#NeTiFeSi

[corazonconagujeritos]

I know this is super silly, but it's interesting how Lisbon is an ISTJ (SiTeFiNe) since Jane is an ENTP (NeTiFeSi), his dominant function is her lower one, and vice versa, so they clash a lot but have this sort of understanding of each other. Her strengths are his weaknesses and all.

It is said, that as someone grows older and matures, the more they develop and lean on their lower functions, and you can easily see that in the last season, where Lisbon is more authentic and genuine than ever, and starts persuing what she trully wants and feels (Fi) and being more open to possibilities and little adventures and any new thing Jane proposes (Ne).

So, to anyone who thinks Lisbon is ooc in the last season, this might be why.

An ENTP would find someone that intellectually challenges them and then start behaving as if you just tickled their private parts. 

. . . the brain is a private part 

[entpstruggles]

We should all do a group chat for ENTPs or something

[entpchronicles]

netifesi replied to your chat: ENTP Chronicles #2

I did the same thing with japanese! (it was a one year course at college.. i mastered the grammar system but had to look up all words in a dictionary :D)

I know right! I also know a little bit of Japanese, like I can hold basic conversations in like.. 8 languages, maybe? But only master two. (My motherlanguage that is spanish, and english that I have been studying all my life) although right now I’m studying Chinese but at a Chinese institute, having an external institution helps me a lot to keep me interested and organized, otherwise I would have dropped it after a day lmao

MBTI CHEAT SHEET #1

first things first:

mbti is NOT about behaviour but about the way we proceed information. therefore our behaviour can help or show signs on what our mbti type is, however it’s not the main indicator.

1. THE LETTERS

I vs. E [introversion vs. extroversion]

N vs. S [Intuition vs. sensation]

T vs. F [thinking vs. feeling]

J vs. P [judging vs. perceiving]

2. COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS��

we have 8 functions:

N, S, T and F, each one-time introverted and one-time extroverted.

Ne/Ni [introverted intuition/ extroverted intuition]

Se/Si [introverted sensing/ extroverted sensing]

Te/Ti [introverted thinking/ extroverted thinking]

Fe/Fi [introverted feeling/ extroverted feeling]

Te/Ti and Fe/Fi are both judging functions where both Se/Si and Ne/Ni are perceiving functions.

each extroverted function proceeds information faster than its introverted contra-part.

MOST INTROVERTED TO MOST EXTROVERTED:

Ni

Ti

Fi

Si

Ne

Te

Fe

Se

⚠️THE MOST COMMON FUNCTION IS SI, AND THE MOST RARE ONE IS NI⚠️

3. GROUPS

SJ: guardians (high Si)

SP: artisans (high Se)

NF: idealists (high intuition and feeling)

NT: rationalists (high intuition and thinking)

4. SHORTCUTS

on perceiving functions:

SJ: high Si (most common)

SP: high Se

NP: high Ne

NJ: high Ni (most uncommon)

and on judging functions:

FJ: high Fe

FP: high Fi

TJ: high Te

TP: high Ti

ExxJ: dom-Fe or dom-Te —> social leader/ generally strongly socially aware

ExxP: dom-Se or dom-Ne -> always looking for adventure and new experience/ value freedom over everthing

IxxP: dom-Fi or dom-Ti -> rebels in secret/ strongly value freedom and very protective of identity/ “i” talking

IxxJ: dom-Si or dom-Ni -> inflexible/ organised/ can be control freaks

5. THE TYPES

THE MOST COMMON TO THE MOST UNCOMMON:

ISFJ: SiFeTiNe (the protector)

ESFJ: FeSiNeTi (the caregiver)

ISTJ: TeSiFiNe (the inspector)

ISFP: FiSeNiTe (the artist)

ESTJ: TeSiNeFi (the director)

ESFP: SeFiTeNi (the performer)

ENFP: NeFiTeSi (the champion)

ISTP: TiSeNiFe (the crafter)

INFP: FiNeSiTe (the mediator)

ESTP: SeTiFeNi (the persuader)

INTP: TiNeSiFe (the logician)

ENTP: NeTiFeSi (the debater)

ENFJ: FeNiSeTi (the giver)

[sokkagatekeeper]

what is mai and sokka's mbti?

mai is an intj!

