dated an ENTJ when I was younger. He was really honest and straightforward and that was great because I’m not usually one to make the first move. But after a while I couldn’t handle the constant criticisms and lectures. He brought out my temper, which isn’t easy to do and I don’t like that part of myself. Overall I think it’s a good relationship for self-improvement but I wouldn’t date another ENTJ. I’m with an ISTJ now and we balance each other out really well.”

ENFP with ISTJ

“I am an ENFP and he is an ISTJ. The main challenge I face is that we are complete opposites. I am extremely sensitive to everything, and he is not. I care about everything, I study a lot and talk about everything. Meanwhile he, only laughs about stupid things and makes fun of everything. BUT he pulls me down to earth. He makes me understand that we are all different and that it is okey to be like that. He never gets my hints, but he tries SO HARD to make me feel cared and special. That it is worth it. We accept each other differences and we don’t expect to change each other. Because then it wouldn’t be fun to discover so much different stuff anymore.”

“I am an ENFP, he is an ISTJ. We are complete and total opposites in every possible way you could imagine. He hates change and travel and has a very rigid way of thinking (in my opinion) and doesn’t like anything spontaneous. I am obviously the opposite and it feels sometimes like he is holding me back.

It is a balance in that I let him do what he likes and I do what I like. I am fiercely independent and love being around friends and don’t necessarily want a love interest who wants to be around me 24/7. I would get bored… so, in that way, it works. However, it also gets lonely sometimes and I long for a partner in crime for my adventures.

We do have some interesting conversations, but he also doesn’t talk much. So, when I can get him to talk, they can be very interesting as our views, while the same (both liberal etc.) are still SO different as we are coming at things from such different places.”

“My ISTJ husband is very action oriented, he could spend all day doing errands which I hateeee whereas I can spend all day reading an interesting book or researching/learning more about something weird like the Fermi paradox. We understand that about each other now so we just give each other space for those activities when needed.

Communication: sometimes still an issue when it comes to him addressing relationship problems, which I just have to keep annoying him to get him to open up about. But I really feel like he’s “stepped up the ladder” in terms of talking and speculating about weird things that I enjoy. This just took time and an open mind on his part. Just as us Intuitives have learned “how to speak Sensor” (just from being around S so much in daily life) I think that they can do the same!

Routine: this might seem really mundane but he’s very routine so he’ll eat literally the same thing every day for months straight until he finds a new thing he likes that he will then proceed to eat for months straight, etc. So my solution was to sign up for Blue Apron that way we have variety 3 days a week. Also he goes on all my weird little adventures with me… for example he was right there when I decided we should sell all of our stuff after grad school and move to South Korea to teach English.

Anyway, I feel like we really balance each other… if it wasn’t for me he’d be eating chicken and rice every day whereas if he wasn’t in my life I’d probably never have any toilet paper!”

“I am ENFP married to and business partner with ISTJ for twelve years. Our mutual love and striving for our business keeps us together and our roles fill each other’s holes. This is also the case with parenting. He has given me so much freedom that I can’t push against anything and that keeps me to him. I have been completely faithful to him (surprise) but before him I was flitting around to experience everything and everyone. I love him for his endearing ISTJ traits – his love of history and his honour and his punctuality! He can’t give me the (emotional) support I need and that has been my self-growth to learn to believe in myself.”

“I am an ISTJ and I’m in a long term relationship with an ENFP. I’d say that our biggest challenges include not interpreting situations the same way, leading to arguments, me being a little too responsible and naggy for his liking, and him taking things a little too personally. I feel that to overcome these things, just as all couples do, we have to keep the lines of communication open at all times and be very willing to compromise or make sacrifices to our pride or ego. If you really want to be with someone, you have to work towards it!”

“I’m an ENFP who dated an ISTJ. At first it was great. Our opposites were attractive until about 3 months in. I began to resent his rigidity, lack of spontaneity, and in my opinion, dullness. I know he had issues with me as well, however they didn’t come out until after we broke up. Overall, we couldn’t communicate. I would try, he wouldn’t listen, to which I would tell him and he agreed but it never changed. And I dug deeper into a hole. In the big picture, we just had different styles, which are tangible to me now after learning more about MBTI. I thought I was crazy for not being able to make it work with him as he was (is) one of the best people I have ever met. Ever. Now I know. Now I understand. Now I trust my gut much more.”

“I am an ENFP. My first love was with an ISTJ. We were on and off for 3 years. It was magnetic and electrifying and changed my life. He was a great listener, calm and steady but showed his creativity through arranging carefully planned dates and gifts. He taught me the value of consistency and loyalty and helped me live more in the moment. I made him cry and get in touch with feelings and inspired him to dream bigger in his life.

I loved him truly and deeply but I had a nagging feeling that if I married him like we were thinking about I would be settling. The N and S divide was too great. I remember having a frank discussion with him about our future. I told him that I didn’t feel like we could have as much deep conversation like I wanted and I also felt like I wanted more adventure in life. He told me begged me that we could go to counseling and that he could do those things. He felt like there was something wrong with him. At the very beginning of our relationship when I was still very much entangled in the fundamentalist church I grew up in. I would tell him that he was not “spiritual” enough. I mistook my N function as a sign that I was more devout. Later I realized that his ability to be in the moment was just as spiritual as my existential struggling.

