Who INTPs Are Most Compatible With

INTP’s personality compatibility is based on the cognitive alignment of the types, their temperament, and their interaction style. INTPs are as follows:

Cognitive functions: Ti Ne Si Fe
Temperament (Kiersey): Rationals
Interaction style (Linda Berens): Behind the scenes

There is no perfect 100% compatible match. INTPs are scored for their compatibility with other personality types based on four factors- communication, passion, friendship, and partnership. A match that is high in one is often lower in another. It is up to the individual to decide which factors are most important for them in a relationship.

Communication

INTPs have the greatest compatibility in communication with types that share the same cognitive functions. The cognitive functions are like languages our minds speak and when someone has the same functions, we do not have to translate our minds to them. INTPs speak the languages of logic and possibilities. As a result, INTPs communication compatibility can be broken down as follows:

High Compatibility: INTP, ENTP, ESFJ, ISFJ
Medium High Compatibility: ISTP, ESTP, ENFP, INFP
Medium Low Compatibility: INFJ, ENFJ, ESTJ, ISTJ
Low Compatibility: ISFP, ESFP, ENTJ, INTJ

Partnership

For partnership, INTPs are most compatible with EJ types- meaning ENTJ, ENFJ, ESTJ, and ESFJ. Together, they are the most efficient and get the most done. The EJ balances them out and helps them to execute on their ideas. Further, their working styles do not clash with each other, preventing conflict and complacency.

Friendship

For friendship, INTPs tend to be compatible with fellow NP types. This means they have the greatest compatibility for companionship with INTPs, ENTPs, ENFPs, and INFPs. These types see the world through a similar lens and so can easily get along and enjoy activities together.

Passion

INTPs have the greatest amount of passion compatibility in a relationship with those that have opposite cognitive functions to them. For them, ENTJs, INTJs, ESFPs, and ISFPs are polar opposites to them and create a spark. However, this passion can also turn to the most electric fights. These types together are the most likely to resolve their arguments with “physical activities.”

Who are INTPs least compatible with?

INTPs have the greatest amount of conflict, and thus least compatibility, with the personality types that have opposite cognitive functions. When two people with opposite perspectives come together, they are bound to conflict eventually. While all couples have arguments no matter what their types, below are some common points of conflict for INTPs with other personality types.

Incompatibility with NJ types- ENTJ, INTJ, ENFJ, INFJ

The NJ seeks to narrow down to 1 meaning/path while the INTP seeks to expand to many meanings/paths. So, the NJ closes opportunities while the INTP opens possibilities. Then, conflict arises over time wasted brainstorming by the INTP but not deciding as the NJ wishes to do.

Incompatibility with SP types- ESTP, ISTP, ESFP, ISFP

INTPs prefer to focus on many possibilities that the SP views as not practically actionable in the present. So, the SP shoots down the INTP’s ideas as they are not able to be done. This makes the INTP feel devalued. To SP, the INTP seems to not know how to do what needs to be done. They view them as lacking follow through. To the INTP, the SP seems narrow minded and unimaginative.

Incompatibility with FP types- ENFP, INFP, ESFP, ISFP

The FP’s values do not make sense to the INTP because they are based in an intuitive feeling and liking of a thing rather than underlying reasons. The INTP’s logic annoys the FP. They don’t care about the reasons behind an action, just that they did it. The FP makes the INTP feel like they’re a bad or cold person for putting logic above feeling. The INTP makes the FP feel like their feelings are invalid in the face of logic.

Incompatibility with TJ types- ENTJ, INTJ, ESTJ, ISTJ

The TJ is focused on efficiency and gets frustrated with the INTP’s need for understanding which can slow things down. INTPs can lack respect for TJ’s lack of depth of understanding a subject. The INTP sees that the TJ can say a bunch of facts but does not have a true understanding of the subject at its core. When a TJ teaches or tries to explain a concept to an INTP, the INTP is prone to ask many questions to develop their own internal framework of the subject. The TJ sometimes interpret these questions as being dumb or lacking research.