sokka — ENTP (NeTiFeSi)

sokka’s creativity, innovation, and love for science all come from his extroverted intuition. he never waits and observes, like a Ni dominant/auxiliary (entj; sokka is NOT an entj) would do. instead he puts himself out there for observation. sokka also never just accepts a solution alone for its tangible results without considering the logic behind the solution; he’s interested in the ‘why’ and ‘how’ of the way things work, and from there he can get his own results. even unconsciously, his plans are more about seeing what would happen if x, even if getting results is also important to him bc his auxiliary thinking function. he prefers to focus on the situations and patterns in the moment and add on to that one in particular rather than reusing plans he already knows worked in the past in similar situations (like an estj; sokka is also NOT an estj).

he also expresses himself in a very extroverted, open, quick manner. he has a very charming wit and his ideas and movements are often pretty scattered. his body language + the way he speaks matches an entp almost to a T.

even though sokka is very versatile intellectually speaking, there is a very specific structure that is ingrained in his mind, and when he learns new information he doesn’t actually change his perspective, but he adds it on to what he already believes. this is why he’s able to be a skeptic while travelling with the avatar, meeting spirits left and right, calling waterbending “magic”. to sokka, these are all elements that exist, that cannot be explained right now by science, but that they can be, and they must be.

while sokka does have a sense of moral justice, he’s a lot more practical when it comes to it. katara is ruled by her Fi, aka her internal moral compass, and when she passes through a poor and hungry village that she can help (the painted lady), even though it’s an objectively minor thing to focus on and an irrational decision to make, she helps anyway. sokka does not follow an internal moral compass of his; he follows his head, and his logic. he understands they can only aid temporarily as of right now, and so helping the village wouldn’t be worth the time they would be sacrificing in order to do it since they have other bigger things to attend to (namely his SCHEDULE).

i was surprised to find sokka is not actually a very unhealthy Fe. an unhealthy extroverted feeler looks a bit more like azula, who is able to tell the needs and feelings of other people and use and manipulate them to her own benefit, but who also wants to be liked desperately. while sokka can read other people’s needs and feelings as well, he doesn’t just manipulate them to fit his agenda (though sometimes i wish he would, and sometimes he does?? but it’s more of a skill than an instinct. it’s complicated), and instead he tries to find a way to incorporate those needs into his plans. he does desperately want to be liked, too, but it’s more of a punishment on himself than others, unlike azula’s. i wouldn’t say he’s a perfectly healthy Fe because he’s still a little bit of a people-pleaser sometimes (in like. a weird way. in a way none of you actually understand.) but he’s getting there.

sokka’s Fe also gives him something to focus all of his thinking and intuition on. sokka has an urge to take care of people, whether that is his overpowered little sister, the 12-year-old avatar, his overpowered 12-year-old little sister, or anyone he likes as a person really, OR the entire world. when he refuses to waste time aiding the village in the painted lady, his Ti is able to tell him where that suffering is coming from—the fire nation’s messed up regime—and is able to make the connection that if they focus on overthrowing this regime that is hurting the village, the village will be saved eventually, and along with a bunch of other villages at that. but he does want to help. he is helping, actively, all the time.

we don’t actually see a lot of sokka’s introverted sensing but my guess is that his Si manifests as he often forgets about the smaller details in big, well-thought out plans (the boiling rock) but under external pressure (the day of black sun) he gets really picky and neurotic about everything going well. (tho the boiling rock wasn’t exactly his prime moment either and the inferior function is suppsed to come out intensely when in not-exactly-prime moments, with almost no operation in regular circumstances. so ???).

it also comes in waves, like how actually long it took him to go ‘hey, so maybe we should plan the scenario for aang to actually have an opportunity to get all this defeat-the-firelord business going’ and it had to be sokka’s inferior Si because katara’s tertiary Si was busy being nostalgic. other than that sokka’s Si doesn’t seem to be particularly underdeveloped or unhealthy, since he has no issue following plans through. who knows!!

[funkymbtifiction]

Hey!! I hope you're well! After a long time of considering it, I'm still wondering what my mom's type would be -- I think she's an extrovert with a social instinct somewhere and probably a 6 core but I'm still not sure. I am an ESFJ and when I want to talk things out to resolve conflicts she doesn't like that approach too much. She can sometimes say, "I don't want to talk about feelings or dynamics anymore," which I just don't get at all. She is very focused on safety but maybe that's just because she has children. She struggles a lot with details and minute tasks but values tradition and is into family trees. She's great at analyzing things and often questions motivations that I would immediately believe to be positive. She's EXTREMELY witty with an ability to jump from idea to idea, one that I wish I possessed. I jump to lower Ne conclusions with my tertiary Ne, and she doesn't do that at all...