I wish I could tell him now that it wasn’t his fault that it was just our Myers-Briggs types working against each other. That he didn’t need to change a thing. I still have a bittersweet nostalgia when I hear his name but I know I did the right thing. I am now married to an INTJ and its beautiful and crazy hard trying to get along but I feel like I am living out my life purpose better with him. When I met my husband, there was a calm quiet knowing that this was my path. No fear or anxiety even when conflict arose. With my ISTJ first love, there was an amazing rollercoaster of experiences and feelings but knots in my stomach constantly when I thought about our future.

I found this quote on Personality Junkie in an article called “ENFP Relationships, Love, & Compatibility” that sums my ex and I up. “Early in their type development, ENFPs may be attracted to the stability and consistency of SJ types (i.e., ESTJs, ISTJs, ISFJs, ESFJs), especially those who display similar values and worldviews. This is due to the fact that SJs outwardly embody the ENFP’s own inferior function (Si), which they instinctively sense is an important element in their journey toward wholeness. And while ENFPs may experience satisfying relationships with SJs later in life, following years of growth and development, pairing with SJs in their younger years often proves unsatisfying, once the initial infatuation has worn off. It may even stifle the personal growth and type development of both partners as they go about “crutching” each other’s inferior function.” – Quote by Dr. A.J. Drenth.”

ENFP here. One day, I may find another website where I focus more than DXPNET and up and leave.
Are there any sites that you've found already that you're considering switching to?
Haha, you want me out that bad?



I didn't mean it that way, lol. 🙂 I was just curious because I'm wondering about joining other forums too.
I have not looked into really other forums. Normally I wait until I get too pisspoor emotional over a fucktard small of a situation, try to flip the entire forum, and run off with my tail between my legs. In words of Australians, I'm too damn emotion and hypersensitive. 😉

My best suggestion though is to tour through some of the other astrology forums. Get a look into their threads to get an idea of how they are now. I would love to find a forum with a good population of Sagi, Aqua, and Virgo though.
click to expand

haha, well hopefully if you leave you'll have your tail wagging with enthusiasm for where you're going next. 🙂

I've been checking out other astro forums but so far haven't seen anything I want to spend much time with. But the personalitycafe forums Damnata mentioned look good and the interface is nicer than most forums too.

How Each Myers-Briggs Personality Type Is Likely To Die

INTP: Accidentally sets themselves on fire in a freak science experiment. Starts taking notes about the fire’s rate of burning and consequently forgets to put it out.

ESTP: Tries base jumping without any training because it looked straight-forward enough.

INFJ: Starves to death in a hunger strike to raise awareness about the dire state of society.

ENFJ: Meets another ENFJ and accidentally crushes each other from hugging too aggressively.

INFP: Accidentally walks into an open manhole while caught up in a particularly enthralling daydream.

ISTJ: Is killed fighting for their country. Or state. Or son’s little league team. Really, any cause that vaguely needs a hero to die for it.

ENTP: An elaborate magic trick gone wrong.

ENFP: Decides to go on a “Fun Jungle Adventure!” alone, without a map, and never returns.

ENTJ: Is elaborately murdered by an underling who wanted their job.

ISFJ: Donates a vital organ to someone who needed it more than they did.

ESFP: Stays awake for five straight days because there were a lot of great parties going on and they had FOMO. Dies from exhaustion.

ESTJ: Is attacked by a group of miscreant youths whom they stop to lecture on the street.

INTJ: Dies in a car accident caused by the fact that they were driving too cautiously.

ISTP: Joins an underground Fight Club to unleash their bottled-up feelings toward ‘The Man’ and loses the wrong fight.

ESFJ: Is murdered for accidentally blabbing the wrong person’s secret.

ISFP: Stages their own death to avoid confrontation with a loved one. Might still be alive out there somewhere – we’ll never really know.

How To Motivate Each Myers-Briggs Personality Type

ENTP – Tell them it can’t be done.

ENTPs love a challenge – almost as much as they love proving other people wrong. The #1 way to ensure that an ENTP is going to do something is to present it to them in a way that implies you think it can’t be done. They’ll throw their entire beings into proving you wrong.

ENFP – Tell them that if anyone can do it, it’s them.

ENFPs thrive on feelings of empowerment. They want to impress and inspire others at all costs, so if you suggest that there’s a challenge only they can rise to, it’s the surest way of getting them on board. They’re eager to prove themselves and show the world that their wildest dreams can become a reality.

ENFJ – Tell them you need guidance to help get it done.

ENFJs aim to serve as all-knowing mentors to those around them. The #1 way to motivate them is to act as though their guidance is essential to accomplishing a given task or project. They’ll jump at the chance to teach you what they know and help you reach your target.

ISFJ – Tell them you’re counting on them to get it done.

ISFJs take the commitments they make to others incredibly seriously. If you tell them that a given task falls on their shoulders and that you’re relying on them to complete it, they’ll strive endlessly to make sure it gets done. This type is loyal above all else.

INFP – Tell them it needs to be done in a unique and unprecedented way.

INFPs are wildly creative and take pride in their ability to see things from unique, artistic angles that others simply cannot seem to grasp. If you tell them that a task requires a special artistic flare in order to complete it, they will eagerly step up to bat. Creative endeavours are this type’s time to shine.

INTJ – Tell them that nobody can figure out the best way to get it done.

INTJs are the ultimate optimizers. They are able to pinpoint the most efficient way to do just about anything, and they often grow frustrated by others’ blatant inability to do the same. If you want a task done in the best way possible, give it to an INTJ. And let them know that you’re relying on their competence.

ENTJ – Tell them the long-term benefits of doing it.

ENTJs are strategic, long-term planners who will do almost anything to guarantee themselves a better future. If you sell an ENTJ on the long-term benefits of getting a specific task done, they’ll be implementing plans for it before you can finish saying, “Please.”

