@ashleahtaylor7747 You're fortunate to be in a fulfilling romantic relationship with a personality type that is quite different from yours. However based on my observations, the exception confirms the rule that like attract like. J.M.
@@practicalspirituality7447 I get where you're coming from, but I think it's less about type and more about whether both people are willing to understand and adapt to each other. ENFPs and ISFJs are different in a lot of ways, but that difference doesn’t have to mean incompatibility-it just means more learning is involved. I’ve been with my ISFJ partner for years (I'm an ENFP), and while we’ve had our challenges, we’ve also balanced each other out in ways that wouldn’t happen if we were too similar. She’s helped me slow down and appreciate structure, while I’ve helped her embrace new perspectives. It’s not about whether like attracts like-it’s about whether two people value each other enough to bridge the gap. Some people don’t want to do that, and that’s fine, but to say the pairing doesn’t work isn’t fair. It just takes a different approach to relationships than some other pairings do.

@@practicalspirituality7447 I am 100% an ENFP. There is no doubt about that. I have studied the cognitives function metilously over a long period and I have no doubt about my type. Ne and Fi is how I live. My partner and I clash a lot. Also no doubt my partner is an isfj.
@@practicalspirituality7447 Ok, I just watched your video you asked me to and I'm afraid it completely misrepresents MBTI & Jungian cognitive functions. Intuition in MBTI isn’t some mystical or biological trait - it’s simply a cognitive function (Ne/Ni) describing how people process information. Saying intuitives have "alpha-theta brain dominance, better jaws, or supernatural abilities" has zero basis in MBTI theory or general more grounded science. - Intuitives don’t "receive absolute truths." They recognise patterns and abstract ideas, but they can be just as wrong as anyone else. - Sensors aren’t less ethical or insightful. MBTI has nothing to do with morality - that’s shaped by personal values, not type. - There’s no link between MBTI and breathing patterns, sleep, or toxins. These are pseudoscientific claims with no support in psychology. MBTI is about how people think, not about brain waves or mystical energy. Misrepresenting it like this just spreads misinformation. As an aside, I am not closed to spiritual beliefs but this is not the same topic as that - any type can have a spiritual experience.
Hi MeliMeli66, You're welcome. Sensor Judgers (SJs) are the opposite of Sensor Perceivers (SPs). SJs are looking for a Helpmate who is very reliable, hardworking, and predictable. SPs want a fun, open-minded Playmate who will accompany them on their adventurers. ISFJs have among the lowest subtle energy of the (4) main MBTI personality types. By contrast, ISFPs have the best subtle energy of all the Sensors. Therefore, ISFPs may feel drained if they spend a lot of time with the ISFJ. Therefore, regardless of their age, sex, or sexual orientation, this is most likely a poor long-term romantic match. J.M.

Thank you. I wanted to know how compatible do you think ISFJs females and ISFPs males are? Once again, thank you.

Then who’s the best match for an ENFP?
ENFP or INFP.
@@practicalspirituality7447Thank you so much for your reply! Did you happen to make a video on that ENFP + INFP match?
@@vicrackingup2 Yes. Here's the video link: th-cam.com/video/RGTpBy3BnrE/w-d-xo.html