Sounds like an ENTP. Strong rationality, ability to process things quickly, semi-decent with others' feelings but shows little interest in discussing them or delving deep into them (lower Fe) and struggles with details fit NeTiFeSi.

[chuuy-a]

the way chuuya is an estp and you are an entp kills me 😭 like estp’s dom function is se and entp doesn’t even have se in their first 4, its si in inf function but they somehow are similar and get along 😭😭

(thats the answer to the question ‘why are soukoku so chaotic’ their dom functions are literally ne and se 😭😭)

don’t mind me screaming about mbti here omg im sorry

dude i literally don't how how me, an entp, ended up kinning chuuya like. what. he is an estp,,,, i- its SeTiFeNi for estps and NeTiFeSi for entps i literally went: ✨gay uno reverse time✨

[weirdmageddon]

hey idk if you know this but the myers briggs / mbti was created by white supremacists isabel briggs myers and katharine cook briggs

oh yeah i do, thats why i call them cognitive types. i put emphasis on carl jung’s cognitive functions instead of myers’ stupid fucking four letter dichotomy bullshit. because “mbti types” brings up the image of pop psychology pseudoscience because it uses the 4-letter system made by a racist (no thanks to 16personalities normalizing dumbassery by testing for the big five instead of the cognitive functions and disgusing it as mbti)

like i still use the four letters but its shorthand code.... it’s socially efficient but it doesnt mean its really correct. like more people will know what you mean by “INFP” as opposed to “FiNeSiTe” but it should be interpreted as FiNeSiTe, not just by the four letters I N F and P.

isabel briggs myers sucks ass and her 4-letter system sucks ass im using her letters not because i want to but only because i have no choice if i want to interact with anyone who doesnt know the cognitive functions

what im basically saying half of the tumblr sexymen use NeTiFeSi (and i communicate this as ENTP to those who dont know the functions)

[cowtale-utau]

Sans/Ace INTJ vs ENTP

Welp this is not the full breakdown I’m working on but. This is contributing to that? I was asked about my type choice (which I super don’t mind! I love a good debate) and this will help in breaking down that part of the full work up. It’s super friggin long. I’d apologize, but I wouldn’t really mean it. Anyway, here we go.

First lets look at the functional stacks

INTJ / NiFeTiSe (NiTe) vs ENTP / NeTiFeSi (NeTi)

Ni – Internal intuition vs Ne – Extroverted intuition

Sans is suspiciously intuitive. There was no argument that Intuitive was going to be part of his typing. How the intuition functions and is used is where we have some point of potential debate. This comes down in many ways to how Jung viewed extroversion vs introversion. Extroverts are characterized as expansive and expressive, with short attention spans and rapidly shifting focus. They also tend to have relationships characterized by breath as opposed to depth. That is, many, more “shallow” relationships, rather than fewer, “deeper” connections. Conversely introverts are more focused and narrow, spending more time and energy on fewer things they give more value. Ne tends to have a wider range of hobbies and skills, while never focusing enough to master any, while Ni tends to develop mastery in fewer, selected areas. Ne also tends to want to bounce topics and visit many areas of conversation, while Ni wants to focus in on a singular topic to explore as deeply as possible. Ne wants to have many options while Ni wants to zero in on one singular answer.

Honestly, you can see traces of both Ne and Ni in Sans personality. He has a broad range of skills, and a pretty large number of arguably shallow “friendships”. He also keeps a very small number of deeper, more developed relationships, and there is evidence of him having a few areas he has a much deeper knowledge of.

Getting into the real differences is easier when you pair Ni/Ne with their respective sidekicks. Thus we have NiSe and NeSi. If we go by type theory Ni uses information Se has subconsciously gathered to find patterns and themes in their environment. They cast a wide sensory net to take clues from all possible inputs, visual, auditory, etc. They then use this data to compile a narrow underlying pattern. Conversely NeSi, draws on repeated snapshots of experiences to compile an established pattern to put forth a range of possible “what ifs”.

A simplification of what separates Ni from Ne can be put as such; Ni  is insight, Ne is ingenuity. Both E and I express intuition in their focus on the metaphysical and theoretical. NJ's can be seen as less creative while NP's are less able to come up with convergent ideas. ENPs see several potentials in everything, they struggle to trace back to a single causality. ENPs often take a “spray and pray” method, and are surprised should they hit upon the correct answer. They won't likely trust this as the true answer until they've tested and exhausted all possibilities.

INTJ and ENTP functions are perfect flips of one another and are often mis-typed. 