ISTJ – Tell them nobody else is going to do it unless they do.

ISTJs are the ultimate duty-fulfillers and they understand that most of the important things in life just won’t get done unless they do it themselves. Does this make them bitter? Sometimes. But does it also make them efficient workers? Absolutely. Tell an ISTJ that a task rests squarely on their shoulders and you can bet your ass they’ll hustle to get it completed.

ESTJ – Tell them the immediate, tangible benefits of doing it.

ESTJs are all about doing what works. If you are able to provide them with a list of clear, tangible outcomes of getting a task done, nothing will stand in their way of completing it. This type is ceaselessly action-oriented and if they see a logical reason to complete a given project, they’ll already be working on doing so.

ESFJ – Tell them that someone they love needs it done.

There’s almost nothing an ESFJ wouldn’t do to help out a loved one in need. This type takes immediate action to support the people they’re close to and if the task at hand is going to improve someone’s circumstances, they’ll be on it. No questions asked (Okay, a few questions asked).

INFJ – Tell them you need their insight to help get it done.

INFJs understand the world around them in a unique, insightful manner. And they want to use that insight to help the people they love. When you ask this type to help you by providing insight into what you’re attempting, you’re both playing to their strengths and engaging their empathetic nature. Their inner motivation will rile.

ESFP – Tell them how impressed others will be if they do it.

ESFPs love the spotlight –and consequently, they are willing to go out on a limb to achieve it. If you explain how completing a given task will earn them the limelight and make them seem impressive to others, the ESFP will be clamoring to complete it in no time.

ISFP – Tell them that only the most creative people are capable of getting it done.

ISFPs have an entirely unique world-view and they know it. By telling this type that you need a creative spin to be taken on a particular project, you’ll ensure that they’ll step up to the plate. They harness any chance to shine creatively.

INTP – Tell them that everyone else is using inaccurate methods of getting it done.

INTPs are ceaselessly frustrated by the idiotic methods others use to gather and decide on information. By telling them that information is being construed incorrectly, you’ll play on their major pet peeve and motivate them to show everyone else how things ought to be getting done.

ISTP – Tell them there’s a shortcut to getting it done.

ISTPs are the masters of analyzing and finding loopholes within systems. If you tell them there’s a quick, painless method of getting something done, they’ll be all over finding that method. And then using it to complete the task at hand.

ESTP – Tell them they’re the only ones capable of doing it.

ESTPs like to think of themselves as superheroes. Straight-shooters by nature, this type has no problem taking immediate action to get just about any task done – so long as they see a reason to do it. And telling them they’re the only ones who can is almost always reason enough.

17 ISFJs Explain The One Thing They Wish Others Understood About Their Personality

1. “We can be creative too. We’re not just sweet grandmas who live to serve others.”

3. “We actually love doing things for people but we need to be appreciated.”

4. “I think about things and feel things much more deeply than I’m given credit for – I think this is true of most ISFJs. We spend our alone time reading and taking in information and we are like walking encyclopedias in a lot of ways! We just keep most of that to ourselves because people don’t tend to ask about it.”

5. “We may not be the best at intense logical arguments, but give us a few hours and we’ll have made our point clear.”

6. “We’re prone to burning out from giving all we’ve got to our loved ones in need, and sometimes we need to be taken care of too.”

7. “I don’t know how to tell people no, which leads to me getting stressed out over all the things I have to do. Try not to overburden ISFJs just because you know that they won’t tell you no.”

8. “We are the most social introverts you’ll meet but we also like to be alone and sometimes can’t stand people. We get the benefits of both worlds but it depends on the individual’s energy for social activity and where they fall on the introvert/extrovert scale.”

9. “We can have strong opinions too, we just don’t always voice them because we feel overshadowed by more aggressive, extroverted types. But please don’t assume that if we’re not speaking up, it means we agree with what’s being said. A lot of the time it just means we don’t feel comfortable sharing our thoughts.”

10. “If I say that I love you, I really, really mean it.”

11. “We tend to be passive aggressive when a problem arises for fear of disruption or disagreement in close relations. Just let us know when we do that and since we value the relationship, we will state what we want more clearly. We can’t stand when we have an enemy.”

12. “We’re perfectionists and our own biggest critics. If we are honest with you about that it means we really trust you.”

13. “We put a big emotional value on relationships we make, and are hurt when those feelings are not reciprocated!”

14. “We seem more outgoing than we are because never want our friends to feel like we’re not enjoying spending time with them. But we actually need a lot of alone time. It’s how we recharge.”

15. “If we’re complaining or sounding pessimistic it’s just because we always want to be prepared for the worst. It’s not because we think life is all bad. In fact, we’re usually pretty happy with the way things are.”

16. “I might have just met you last week, but all it takes is one meaningful connection for me to feel like we’ve been friends forever.”

23 INFPs Explain The One Thing They Wish Others Understood About Their Personality

1. “We’re NOT weepy space cadets. We’re highly capable of dealing with details, executing strategy and making rational decisions. I run two businesses. And I’m a strong INFP.”

2. “Even though yes, I do take things personally, I want you to be honest so I can give/provide exactly what you need or find someone/some thing that can.”

3. “We can be super mean if you try hard enough to piss us off. There’s no grey area in terms of emotions, I think. It’s either LOVE or GET OUT.”

4. “Never underestimate us.”

5. “You may never see it, but we can have the wackiest personalities ever.”

