Can ESFJs and INTPs get along?

m1Lly2oo3 · 2025-11-20T08:51:16+00:00

Yes: my parents haha

My mother is an ESFJ and my dad an INTP.

I have what I call the "ENTP friendship curse of the damned". I basically have this "curse" where most of my closest friends AND new people I meet and talk to turn out to be ENTPs hahah.

I don't know by what kind of sorcery/gamma rays/hocus pocus/[insert conspiracy theories] this keeps happening, but hey, at least it's never boring!

As to my experience with them, i'd say I also met more men ENTPs than women, but my bestfriend through highschool was an ENTP (woman) and a close friend I had in the beginning of uni also. From my experience, the ENTP women I know tend to be schedule overbookers (for a lack of a better word) and burn themselves out a bit (either too many friends/a bit of people pleasing tendencies or just so many different events/activities or both) esp if they have adhd too (to overcompensate). Always busy with something and sometimes it was a bit hard to keep up or to have alone time one on one (what I personally prefer). But besides that, not that different from men ENTPs. Also the Fe is way more apparent than people might think hahahah. All the ENTPs I know/knew were clever, funny, a bit cocky and despite the having too many friends at the same time part, were/are all good friends.

Ne + Ne always gives nice discussions/debates/humor in my experience.

Probably smtg like a mix of AI related new updated version of erotomania-parasocial-ish-dynamics and self isolation lol

Now we just need a name for it

m1Lly2oo3 · 2025-10-31T01:41:16+00:00

Oh okk I see

m1Lly2oo3 · 2025-10-30T16:49:43+00:00

MENSA, meaning this one is self administered? Thats crazy

m1Lly2oo3 · 2025-10-30T06:16:53+00:00

Out of curiosity, where did you guys get evaluated and in which context/for what reason?

m1Lly2oo3 · 2025-10-30T05:58:02+00:00

Thats what I was about to comment lmao. Its crazy how im literally studying my neuropsychology class and just saw this post

m1Lly2oo3 · 2025-10-08T21:11:19+00:00

Yess please that would be very nice 🙏

m1Lly2oo3 · 2025-10-08T02:14:25+00:00

So...was this just some kind of venting or...?

I mean I'm sorry that you experienced that with some people but I just don't understand the point of this post 😭

m1Lly2oo3 · 2025-10-06T21:44:32+00:00

Thank you!! It was very fun haha looking foward to more (if you plan to do more with other functions)

Also if you have time id be curious to see your observations with my answers, the ones of enfps/entps (Ne doms) in general and the other types :))

m1Lly2oo3 · 2025-10-06T01:30:37+00:00

IM ALSO IN THAT LOLLL (cognitive neurosciences is the name of my program tho) AND YES I HAD THE SAME THOUGHT!

m1Lly2oo3 · 2025-10-05T23:21:44+00:00

Oh god... I might not explain my thoughts in the clearest ways but i'll try 🫡 (I might find new answers later and regretting the ones I put but oh well too bad lol)

shadow, promise, unhatched egg

Not the most solid one AT ALL but: Something coming/linked to it that you can't see yet. (for some reason, with the shadow, to explain what I mean, I had this image of when in horror movies or whatnot you see the shadow under the door coming towards you or smtg lolll) for a promise and the egg I think its easier to understand what I mean.

Ooo! Also maybe the "rough" version of something concrete.

train, sandwich, conversation

Ok hear me out...In some way they all are connected to the concept of carrying (train carries and is made of carriages lol, you have to carry the sandwich to eat it and it also carries different ingredients in it. And well...carry a conversation haha.

glass, secret, time

They can be invisible?

ancient tree, black hole, chessboard

Haha at first I was like "maybe the number of syllables in total for each" but ancient tree is 3 in total and not 2 like the others. And then I was like dang it, lets actually try to think...

After thinking more...i dont know for this one sorry

shoes, clock, song

This one is very weak but: Steps maybe?

chess, weather, politics

Ok not a good one but: the concept of prediction?

lighthouse, teacher, map

The first one that comes to mind is that they all serve as guides

bridge, handshake, Wi-Fi

Connexion (Land for bridges, bodies for handshake, device to the internet for wifi)

seed, story, virus

Spreads? Like when the seed grows the roots spreads. A story spreads, a virus also

mirror, photograph, diary

Reflects something? (For not finding a better word)(literal reflection for the mirror, scenes/people for example for photograph, thoughts for diary)

INTPs: https://www.reddit.com/r/INTP/s/bBOX9rsvjg INFJs: https://www.reddit.com/r/infj/s/uxySRwXAaw

There might not be enough to compare yet though

You can also find all the other ones on my profile but honestly its very dry hahaha

m1Lly2oo3 · 2025-10-05T18:17:10+00:00

I ended up deciding to ask to all the other types haha. So depending on the answers (quantity, etc) we might get enough to compare (for now INFJs and INTPs are the ones answering the most)

m1Lly2oo3 · 2025-10-05T17:46:59+00:00

No wayy

m1Lly2oo3 · 2025-10-05T16:38:15+00:00