INTJ: Dominant: Introverted Intuition Auxilliary: Extraverted Thinking Tertiary: Introverted Feeling Inferior: Extraverted Sensing ENTP: Dominant: Extraverted Intuition Auxiliary: Introverted Thinking Tertiary: Extraverted Feeling Inferior: Introverted Sensing

Personally I'm inclined to lean towards Ni for Sans, but both are viable options. In fact both are so viable, that this breakdown wasn't particularly helpful. But it was interesting, and fun so I'm not mad I did it. So lets try this from a different angle. This time I'm going to ignore “stacks” and look at the purely E vs I, T vs P, etc break downs, and include my personal opinions on them, and how I got to the choice I did for Sans.

Introversion vs Extroversion

E – Energy is outward, towards people and things. Gains energy by being with people, batteries drain when alone. Need stimulation and are expressive. Like variety, action, and achievement. Communicate openly without censure. Allow conversation without conclusion. Take words at face value.

I – Energy focused inwards, towards ideas and concepts. Recharge with “me time”, drained by crowds and company. Tend to be reserved, and can seem subtle or “impenetrable”. Think before they act, often taking time to make a decision.

When I first typed Sans I had to ask, is he an introvert, or just depressed. I think it cannot be argued whether or not Sans suffers from depression. The indicators are there. It is a widely accepted view. However, I do not believe this excludes him from being an introvert. I see Sans as a social introvert. He likes people in general, enjoys crowds, from a comfortable distance. He keeps most relationships at arms length, and needs time alone to recoup. Sans is a very guarded and reserved individual, who can play at being an open book. He deflects with jokes and entertainment, but how many can say they are genuinely close to Sans. Even Papyrus is kept at a certain distance despite Sans clear love for his brother. I think Sans is kinda the poster child for the misconception that introverts are isolationists that hate people. They (cough we cough) aren't. They just need time to themselves to reorient, and re-energize. And that doesn't necessarily mean complete isolation either. This can often be achieved in the company of those held especially dear, or by simply withdrawing, even around company. This can be seen in Sans choosing to be at Grillby's but choosing a somewhat ��closed” location. Yes he's towards the center of the room, but he's at the corner of the bar. He directly faces only Grillby. Or a common fanon example, Sans shutting down and allowing himself to be lugged around by Papyrus. He stays physically present, and is likely taking in the going ons, but has disengaged on a personal/social level.

Intuiting vs Sensing

S – Focus on immediate thought and sensory input. Trust conscious, limiting to facts and solid data. Pay attention to immediate, material, practical and “real”.  Work on a clear schedule and use logic to work in a direct sequence. Practical, realistic, grounded, direct.

N – Process data on a deep, subconscious level, trusting “gut feelings”. Spot patterns and take broad high level “big picture” views. Enjoy ideas and theories, are willing to work with factual evidence on a “instinct”. Change and adapt plans as information changes.

While I suppose an argument could be made for either I'm inclined to pin Sans as an N. Especially if one dismisses the “Sans remembers resets” theory. One cannot deny he uses facial cues and behaviors to make “gut” predictions about the player character/Frisk. Sans does not strike me as one to stick to any schedule not externally enforced by others (Papyrus). He doesn't need solid proof to make an accurate assessment, and trusts his own instincts. Somewhat unrelated to current discussion but one could argue a case for Sans having some almost... Arrogance in this regard. He is so confident in his assessment that he calls you on it, despite having no solid, in hand, proof of any of his accusations. This is a man who trusts his own mind.

Thinking vs Feeling

T – Thing logically and with reason. Desire fairness and objectivity. Black/White mentality. Seek truth and clear use of the rules. Sometimes forget or dismiss the “person” variable. Prefer truth over tact. Analyze pros and cons, and when a decision is made, consider it done.

F – Make decisions based on the feelings and considerations of others. The 'person' element is the first and primary considered. Value harmony, and try to be tactful even at the cost of some truth. Some times overlook the “hard” facts and can come off idealistic.

Here's another area where both typings agree. Sans is very much to me a T. Despite his apparent “easy to get along with” nature he can clearly lack tact (as seen in his 'you'd be dead where you stand' line). It's clear he is capable of dismissing the “people” component as seen in a neutral run. Even if you are to kill his brother there is little reaction beyond a few (or single, I'm slightly tipsy and my memory sucks) lines about his upset. This could theoretically be blamed on the nihilism/depression we see present, but could also be tied into his objective way of thinking (and if one considers that he's at least distantly aware that the outcome isn't permanent than this way further leans into T type. He knows it isn't the end, and so can accept that even if his brother is dead now, he won't be later, allowing him to remove emotion from the equation). If his magic coloring is tied into the presented soul traits the desire for fairness and objectivity is clearly seen in his secondary (?) Justice trait. I also believe Sans very much has a Black/White view of morality/the world. You can see this in the neutral run. While he may not attack you in anything less than No Mercy/Genocide, he definitely calls you out. Even just reaching LV of 2 is enough for Sans to express disgust in both you and your actions. This suggests he has absolutely no leniency in his views.