6. “Leading with introverted feeling can be exhausting and frustrating. My inner values may not align with what you think. I’m not necessarily out to save the world. Being so much in my head actually feels hugely selfish. Sometime I really wish I weren’t an INFP. “

7. “While we may be dreamers, we have deep passions and talents to use.”

8. “Just because I experience intense emotions, doesn’t mean I’m going to let you walk all over me. If you treat me wrong, you’re out of my life. End of story.”

9. “I need a lot of alone time but I also get intensely lonely. I think that so many of us really do ache for someone who would care enough to break down our walls.”

10. “Treat us as equals because nothing hurts as much as being patronized.”

11. “Having strong emotions makes us neither illogical nor unintelligent. And we can despise stupidity as much as the stereotypical INTJ.”

12. “It’s like in sitting in the bottom of a wishing well. We are surrounded by beautiful hopes and dreams, but after being alone for so long, I just want someone to look into the well and say, ‘Look, I’ve found something precious…’ and it’s me they’re seeing, just as I am, not their own beautiful wishes. I want someone to hold onto me and not let me go, especially when I’m feeling bad and lashing out as a result.”

13. “If we are pulling away it probably means you’re not living up to our high expectations we’ve built up for you in our heads and we’re exhausted from being disappointed.”

14. “We’re not flighty or pushovers. We WILL speak up when something is important to us.”

15. “INFPs are not unreliable. I do have a high extrovert function so I can interact. I am creative, love pushing the envelope, but I can also be meticulous, detail oriented, and have a better understanding of introversion and emotions than I might have in the past.”

16. “Sometimes when I apologize, it’s just because I value our relationship more than the issue at hand. But I don’t necessarily think I’m wrong.”

17. “The reason we don’t open up very often is because we have humungous ideals that other people love to laugh at or poke holes through. And we don’t care to deal with those who don’t believe in us.”

18. “I’m not JUST a sensitive introvert. I am thoughtful and enjoy people too.”

19. “I usually know exactly what I need to do in order to achieve what I want. I just haven’t gotten around to doing it, because the external world exhausts me. Please stop treating me like a baby who can’t figure out their next move.”

20. “When I’m pensive and untalkative, that doesn’t mean I’m sad or I hate you. I just need time to think to myself.”

21. “We love people, there is nothing that I feel more grateful for than my friends and family, maybe we don’t say much sometimes, but that doesn’t mean we don’t adore you!”

22. “INFPs are not all the same. Dancing to the beat of a different drummer doesn’t mean we are all dancing to the same alternative drummer.”

23. “Just because we are extremely idealistic doesn’t mean we don’t understand the reality of situations. Yes, we have a tendency to live in our inner world but we are also very in touch with the outside world as well.”

16 ENTPs Explain The One Thing They Wish Others Understood About Their Personality

1. “When we argue with you… If you can even call it arguing… We honestly have no ill will and no malicious intent. Half the time we don’t even realize it’s an argument. We’re just exercising our brain in our favorite way, and that way is word sparring. ENTPs don’t walk away from a conflict or argument feeling upset, irritated, or hurt the way other types do. Actually, we forget said conflict ever happened.”

2. “We don’t hate you. We love you. We are having fun. And/or picking your brain to get to know you.”

3. “It’s almost impossible for us to hold a grudge.”

4. “We are the opposite of the INTJ in that we seem warmer than we really are. I think most of us struggle to make real connections and end up lonely in a crowded room.”

5. “We may not stay in contact every day and say I love you. But we will rush to your side and defend you when it really counts. Love isn’t words. What I really want is to be there for you when it really matters.”

6. “Having Ne means finding everything interesting and being able to understand different perspectives. it doesn’t mean I believe in all of them or that I am unsure, I am merely awesome at sewing things from different perspectives. My own thoughts are actually filtered and analyzed. You don’t get to see much of that.”

7. “The fact us ENTP and ENFPs are always excited and curious to try out different paths does not mean we are too flighty to stay in a relationship or career. It simply means it’s harder for us to find the career that is fulfilling enough or that relationship that feeds into our curiosity, ideas and grounds us.”

8. “We can appear cold, callous, and argumentative on the outside, but on the inside, we’re an ocean of insecurity. We act and talk the way we do because it’s therapeutic, and the greatest gift anyone can give us is understanding.”

9. “We challenge because we care. (Well, also because it’s fun.)”

10. “Just because I don’t express feelings that often doesn’t mean I don’t have them, it just means they take a while to fully develop. I might shrug off this big thing now and I’ll probably actually forget about it, but when my shoelaces break two months from now, everything may come pouring out at once.”

11. “I love engaging in activities that make me forget about reasoning, like falling in love or helping people.”

12. “We are not bad at finishing projects. We are bad at staying in engaged when we long ago knew the solution before you even got started. so we lay it out, hope you follow and walk away to the next idea.”

13. “I say provoking things just to get a stimulating answer from you.”

14. “I prioritize novelty and freedom over security and obligations, so if I commit myself to something/someone it means that I care A LOT. I do not do things for recognition or reward. I want knowledge, experience, to feel alive in the moment. And if I am no longer passionate about something/someone, I have no trouble moving on and finding that spark elsewhere. This doesn’t mean I’m a commitment-phobe or aimless.”

15. “We can’t clean the house. Don’t ask us.”

16. “It isn’t laziness or procrastination. We’ve run the scenarios and possible outcomes. We probably got everything we wanted from the idea by just using the idea as a mental exercise. If we don’t jump into hyper focus mode and pursue it, then it isn’t practical for us (at least at that time) or the cost may be higher then the return (financially or socially). This is Okay, because we have already gained a lot just by chasing the idea and that was the real goal.”

