Heyy what would you say are the best romantic matches for an INFP 9w1 (926) in your opinion?

It definitely depends on the person because every INFP is different, but sure I can offer some opinions on it lol. (I’m not as well versed in Ennegram as I am in MBTI though so I’ll mainly focus on the INFP part, just a disclaimer. Although most enneagram tests I’ve taken say I’m most likely a 9w1 as well so 🤷‍♀️)

Anyways, in my opinion what INFPs need most in a partner is a lot of understanding and a lot of grounding.

Our feelings and internal world and ideas run very deep within us, and we need someone who gets that and is okay with us having some things we can’t always explain, or things that will always be wildly important to us that we can’t compromise.

We also need someone who can be a voice of reason and a “rock” persay for us to depend on. That’s not always necessarily what we want, since many of us don’t want to be tied down or told we’re dreaming too big, but we do need it. Especially in times where life gets overwhelming or we’re struggling with personal problems. We need someone who can get us out of our heads and help us reach our goals realistically. We need someone who makes us the best version of ourselves and encourages us every step of the way.

Now here’s the thing, many types can achieve this and compliment the INFP in this way. There’s not really a definite answer to this question. But there’s definitely types who lean more towards these traits than others.

One example I can think of off the top of my head is my parents. My mom is a fellow INFP and my dad is an ISTP. They have a very healthy marriage with great communication and they balance each other out very well. My dad is very understanding of the fact that sometimes my mom just needs to feel things, and whenever she has wild creative ideas he’s good at helping her think through them realistically. I think ISTPs can be a good match for INFPs because they also tend to be reserved and fairly laid back, but they look and interpret the world very differently and help INFPs gain a new perspective.

There’s another couple I know where one is an INFP and one is an INTJ, and they also work together very well. As they’re both intuitives they enjoy exploring the big picture and intricate concepts together, they both have a common interest in history and the arts and enjoy traveling together and exploring the world. But they also differ in many ways that compliment each other. The INTJ has a much more analytical perspective on the world and likes to learn more about how things work than the INFP, which helps them to problem solve together.

Those are only a couple possibilities, but obviously there’s many more and also many factors that can come into play. An INFP who’s developed their tertiary and inferior function (Si/Te) and is pretty good at grounding themselves might want a partner who is more spontaneous and outgoing, whereas an INFP who’s a bit more on the erratic side might need a partner who’s more serious. For example I’ve dated an ESFP and an ENTP respectively, and neither of them ended up working out mainly because our personalities just didn’t mesh well under the circumstances, I was dealing with a lot of mental health problems during both relationships and having a more spontaneous and outgoing partner only raised my anxiety. That doesn’t mean a relationship with those types couldn’t work, it just means there was other factors at play that didn’t work in our favor.

I know all of that may not have answered your question directly, I just think that relationships are very complicated and there’s not really a single or few types that are perfect for an INFP. I hope I could help at least a little though!

If you’re asking what types I, an INFP, am most attracted to however, that’s a different story 😂

I know the whole point of being an introvert is the need to recharge, but like,, I wish I could recharge faster

Hi the cutest couples I know irl is esfp x enfj, and infp x esfp 🤩 I think it’s because enfj and infp are two very ”human loving” types that are intuitives but also pretty ”grounded” (like the esfp also is), and it’s cute together with the esfp who is just very ”raw”. Because both enfj & infp intuitive about human things, and the esfp is so genuin, also they both are very accepting. That kind of makes them similar but also they’re different.

I can definitely see that!

Totally agree with you on the INFPs and ENFJs having similar deep loving types, despite them not actually sharing any functions, just some letters. I think it’s probably because even though they have different things going on in their brains, a lot of times it comes out and is executed in similar ways.

I have a bit of experience with INFP and ESFP, I’m INFP and one of my exes was an ESFP and even though it didn’t end up working out, our personalities definitely complimented each other in many ways. I think in general those types can get on pretty well in both friendships and relationships.

hello! sorry if this is bothersome, but i was wondering if you could help me distinguish between infp and isfp?

i’ve thought i was an infp for years now, using cognitive functions even. im definitely no expert, just kinda vaguely know what each one is, but i went through it using several sources i and was like “oh yeah oh yeah this is it” but i dont think it’s It anymore ??

i got diagnosed with adhd in december and ive been taking medication, so it’s been a lot easier to be able to distinguish what’s actually my personality and what kind of just comes from adhd. i think that i might actually be isfp. i think i related a lot to high Ne because with adhd youre always bouncing around restless wanting to do all the things, and youre brain’s always on rapid fire mode. but since ive been on meds ive been less like that and more grounded (i still do drift off a lot ofc cause that’s just how it is). and ive been able to realize that i dont actually get caught up in my thoughts a lot,,,,like i dont uhhhh care very much,,,i am not concerned with the future very much? i think im very in the present, and i kind of just do whatever is in front of me. whatever im in the mood for. sensory stuff. i love piano, ukulele, video games, drawing, etc. doing stuff with my hands. im also a dancer; it’s very fulfilling to be able to engage in something so physically stimulating and be creating art at the same time.

anyways this is so long but im very very leaning towards isfp. it’s crazy cause i used to think i was so head in the clouds but actually??? i love to be grounded?? i love to feel and see and observe things instead of be imagining and thinking about abstract stuff?? im very in the present and i Do Not think about future stuff at all? i really dont think about the big picture at all?????

i know you dont know me so you cant really tell me what my type is, but any input or other differences between infp and isfp would be so helpful!! i also just dont really trust myself and im seeking validation or correction lmao. thanks so much for reading this i appreciate you a lot

Hey!! You're not bothersome at all, I love getting asks and talking to people about their types so thank you so much for sending this!