Judging vs Perceiving

J – Decisive and controlled. Are rigid and take charge of their environments, making choices early. Specific in what they ask, and expect others to do as told. Seek order and closure. Like to have time for preparation. Enjoy being experts.

P – Feel limited by structure. Feel more in control when options are left open. Thrive with the unexpected and are open to change. Tend to be loose and casual. Work in bursts. Are tolerant of people differences and will adapt to fit a situation.

And here's the other where the two potential types vary. And I can see a case for either. Its when all the parts are taken in together that I lean towards J over P. (although if we went with the percentages system I could see him as being fairly close, and sometimes slipping one way or the other over the line. I've know a couple of people personally who do so every now and then. A close friend of mine regularly tests at 51/49 in their J/P alternating between INFJ and INFP) I think when balancing Sans' N and T it comes together more comfortably in J. His rigid morality suggests a lack of tolerance and adaptability. Once he starts something, he sees it through to completion. His desire for the cycle of resets to be stopped can be seen as a need for closure, but I think we can dismiss it as extenuating circumstances. Anyone would want it to stop after a fashion, even if they are only distantly aware of the occurrence.  I think Sans straddles the J/P line leaning slightly more into J. He needs order and routine, but is stiffed by too rigid of a structure. I think for me this ultimately came down to me viewing Sans (or perhaps Ace in this case) as an ultimately science leaning mind. He needs answers. He needs clear, clean answers, and not getting them is distressing. While he may like to keep his options open in some areas of his life, overall he prefers to know what he's getting into, and how he's going to handle it. He's a free personality, that dislikes an unpredictable world. He wants to know where the end is, and have several methods of getting there. Not knowing the answers is scary, and Sans/Ace hates being scared.

So there's that. I don't know if any of it made any sense, but there you have it. How I typed Sans and why. Bare in mind, that this is also a half fanon typing. This is at least in part, based on occurrences after the events of canon Undertale, and how Sans/Ace behaved then. (you’ll see more of that in his full workup) As well as being based on some headcanons, though I tried to be fairly sparing with them. I also find myself frustrated as to the lack of information on Sans behavior/personality prior to the events of the game. What was Sans like, before the resets, before the depression. I would love to see what Sans had been like when he was younger. Alas, this is unlikely to ever happen. But anywho, this got way long, and if you manage to actually get through the whole thing I would love to hear your opinions. How do you type Sans, and why? Is there some glaring in game clue I missed? I'm totally open to friendly discussion on the topic, if you want. I included a couple links that give a pretty good rundown of the different functions and how they come together.

Why is Krillin an ENTP? Could you please provide examples of his quick intuitive readings, expanding on possibilities (Ne) as his go to? Where is the Si-blindspot? Your description of his inferior Si is not strong enough to convince me. Would you say kid Krillin relied more on his Ne-Ti and then gradually used Fe more healthily when he was older? I need more concrete examples and situation where he has demonstrated NeTiFeSi. Sorry if I sound overly-nitpicky. Also can you please type Roshi?

Well, it has been a while since I watched DBZ - I watched it from Dragon Ball’s beginning and I just left off at the Buu Saga - but I’ll try my  best. My reasoning for Krillin as ENTP is mostly based on 1. The way he approaches fights (creative ideas and multiple paths based on observation), and 2. the way he approaches relationships, with a very open-ended attitude towards all possibilities. A few concrete examples: Observing and playing on Roshi’s weakness to panties/sex to distract him during their fight (an unconventional idea-driven route to winning), or coming to the conclusion that he could never make Maron happy without money or glamour based on the idea getting into his head of finding the pearl. He decides this based on logical, emperical evidence rather than simply asking Maron what she thinks or connecting with her emotionally, and breaks things off - but immediately realizes it was a mistake (though it’s too late then). Of course, some of these conclusions are based on the Dub, so maybe I’m getting it wrong. As for Roshi, I’m reluctant to type him since as a girl, I’m kinda uncomfortable rewatching his scenes. They also tend to be the same joke a lot, so it’s hard to get a reading on him that isn’t kinda reductive. Thanks for the ask, I always appreciate it.