24 INFJs Explain The One Thing They Wish Others Understood About Their Personality

1. “We aren’t the gods of over-feeling. We have strengths when it comes to empathy, but that doesn’t mean we’re the best. Also, INFJs can be influential in the arts… and the sciences.”

2. “Even though I may give off an intense vibe, I’m really easy to talk to. As long as one is being genuine and honest with me, I will greatly appreciate them for trusting me to show me their vulnerability.”

3. “I understand you because I can strongly empathize with you, but that doesn’t mean that how you feel or think is necessarily how I feel and think.”

4. “No matter how I come off, my actions are usually carried out with good intentions to help or provide insight… but I can be intense… and misunderstood.”

5. “Intuition isn’t magic, or assuming, or guessing. Stop rolling your eyes for a second and I’ll absolutely try to translate what made me think something in a more linear way. It’ll be messy because it’s probably something about people, and people are complicated, but I’ll keep trying as long as you’re patient with me.”

6. “It’s not like we want to be special, hypersensitive and misunderstood. The order of our cognitive functions makes us very exhausted and a lot of us wish they were another type. We have to accept ourselves and it’s not always that easy.”

7. “I’m really tired of people telling me I’m too sensitive. Especially when I’m usually their biggest advocate. And also, my strong sense of right and wrong, and attention to detail doesn’t make me a snob.”

8. “Don’t be so willing to let us shut you out. We can be difficult, but encourage us to let you into our strange, spectacular inner world.”

9. “I really don’t have an ulterior motive of personal gain; I really do just want you/the situation’s potential to be realized.”

10. “Our need for peace and harmony can make it difficult to understand our own feelings because we want the other person to be happy. Give the INFJ time to sift through and decide how they really feel about issues.”

11. “There’s more to me than being sweet or my resting bitch face exterior.”

12. “My passion and feelings are not a negative, they are just different from the thinkers ways. It takes time and energy to live in middle, but we do want to live that way… it just takes more energy to do so than others have to expend.”

13. “Though we may appear outwardly confident and self-assured, we are often crippled with self-doubt internally. More than anything we just want someone to understand us the way we seem to understand everyone else. Even having someone sincerely make the effort would feel like enough.”

14. “We get stressed and sometimes it’s best to give us our space.”

15. “We may look dreamy and mysterious but we are super perceptive about situations and have clarity regarding how other person’s core personality is. The only one able to fool/delude ourselves is us and don’t lie to us unless you want to get cold shouldered.”

16. “I would always rather spend time individually with each person at a time, than be in a large group where people are competing to talk.”

17. “Don’t treat us like we’re crazy if we do happen to actually let you in, Especially if we’re not as confident in our intuition just yet. It took a lot to trust you and if you take that for granted, you would’ve been kinder to just set us on fire.”

18. “We’re not psychic. We’re not. We are constantly aware of how we imagine people to be feeling, and we treat them as such, and very often we’re right (because of those killer intuitive instincts), but sometimes we’re wrong. It’s not a foolproof thing.”

19. “I’m not actually an extrovert who wants to singlehandedly save all the orphans and bring down corrupt governments. I just cry about not being an extrovert who had enough energy to save all the orphans and bring down corrupt governments.”

20. “I judge myself as harshly as I judge you.”

21. “I am NOT perfect. I just don’t like broadcasting my problems to the world. If I have told you about them, then that means I really trust you, so congratulations to you for getting me to open up.”

22. “We have problems with working out our own emotions from what we perceive everyone else’s emotional state may be. We value truth and genuineness over anything else. The thing is, if we for any reason begin doubting our gut or intuition in terms of relationships because of something you did that broke our trust, things tend to fall apart. We retreat into our heads and obsess over, question, and relieve every event until we are so worked up that the relationship crashes.””

23. “Don’t take it personally if we are really into you one week and totally closed off and hermit-y the next. We still really like you; we just need alone time.”

24. “I sometimes know you better than you do but I’m still always working on finding myself.”

The Sense of Humor that Each Myers-Briggs Type Possesses

We all enjoy a good laugh, but not all of us find the same things funny. Everyone has a unique brand of humor that is special to them. Here are the different styles of humor that each personality type possesses.



INFJ

INFJs often have a very unique and interesting sense of humor. Since they are so kind and warm people expect them to have a very innocent sense of humor, but that is usually not true. INFJ be often be crude of even morbid with their jokes. They have a caring nature but people are often shocked by the type of things that the INFJ find funny. They can find humor in situations that other people would never imagine to be funny at all. The INFJ may slightly alter their humor delivery in front of others, depending on who they are around. They are acutely aware of those people will perceive them, and know what crowd they are sharing themselves with. When they are with someone who they can open up with, they have a way of bringing them into their infectious style of comedy.

ENFJ

The ENFJ has a sense of humor that is often molded to fit their surroundings. They know exactly how their jokes will be perceived by certain people, and know who will be offended. So they often avoid upsetting people and will tone themselves down in front of certain company. Their natural sense of humor is often very goofy and silly, and they may have an affinity for sarcasm. They can have a somewhat dark humor and are aware that, that isn’t perceived well by everyone. They enjoy having people that they can share their full sense of humor with. When they do they are often sarcastic and silly, and enjoy making others laugh.

INFP

INFPs often have a strong appreciation for sarcasm and absurd humor. They have a skill for self-deprecating comedy that people absolutely love. They are often very funny individuals, to the people who can fully appreciate their off-beast sense of humor. They have a very unique wit that is best expressed around people they are comfortable with. Not everyone can enjoy the zany and sometimes ridiculous INFP humor, but honestly that is their loss. INFPs have a way of getting people laughing and not letting them stop. They enjoy the ability to bring others joy and humor is an excellent way to do that.

