Who ENTPs Are Most Compatible With
ENTP’s personality compatibility is based on the cognitive alignment of the types, their temperament, and their interaction style. ENTPs are as follows:
- Cognitive functions: Ne Ti Fe Si
- Temperament (Kiersey): Rationals
- Interaction style (Linda Berens): Get Things Going
Dating an ENTP can be magical and fun but also challenging and frustrating. This type is notoriously hard to understand and hides themselves in shadows of mystery. It’s clear that dating the ENTP isn’t for the faint of heart. So, we’ve put together a guide to dating the ENTP with our top 19 pieces of practical advice. Download our guide here!
There is no perfect 100% compatible match. ENTPs 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
ENTPs 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. ENTPs speak the languages of logic and possibilities. As a result, ENTPs 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, ENTPs are most compatible with IJ types- meaning INTJ, INFJ, ISTJ, and ISFJ. Together, they are the most efficient and get the most done. The IJ 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, ENTPs 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
ENTPs 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 ENTPs least compatible with?
ENTPs 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 ENTPs with other personality types.
Incompatibility with NJ types- ENTJ, INTJ, ENFJ, INFJ
The NJ seeks to narrow down to 1 meaning/path while the ENTP seeks to expand to many meanings/paths. So, the NJ closes opportunities while the ENTP opens possibilities. Then, conflict arises over time wasted brainstorming by the ENTP but not deciding as the NJ wishes to do.
Incompatibility with SP types- ESTP, ISTP, ESFP, ISFP
- ENTPs prefer to focus on many possibilities that the SP views as not practically actionable in the present. So, the SP shoots down the ENTP’s ideas as they are not able to be done. This makes the ENTP feel devalued. To SP, the ENTP seems to not know how to do what needs to be done. They view them as lacking follow through. To the ENTP, 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 ENTP because they are based in an intuitive feeling and liking of a thing rather than underlying reasons. The ENTP’s logic annoys the FP. They don’t care about the reasons behind an action, just that they did it. The FP makes the ENTP feel like they’re a bad or cold person for putting logic above feeling. The ENTP 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 ENTP’s need for understanding which can slow things down. ENTPs can lack respect for TJ’s lack of depth of understanding a subject. The ENTP 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 ENTP, the ENTP 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.