Obviously I don't know you personally so I'm not going to claim I'm 100% sure of what you are, but right of the bat I can tell you that based on your explanation you definitely sound more like an ISFP rather than an INFP.

(I'm gonna put the rest of my thoughts and stuff under a read more cuz my response is long too lol)

First of all the fact that you mentioned being diagnosed with ADHD is actually really helpful because over the years learning about psychology (I'm majoring in it in college) and the MBTI Personality Theory I've definitely noticed that neurodivergency/mental disorders/mental illnesses play a huge role in how people interpret their type. It's really hard sometimes to tell the difference between whether a trait is your actual personality or something else going on in your brain. This is one reason why a lot of extroverts mistype themselves as introverts because they have social anxiety disorder, a lot of sensors mistype themselves as intuitives because they have ADHD(like your situation), a lot of thinkers mistype themselves as feelers because they have depression, etc.

Alright so now let's get into the major differences between ISFP and INFP.

Assuming you're pretty sure that you're at least IxFP, I won't get into the specifics of every single letter and function here, I'll just discuss the differences between having Se or Ne as your second function in the stack. (Fi-Se-Ni-Te vs Fi-Ne-Si-Te)

Compared to INFPs, ISFPs are much more grounded. Of course they still can drift off and daydream, but they tend to focus on the present more than the future and focus the majority of their stimulation on their physical environment rather than focusing the majority on their inner world.

This seems to match up with what you said: "i am not concerned with the future very much? i think im very in the present, and i kind of just do whatever is in front of me. whatever im in the mood for. sensory stuff. i love piano, ukulele, video games, drawing, etc. doing stuff with my hands. im also a dancer; it’s very fulfilling to be able to engage in something so physically stimulating and be creating art at the same time."

ISFPs also tend to be more practical overall. They can definitely see value in abstract ideas, but they don't spend hours thinking about the big picture and wild concepts like intuitives do. ISFPs may not care as much about the meaning behind something, they care more about how it makes them feel or affects the world around them. They're much more based in reality compared to INFPs, and because of this they also tend to be a little more easygoing and willing to try new things. They like to explore and observe and need outside stimulation a bit more than their intuitive counterparts, and because ISFPs are introverts, this stimulation tends to come from creative and sensory activities such as music, arts, games, etc. (In comparison to ESFPs, who might also need social stimulation in addition to these activities)

This makes sense with what you said: "i love to feel and see and observe things instead of be imagining and thinking about abstract stuff?? im very in the present and i Do Not think about future stuff at all? i really dont think about the big picture at all?????"

Some other differences between the two:

Both ISFPs and INFPs have strong moral compasses from their dominant Fi, but ISFPs may be the less strict of the two, or they may be able to change their opinions on something a little bit faster. This is because INFPs have a major tendency to overthink everything, so when new information comes in they basically have to reevaluate a lot of things. ISFPs on the other hand don't necessarily have to think through every little action that they do, if something feels wrong or they learn that something they do is wrong it's a much quicker turnaround since they don't get caught up in their head as much.

ISFPs aren't as idealistic as INFPs. Sure they have wants and dreams for themselves and the world, but they have much more realistic expectations overall.

ISFPs display their passions and feelings through actions primarily. They focus on displaying and expressing things (show not tell perse). INFPs display their passions and feelings through words and meaning primarily. They like thoroughly discussing or thinking through the why, figuring out patterns and connections.

So with all that in mind and your own thoughts about yourself and your type, I'd say you're an ISFP. Feel free to ask more questions if you have any or if I missed something! Thank you so so much for the ask and I hope you have a wonderful day!

INFP: I’m having at LEAST a level 5 mental breakdown.

ISTJ: how many levels are there? What classifies as each level? Have you had this level before? Have you had worse? What-

[mbti-galaxies]

ISTJ: sorry I’m not doing that thing, it’s just my personality okay I’m not doing it

ENFP: but I’ve known ISTJs who do this thing

ISTJ: yeah well I’m an ISTJ with five mental illnesses so

[mbti-galaxies]

What actually makes two types compatible?

I’ve come across multiple arguments and proposals over the years about what makes types the most compatible whether it be romantically or platonically or whatever.

The two main ones I’ve seen are

Opposites Attract:

Opposite letters equal the same functions just in a different order, so the two types would compliment each other by having opposite strengths and weaknesses.

Examples:

ESTP/INFJ = Se-Ti-Fe-Ni/Ni-Fe-Ti-Se

INTP/ESFJ = Ti-Ne-Si-Fe/Fe-Si-Ne-Ti

And Opposite Functions Attract:

Where the functions are in the same order except they’re the opposite extroversion/introversion, so the functions have the same root but they are expressed very differently.

Examples:

ENFJ/INFP = Fe-Ni-Se-Ti/Fi-Ne-Si-Te

ISTJ/ESTP = Si-Te-Fi-Ne/Se-Ti-Fe-Ni

Personally I believe any types can work together, it just depends on the people and how much work they’re willing to put in the relationship, but I’m sure there’s definitely some evidence and a basis for what types tend to gravitate towards each other.

Also there’s definitely more theories besides just these two, these are just the ones I’ve seen the most!

Curious to know your thoughts!

[mbti-galaxies]