ENFP

ENFPs often have a very enthusiastic and playful sense of humor. They have a very colorful wit and often have a strong enjoyment for the use of puns. They may occasionally offend people when they are really just trying to make them share in their laughter. They have a way of teasing others, and that is actually a way of showing affection towards them. ENFPs enjoy their ability to laugh and smile at everything, even the darkest situations. Even though they aren’t always “silly” they do tend to maintain a sense of humor through anything. They have a way of making even the

They have a way of making even the dullest situations hilarious. This keeps the ENFP positive and helps those that surround the ENFP enjoy themselves too.



INTJ

INTJs often have a very snarky sense of humor. They enjoy using sarcasm and wit to create a well devised response. They have a natural way of seeing the humor in things that other people may actually miss. INTJs often enjoy the use of a good pun and can take pleasure in the skill behind it. Often their deadpan sarcasm can come across as serious, when the INTJ is actually very playful and just trying to be funny. For the people that appreciate the INTJs brand of humor, they understand just how fun they are to be around.

ENTJ

ENTJs can have a somewhat outrageous sense of humor. They enjoy pushing the envelope to gauge the different reactions they will receive from others. They aren’t afraid of being seen as ridiculous, so they often push the limits of what others may perceive as funny. They enjoy shock humor, and have a way of surprising their friends that often makes them enjoy being around the ENTJ. They are often very quick with wit and can respond to people before they even realize a joke is coming. They may have a somewhat crude sense of humor that might offend some people who cannot appreciate it.

INTP

INTPs have a very unique sense of humor, one that is either adored or misunderstood. Some people are not made for the brand of sarcasm and goofy wit that the INTP possess. The people that do appreciate the INTP sense of humor probably find themselves in stitches rather often. They have a way of turning just about anything into a sarcastic punchline and are very good are creating a witty retort. They often enjoy the usage of puns in their humor as well. INTPs have a diverse sense of comedy that really just depends on the mood they are in. They do know their target audience rather well and are skilled at adapting to that if they so choose.

ENTP

ENTPS have a very outgoing and over the top sense of humor. They enjoy the use of shock which can be somewhat crude. Because of this the ENTP occasionally have a sick or morbid timing for their jokes, but the people who know them well understand where they are coming from. They will explore the jokes that other people wouldn’t dare touch because it is “too far”. For people who appreciate this dry and crude type of humor, the ENTP is a fantastic friend to have around. They enjoy making people laugh and enjoy being as witty and inclusive as possible.



ISTJ

ISTJs are often seen as too serious to enjoy humor, but that is definitely not the case. Many people may miss the humor behind the ISTJs comments, because their delivery is very sarcastic and dry. Sometimes their ability to maintain a very deadpan delivery of their jokes, can cause people to miss the joke completely and believe that the ISTJ is being serious. For people who can pick up on their unique brand of wit, they realize just how funny the ISTJ c

For people who can pick up on their unique brand of wit, they realize just how funny the ISTJ can actually be. Their subtle delivery of humor is an art-form.

ESTJ

ESTJs often have an outgoing and adaptive sense of humor. They are often crude and offbeat and not everyone can appreciate their no holds barred style of jokes. People who are more serious or easily offended, definitely will not enjoy the ESTJs sense of humor. If someone is more laid-back and willing to see the jokes for what they are, they will definitely appreciate the way the ESTJ can make just about anything funny. When the ESTJ is uncomfortable they often make jokes to lighten the own mood.

ISFJ

ISFJs often have a surprising sense of humor, one that doesn’t always fit their day-to-day personality. They may shock people with a very sarcastic and inappropriate joke, with the absolute best timing. Their humor might be very silly sometimes, like changing the lyrics to a song or intentionally mispronouncing a word. They enjoy puns and sarcasm and may even enjoy dirty humor that people would find surprising to their gentle personality. They are careful not to offend or upset anyone, so they often reserve their unique humor for the people closest to them who can fully understand where they are coming from.

ESFJ

ESFJs are capable of enjoying many different kinds of humor and often adapt their jokes to fit their surroundings. They are capable of reading what others will find funny and often attempt to blend into that. When they are around the people they are most comfortable with their personal style of humor is more openly expressed. ESFJs appreciate puns a great deal and enjoy witty and often surprising humor. They often aren’t pleased with dark or upsetting humor, and can feel like jokes that bring people down are cruel. They do however, enjoy a good dirty joke and can often laugh at the silliest things. ESFJs enjoy laughter very much, and probably favor being in a relationship with someone that they find hilarious.



ISTP

ISTPs often enjoy the use of irony and dark humor very much. They keep to themselves and have a very internal sense of humor. People are often very pleased by the ISTPs jokes and enjoy being around them. They enjoy the use of wordplay and often make their humor interesting and thoughtful. They have a dry delivery most of the time and are extremely deadpan, which can offend some people who misinterpret them. And let’s not forget, they enjoy a good sexual innuendo.

ESTP

ESTPs have an often goofy and unique sense of humor. They find the silliest things funny and can appreciate laughing at things that others scoff at. They enjoy having fun and bring that sense of excitement into their humor. They aren’t afraid of being self-deprecating and enjoy making other people laugh in whatever way is possible. They can often flip from silliness to downright dry humor, and it really just depends on the mood that they are in. They don’t like to stick to one simple style of humor and can appreciate just about anything for what it is. This style of joking makes the ESTP very fun to be around.

