Hey Psych2goers!
Welcome back to another video!
Have you heard of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator?
Well, it’s a widely popular self-reported test that categorizes people into sixteen
different personality types.
Like many, you may have taken the test multiple times to figure out what type you are and
who you may be compatible with.
So in this video, we’ll focus specifically on INFJ and ENFP compatibility.
For many, ENFPs and INFJs can seem to make up an odd couple since their personalities
are so different.
While INFJs are typically reserved and highly sensitive to how others feel, ENFPs are the
life of the party and characterized by their charisma and enthusiasm.
Yet despite their differences, you may be surprised by how well-suited they can be for
each other.
So here are 10 facts about ENFP and INFJ relationship compatibility.
Number One: They are both feelers.
What kind of partner do you look for in a relationship?
Since both INFJ and ENFP are Intuitive types, it means that both will be attracted to people
who seem thoughtful, sensitive, and idealistic.
It’s through these qualities that help them feel like they can establish a meaningful
connection in their relationship.
Number Two: Similar goals in a relationship.
What do you hope to gain from a relationship?
INFJs and ENFPs are compatible in that they have very similar goals and shared values.
Both of these personality types seek relationships that can help them grow, develop, and, cultivate
the best versions of themselves.
In this aspect, they are perfect for each other.
Number Three: Conflicts are rare.
Can you empathize with how others feel?
Because of their intuitive nature, INFJs and ENFPs tend to resolve their conflicts with
compassion and empathy.
Both of these personality types are inclined to walk a mile in each other’s shoes before
judging each other.
Because of this habit, ENFP and INFJ couples rarely fight or argue with each other.
Number Four: Abstract Communication.
Have you noticed how you and your partner communicate?
The INFJ and ENFP personality types tend to have an abstract approach to communication
compared to most others.
They tend to have conversations that revolve around different creative ideas, opinions,
and theories and ignore the more mundane yet necessary conversations about pressing tasks.
But because they often have similar ideas in conversation they often end up assuming
what the other is thinking, which can create tension and lead to conflict in the relationship.
Number Five: Conversational dynamics
Are you the one who vents or listens most to your partner?
Since INFJ holds the introverted trait, they often take up the role of the listener in
most conversations.
This is not because they don’t have anything to say, but because they often feel more comfortable
in this role.
So when it comes to relationships, ENFPs should be mindful to keep the balance of talking
and listening at the same level.
Perhaps by leading on more slower-paced and insightful conversations so their INFJ partner
can feel heard.
Number Six: They share similar values
Interestingly enough, since both INFJs and ENFPs share the Intuition and Feeling trait,
they will share a lot of similar values.
But with every relationship, there will be certain subjects that they may not agree with
each other a hundred percent.
In this case, they may want to try to look at things using each other’s approach.
After all, sometimes being of similar minds can be challenging when there is a difference
in thought.
Number Seven: They have lifestyle differences.
While both of these personality types are intuitive types, they do lead very different
lifestyles.
While ENFPs tend to be more laid back, INFJs tend to be more structured in how they approach
things.
Because of this contrast, INFJs tend to misinterpret ENFP’s laid back behavior as laziness.
But these two personality types can complement each other well if they can learn from each
other, such as for INFJs not to take everything so seriously and for ENFPs to be more organized
with their life.
Number Eight: They are intellectually curious.
Do you enjoy going to museums to learn about different cultures?
The INFJ and ENFP personality types both are generally intellectually curious.
They may find fulfillment in appreciating different cultures and art and to discover
new ideas.
Because of their curiosity, they are bound to have more than one mutual hobby to share
with each other.
Number Nine: They are adventurers.
Are you bored easily?
Another aspect that INFJs and ENFPs share is their approach to life where both parties
tend to be wary of the mundane.
Instead of following a routine or going to planned events, they would rather spend their
time exploring new ideas.
So a great couple’s date night may involve learning or exploring new things, such as
traveling to a different country, attending cultural festivals, or even going to a special
interest class.
Number Ten: Planning is an area of conflict.
Do you find yourself constantly prioritizing your creative tasks over chores you have to
do?
As idealists, both INFJ and ENFP tend to spend their time stuck in their minds exploring
abstract concepts.
Unfortunately, this may mean that chores like cleaning up and anything related to schedules
get often pushed aside.
In this case, the more responsible of the two will have to deal with these tasks, which
may end up creating a lot of friction in the relationship.
An INFJ and ENFP may seem like an unlikely couple, but they actually have a lot in common.