The ENTP Depth of Extroversion

The Debater - The Visionary - The Originator - The Inventor

ENTPs have more depth to them than just being verbally quick and cerebrally stimulating. As with other personalities, there is “more than meets the eye”.  ENTPs are structurally designed like labyrinths. 

ENTPs aren’t instantly deceiving and deception isn’t necessarily the word I would associate with the personality type as a whole. It is widely recognized however that ENTPs know how and when to socialize. Their appearance in the external world is defined by circumstances and internal stand-point. Their preference of socializing is best expressed through intellectual discussion and arbitrary debate. By instinct, this personality type appears to have all the pages accessible and open, yet the words inscripted onto them aren’t easily read. 

Overview 

An ENTP engages with their environment with the intention of gathering (primarily knowledge) of the world; this could be people, things, theories, experiences, etc. (anything that extends beyond their version of “self”). 

By contrast from the INFJ and INTP enigma, the ENTP is a type of puzzle that is complex even to themselves. They are universally paradoxical. While they appear open on a surface-level, feelings to them aren’t simple nor are they understood as easily. 

The ENTP grapples with emotions by organizing them into logical boxes. The way an ENTP understands their feelings is by beating them into categorized cells. This rational approach makes them appear almost “mechanical”. Paired with their vibrant optimism however, they are able to express a more careful and gentle side. This circulates back into their hyper-awareness of the atmosphere in social settings. 

This process is performed so smoothly, an average onlooker wouldn’t recognize how deep the ENTP is performing underneath. 

Socializing for an ENTP is also seen as a performance art. It’s draining to a degree but not in the way of how an introvert would describe it. For an ENTP, the world is a variety of things, but it isn’t their home-base. The construction of reality for them is among the likes of being a playground, a soundboard, a canvas, etc.

Once the ENTP has gathered enough data from the external existence of things, they recede into their mind and become introspective. This form of introverted thinking can happen either in various forms of solitude or happen as the information is being taken in. 

Detachment from Conditions

By dissociating the “self” from the “world”, an ENTP has the ability to maintain and control their mental state of being. ENTPS are peculiarly balanced between cynicism and optimism. They aren’t easily controlled or persuaded by the emotions of people. It’s not because they are naturally optimistic, but it is because they make it a conscious choice to be as such. It is in their nature to be critical of life “as-is”. Therefore, they use the balance of optimism to prevent the woes of the world to push them in a downward spiral. Meanwhile, when found in a series of emotional whirl. . . it is often felt through to avoid the bottling.

[mbti-vibes-blog]

Was wondering your thoughts on an ENTP/INFJ relationship?

sure!

ENTP/INFJ

NeTiFeSi / NiFeTiSe

PROS

- The Ne/Ni contrast of the two will make for a good contrast, with the Ne of        the ENTP helping the INFJ to stay open and more relaxed, while the Ni of the    INFJ keeps the ENTP more focused and centered.

- The Fe/Ti of the ENTP and INFJ is in the opposite positions in both types.         The auxilary thinking aspect of the ENTP will help the INFJ to think more           logically, while the auxilary feeling of the INFJ will help the ENTP to take             other’s feelings into consideration.

- Because both types have Fe, they’re likely to settle their conflicts peacefully      and give their partner the benefit of the doubt. Because they also share Ti,        they’re prone to need to get to the point. This means that their conflicts will        likely be few. 

- Because their sensing is their last function, it’s unlikely to affect their                  relationship, but ENTP is Si and INFJ is Se. Si is likely to prefer routine, while    Se likes new experiences. The two will be a good balance for each other. 

CONS

- Because Ne is more open and Ni is more focused, the ENTP may accuse the     INFJ of being too structured. At the same time, the INFJ may say that the         ENTP is too disorganized.  

- Because the ENTP is a thinking type, they might not understand the INFJ’s      tendencies to make decisions based on their emotions. At they same time,        the INFJ may accuse the ENTP of being too closed off.

- The downside of both being Fe-users is that they may tend to bottle things         up. This can lead to hurt feelings and outbursts seemingly without reason.

- Because Si likes routine, and Se likes new experiences, the ENTP may be        uncomfortable with a change in schedule, and the INFJ may become bored      with the ENTP’s routine.

I think this relationship has the potential to be very strong, and I would give it an 8/10. I think that this is one of the best relationships an ENTP can enter, and if it’s one you’re considering pursuing, good luck and have fun!