ISFP

ISFPs can have a very broad sense of humor and often find many different style s funny. They enjoy silliness and can sometimes be absolutely ridiculous and hard to follow. They often only share this unique side of themselves around certain people who can fully appreciate it. They are very good at being self-deprecating and can laugh at the goofy things that they do. They often tease their friends about similarly goofy actions but are good at doing it in a lighthearted way. ISFP enjoy a good inside joke and love being able to share that laughter with someone special. The people who do not know them closely, probably don’t get to see just how funny the ISFP can be.

ESFP

ESFPs have a very fun and lighthearted sense of humor. They dislike laughing at other people’s expense and often find that sort of comedy cruel and unacceptable. They want their jokes to be fun and enjoyable for everyone. The ESFP likes making people laugh and will often become self-deprecating to do so. They don’t mind being the butt of the joke, as long as everyone is enjoying themselves. ESFPs may make silly jokes by replacing certain song lyrics with their own or changing words to fit something that they find funny. They aren’t always the best at noticing sarcasm, and are much more adept to open humor.

TYPES AS VILLAIN ARCHETYPES

The TYRANT (ENTJ): the bullying despot, he wants power at any price. He ruthlessly conquers all he surveys, crushing his enemies beneath his feet. People are but pawns to him, and he holds all the power pieces. Hesitate before getting in this man’s way – he’ll think nothing of destroying you.

The BASTARD (ESFP) : the dispossessed son, he burns with resentment. He can’t have what he wants, so he lashes out to hurt those around him. His deeds are often for effect – he wants to provoke action in others. He proudly announces his rebellious dealings. Don’t be fooled by his boyish demeanor – he’s a bundle of hate.

The DEVIL (ENFJ) : the charming fiend, he gives people what he thinks they deserve. Charisma allows him to lure his victims to their own destruction. His ability to discover the moral weaknesses in others serves him well. Close your ears to his cajolery – he’ll tempt you to disaster.

The TRAITOR (INFJ) : the double agent, he betrays those who trust him most. No one suspects the evil that lurks in his heart. Despite supportive smiles and sympathetic ears, he plots the destruction of his friends. Never turn your back on him – he means you harm.

The OUTCAST (INTP) : the lonely outsider, he wants desperately to belong. Tortured and unforgiving, he has been set off from others, and usually for good cause. He craves redemption, but is willing to gain it by sacrificing others. Waste no sympathy on him - he’ll have none for you.

The EVIL GENIUS (INTJ) : the malevolent mastermind, he loves to show off his superior intelligence. Intellectual inferiors are contemptible to him and that includes just about everyone. Elaborate puzzles and experiments are his trademark. Don’t let him pull your strings – the game is always rigged in his favor.

The SADIST (ESTP) : the savage predator, he enjoys cruelty for its own sake. Violence and psychological brutality are games to this man; and he plays those games with daring and skill. Run, don’t walk, away from this man – he’ll tear out your heart, and laugh while doing it.

The TERRORIST (ISFP) : the dark knight, he serves a warped code of honor. Self-righteous, he believes in his own virtue, and judges all around him by a strict set of laws. The end will always justify his nefarious means, and no conventional morality will give him pause. Don’t try to appeal to his sense of justice – his does not resemble yours.

The BITCH (ESTJ) : the abusive autocrat, she lies, cheats, and steals her way to the top. Her climb to success has left many a heel mark on the backs of others. She doesn’t care about the peons around her – only the achievement of her dreams matters. Forget expecting a helping hand from her – she doesn’t help anyone but herself.

The BLACK WIDOW (ENFP) : the beguiling siren, she lures victims into her web. She goes after anyone who has something she wants, and she wants a lot. But she does her best to make the victim want to be deceived. An expert at seduction of every variety, she uses her charms to get her way. Don’t be fooled by her claims of love – it’s all a lie.

The BACKSTABBER (ESFJ) : the two-faced friend, she delights in duping the unsuspecting. Her sympathetic smiles enable her to learn her victims’ secrets, which she then uses to feather her nest. Her seemingly helpful advice is just the thing to hinder. Put no faith in her – she’ll betray you every time.

The LUNATIC (ENTP): the unbalanced madwoman, she draws others into her crazy environment. The drum to which she marches misses many a beat, but to her, it is the rest of the world that is out of step. Don’t even try to understand her logic – she is unfathomable.

The PARASITE (ISTP) : the poisonous vine, she collaborates for her own comfort. She goes along with any atrocity, so long as her own security is assured. She sees herself as a victim who had no choice, and blames others for her crimes. Expect no mercy from her – she won’t lift a finger to save anyone but herself.

The SCHEMER (ISTJ) : the lethal plotter, she devises the ruin of others. Like a cat with a mouse, she plays with lives. Elaborate plans, intricate schemes; nothing pleases her more than to trap the unwary. Watch out for her complex designs – she means you no good.

The FANATIC (INFP) : the uncompromising extremist, she does wrong in the name of good. She justifies hers action by her intent, and merely shrugs her shoulders at collateral damage. Anyone not an ally is an enemy, and therefore, fair game. Give up any hope of showing her the error of her ways – she firmly believes you are wrong, wrong, wrong.

The MATRIARCH (ISFJ) : the motherly oppressor, she smothers her loved ones. She knows what’s best and will do all in her power to controls the lives of those who surround her – all for their own good. A classic enabler, she sees no fault with her darlings, unless they don’t follow her dictates. Don’t be lured into her family nest – you’ll never get out alive. 😈

This is the scheme that shows “ideal relationship” between different types.

