Who INFPs Are Most Compatible With
INFP’s personality compatibility is based on the cognitive alignment of the types, their temperament, and their interaction style. INFPs are as follows:
- Cognitive functions: Fi Ne Si Te
- Temperament (Kiersey): Idealists
- Interaction style (Linda Berens): Behind the Scenes
There is no perfect 100% compatible match. INFPs 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
INFPs 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. INFPs speak the languages of possibilities and values. As a result, INFPs communication compatibility can be broken down as follows:
- High Compatibility: INFP, ENFP, ISTJ, ESTJ
- Medium High Compatibility: ISFP, ESFP, ENTP, INTP
- Medium Low Compatibility: INTJ, ENTJ, ESFJ, ISFJ
- Low Compatibility: ESTP, ISTP, ENFJ, INFJ
Partnership
For partnership, INFPs are most compatible with EJ types- meaning ENTJ, ENFJ, ESTJ, and ESFJ. Together, they are the most efficient and get the most done. The two balance each other out and their working styles and the EJ helps the INFP put their ideas to action. They do not clash with each other, preventing conflict and complacency.
Friendship
For friendship, INFPs tend to be compatible with fellow NP types. This means they have the greatest compatibility for companionship with INFPs, ENFPs, ENTPs, and INTPs. Simply, these types see the world through a similar lens and so can easily get along and enjoy activities together.
Passion
INFPs have the greatest amount of passion compatibility in a relationship with those that have opposite cognitive functions to them. For them, ESTPs, ISTPs, INFJs, and ENFJs are polar opposites to them and create a spark. However, this passion can also turn to the most electric fights. As a result, these types together are the most likely to resolve their arguments with “physical activities.”
Who are INFPs least compatible with?
INFPs 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 INFPs with other personality types.
Incompatibility with NJ types- ENTJ, INTJ, ENFJ, INFJ
The NJ seeks to narrow down to 1 meaning/path while the INFP seeks to expand to many meanings/paths. So, the NJ closes opportunities while the INFP opens possibilities. Then, conflict arises over time wasted brainstorming by the INFP but not deciding as the NJ wishes to do.
Incompatibility with SP types- ESTP, ISTP, ESFP, ISFP
- The INFP prefers to focus on many possibilities that the SP views as not practically actionable in the present. So, the SP shoots down the INFP’s ideas as they are not able to be done. This makes the INFP feel devalued. To SP, the INFP seems to not know how to do what needs to be done. They view them as lacking follow through. To the INFP, the SP seems narrow minded and unimaginative.
Incompatibility with TP types- ENTP, INTP, ESTP, ISTP
The INFP’s values do not make sense to the TP because they are based in an intuitive feeling and liking of a thing rather than underlying reasons. The TP’s logic annoys the INFP. They don’t care about the reasons behind an action, just that they did it. The INFP makes the TP feel like they’re a bad or cold person for putting logic above feeling. The TP makes the INFP feel like their feelings are invalid in the face of logic.
Incompatibility with FJ types- ENFJ, INFJ, ESFJ, ISFJ
- To the INFP, FJs can appear “shallow” or “fake” and seem too concerned with fitting in instead of being themselves. Conversely, to the FJ, the INFP can appear “selfish” and seem too wrapped up in themselves rather than getting along with others. The FJ focuses on the group rather than the individual. The INFP interprets this as not valuing their own individuality enough. The INFP focuses on their own likes and identity over the group. The FJ interprets this as disrupting the peace and being stubborn.
