That is kind of cool. I think the ENFP would be the best match for my type, b/c I love listening to crazy stories that come out of people's heads lol.

Thought I would share that I am a celebrating INFP. My husband (of 17 years, plus 6 of dating), is an ESTJ (yes, I swear). We have six children. I think we balance each other. Were it not for him, I would perpetually live with my head in the clouds. Were it not for me, he wouldn't have a sensitive bone in his body. There is something to be said for reaching out for people that complete us, and create a unified person capable of overcoming just about any obstacle. In this day and age of separate bank accounts and vacations, I realize we are a rarity. But we wouldn't have it any other way. Hi,

Socionists use different methods, i.e. - tests, interview etc, VI is not main method of them - only one of methods. Different socionists not rare have different opinions about type of concrete person. Universally recognized school, indisputable guru, procedure of type indentificaton, or a single supervisory organization are absent in socionics. There for, the opinion of www.socionics.com - is not the opinion of "socionics". (P.S. My opinion: type of Sting is probably ENTP, McDowell - ENFJ) 2) If your type is ENFP, then (if types of you and other people are identified right) good types for _intensive, close and long relations_ are: ISTP, ESTJ, ISFP, INTP(it's not bad! whatever who talk), INFJ, ENFP. Bad types for _that kind of relations_ are: ESTP, ISTJ, ENFJ, INFP, ISFJ, ENTJ, INTJ, and in classic ESFJ (I have a doubt in this case). Other are not so bad, but bad for marriage for ex. Intertype relations - is theory (not a fact) based on type modeling of Augustinavichute (Model 'A') and partially on experience of using it. It's not understandable without knowing of Model 'A'. You may look lists of celebrities types and watch your feelings about them in movies, shows etc to try understand intertype relations in practice (if your type is realy ENFP, but not ENTP, or something else). My list of celebritys' types is at socion2.narod.ru - but it's in russian, as almost all information about socionics (there are many books in Internet) - you may use translators (not added MBTI notations at my site, this would help - sequence of types in my list is classic for socionics: 1-ENTP, 2-ISFP, 3-ESFJ, 4-INTJ, 5-ENFJ, 6-ISTJ, 7-ESTP, 8-INFP, 9-ESFP, 10-INTP, 11-ENTJ, 12-ISFJ, 13-ESTJ, 14-INFJ, 15-ENFP, 16-ISTP). 1) Visual identification - is in main - intuitive identification and can’t be only socionics attribute (unofficialy MBTIs use it surely).

Thus, your descriptions of conflicting relationships, as well as the population breakdowns will differ based on the system on which you are basing things. I often wish people would stop assigning population breakdowns to 4-letter codes, and instead base them on a persons preferred functions. That is the true path to enlightenment.

I'm an eNtp with very strong N factor & have the gift (& curse) of dyslexia. I believe, dyslexia stems from the N factor based on my experience. What do you think?

More INTJ cause he is a vry private person by nature and prefers to come up with creative ideas on projects. Who knows though. Sting either passes as an INTJ or ISTJ.

ENFP's can have realationsips with ENFP's I like you artile, its funny and creative. But, I think your being narrow minded. The ISTP isnt that deep, good luck killing yourself trying to inspire them. Also, I believe that ENFP's just want someone to listen to all the crazy stuff that is comming out of our heads and to be able to add to what we are saying and deepen our understanding of life who would be a better partner than a therapist, THe counselor... the INFP. and the INFJ. INFP's are great. If you want to break it down into a science and your hell bent on the MBTI, theorys, and sociononics (sp?) then yes you are doomed. A lot of balanced NF's get along awsome with other balanced NF's. Dont be so negative, or else you will never find anyone! ;) Christina Aren’t you forgetting someting?

And don't kid yourself, this is a site with many hits, just check out its alexa rating. I have studied the myers-briggs over the years and have become a connoisseur. Sites full of false and misleading information such as typelogic and socionics are dangerous; not only because their visitors may have otherwise gone to sites with accurate information-such as keirsy.com- but because they can mislead people into thinking false things about their own or others personalities. This leads to an antithesis of what the myers-briggs should be about, which is accurate self knowledge and productive, healthy growth.

Glad to see that people reflect on it. Keep up the nice work And Neither Jung nor Isabel Myers-Briggs og Catheringe Briggs ever claimed that it would be able to predict anything other than our most prefered way to energize our selves, gather information about our life, make decisions and implement them. Should you ever be interested in having a character-assesment - try CPI 434 or CPI260 Goog validated and reliable test.