Here’s the legend:

Id: same type; one is the image of the other one

C.ion: companion; they have similar ways of expression, good reciprocal company

En:enigma; they are totally unrelated in almost every aspect

Pal: friend, pal; they work well together, the conflict is minimal and natural

Sup: supplement; like Pal, but the functions are more removed: one can increase the other’s power

An: soul; the functions are reversed, those that one uses in a conscious way, the other uses in an unconscious way and back

Tr: tribe; they share the same sense of culture, but with different interests and abilities

No: novelty; intriguingly different

C.ent: complement; compatible forces with opposite emphasis

Sui: roommate; a person who you can share the office with. You like similar spaces, but you have little in common about goals and vision of the world

Ad: adviser; one has an introspection area that the other one misses

Nei: neighbour; you get the same conclusions with different processes

Con: contrast; every function is used in a different way

Coh: accomplice; mutually involved in experiences and adventures

Ped: pedagogue; one is mentor and student of the other one, there’s a parent-child relationship

Cou: counterpart; they use similar functions in totally different habitats

Please note! This is a translation from Italian done by a 16-years-old girl, so you can find some mistakes. Take it easy!

MBTI Writers

ISTJ: Writes clearly and directly. Has a surprising amount of imagination and creativity but never takes leave of logic.



ISFJ: Love stories. With cute, happy endings and at least one adorable animal. (Probably considers briefly acting out their psychopathic tendencies on their characters but then decides against it for the sake of their readers.)

ESTJ: Writes the rule book. Plain and simple and easy to understand and indisputable. Or maybe a self biography on how they became a millionaire at twenty-two years of age and a multi billionaire at thirty.

ESFJ: They write a charming cook book. Or a charming guide to home decor. Or a charming book about entertaining guests.

ISTP: Avoids writing, if at all possible. “Why sit there and write about doing something when I can just go out there and do it in half the time?” They might write a manual on fixing something or other. But probably not.

ISFP: Keeps a plant journal in which they sketch odd plants they find and describe what they are like, where they can find them, and why they are nice. Has a similar journal for birds. And for clouds. Or something. All worn leather bound.

ESTP: Don’t let this one fool you. They keep a diary. And they write in it every. Single. Day.

ESFP: They don’t write. Not for very long, at least. They might try their hand at a short story, on a whim, but it is abandoned as quickly as it was picked up.

INFP: ALL THE FANTASY. With lovely prose and a dreamy, imaginative style . Their books are well received. If and when they ever finish them.

INFJ: Writes best sellers. They perfectly capture matters of the heart and mind and create something absolutely breathtaking. But they are their own worst critic. And it takes its toll.

ENFP: They write dramatic and suspenseful first chapters. And then they forget all about it, never to be continued.

ENFJ: Self-help books mostly. Or something with the purpose of making a change in society. To make the world a better place.

INTP: They might also write fantasy. Maybe. But maybe they write tech books with language that only another INTP can understand and everyone else is left scratching their heads at the textbook.

INTJ: Some of them write how-to books on conquering the world or analyses of influential leaders in history. But then there the INTJs who write poetic-like pieces that are at once to-the-point and elegant in style .

ENTP: Trolls the readers. Probably psychological thrillers. These are the ones that run from their publishers.

ENTJ: When they are not too busy ruling the universe, they write about their plans to further the scope of their power

Why the types are dangerous: ESTP edition

They are the Royalty of stealth. Don’t ever take your eyes off them if you want to live. Look away for one second and you’ve already lost

They use their charm to either win you over in .2 seconds or completely unnerve you

Stubborn as heck until they get what they want

Their fierce loyalty to the people they love, when challenged, will result in full blown rage

An ESTP strategizes and calculates things extremely well in ways that no one expects

They aren’t afraid of acting quickly and (often) impulsively

Figure out how to tick people off and use that to manipulate them to their advantage

Why the types are dangerous: INFP

They’re capable of being very analytical even when you don’t think they are

Their emotions run so quickly and intensely that you could get whiplash

INFPs are very elitist about the things they choose to know about

Are they dead? Did they vanish into thin air? Are they avoiding you?You’ll never really know where they are or why.

Stand so firmly in their beliefs that it’s near impossible to get them to change their ways

They have RBF that could melt anyone’s face off

You baby INFPs and treat them like emotional cinnamon rolls, but they’re actually more in control of you than you are of them

Why the types are dangerous: INFJ

They want to be the very best. Like no one ever was. For real.

Experts at concealing their emotions from everyone

They soak in information like a sponge and you’ll never even notice it

INFJs can be hyper-critical of everything and everyone and if you ask for the truth you’re going to get roasted

They have a secretive and mysterious air about them that makes them shady as heck

INFJs have a presence about them that you will always miss until you are with them again

she is smartest person i've ever met, and her level of tolerance and understanding is mind blowing.

Why the types are dangerous: ENFP edition

They can come up with a vast number of creative and new ideas at the tip of hat, you just have to try to keep up

They’re not afraid to tear down or cut people out of their life

ENFPs have strong, absolute morals that they don’t want to cross, and if you cross these, say goodbye to your happy ENFP

Because of their bubbly personality, people underestimate what analytical and deep thinkers ENFPs are

They make unexpected great leaders with their charisma and persuasive charms… or is that subtle manipulation?

Because of their vivacious personalities, they can quickly befriend anyone and everyone, even the people you hate

ENFPs bring such light into people’s lives, leaving a black hole when they leave

i'm jelly of the enfps getting all the love! (edit: the heart emoji vanished :c )

there you go 🙂
