6 Reasons Why ENFP and INFJ Fall In Love.
Why do ENFPs like INFJs?
According to David Keirsey, author of “Please Understand Me”, Rationals and Idealists
get along well due to their shared preference for intuition.
By Keirsey’s estimation, fellow intuitives get along because there is better understanding
and communication between them.
As idealists, the INFJ and ENFP are on the same wavelength in terms of their mutual fondness
for new possibilities and quest for fulfillment.
They share many similarities but also a number of distinct differences.
These contrasting qualities help draw INFJ and ENFP together and make them alluring in
each other’s eyes.
These two types have a good chance at hitting it off and can potentially form a relationship
that is long lasting and satisfying.
Here are 6 reasons why ENFP and INFJ are good for each other.

INFJs Are Great Listeners.
INFJs are attentive and they love the way the ENFP mind works.

to say.

INFJ partner with surprisingly deep and poignant observations about life.
INFJs tend to be more quietly observant, internalizing their perceptions rather than verbalizing
them the way ENFPs do.

they appreciate that ENFPs are able to express themselves so openly and without reservation..

INFJ people can often feel a sense of loneliness.
Not for lack of friendships and social interaction but because they feel “out of place” and
not truly understood by the people around them.
Although INFJs are warm and friendly with almost everyone, there is a significant portion
of themselves that is withheld and they desperately hold out for the special person with whom
they can share it with.
At the same time, INFJ’s intuitive insight into people make it relatively easy for them
to understand others and they tend to see the best in the people they love (faults and
all).
INFJ likely appreciates the interest and effort ENFP shows in trying to understand and decode
the INFJ enigma.
ENFPs have the ability and willingness to ‘read’ and comprehend the INFJ like few
can and this makes INFJs feel more comfortable and in sync as a couple.
ENFP also values the sense of unconditional love, support and acceptance they receive
from INFJ.

As idealist types, both the INFJ and ENFP are predisposed to harboring an inner world
that has a life of it’s own.

life they’d like to live or the future they’d like to create.
They are both hopeless romantics with a tendency to idealize and idolize the people they become
enamored with.

each other a possible soulmate with whom they can indulge and live out some of their most
passionate fantasies.

taken for granted.

form of advice and constructive criticism.
ENFPs on the other hand have a light-hearted and laid back perspective.

normally not consider.

INFJs and ENFPs Are Both Ambiverted.
While INFJs are predominantly introverted and ENFPs extraverted, both personality types
are somewhat fluid in their attitude preference and they straddle the line between their inner
and outer worlds.
When ENFPs are in a pensive and contemplative mood they can appear subdued and introverted
and when an INFJ is in a position where they must deal with people, they can appear very
natural and sociable like an extravert.

themselves to the people around them.

to withdraw for a bit.

for being very friendly with a lot of people and attracting too much attention from admirers.
INFJs can operate in that world as well and don’t have to feel threatened by ENFP’s
popularity.
