ENFP & ISTJ: The Unlikeliest Lovers

ENFP and ISTJ compatibility. Here's a quick video that focuses on cognitive functions. ENFPs and ISTJs use the same thought processes but don't prioritize them in the same order.

Does that make them particularly compatible? Is that too challenging?

I'm an ISTJ, and I've been married to an ENFP for about twelve years. We're very happy, but our relationship takes a lot of patience and understanding. Everything you said is true. Isn't it nice when the theoretical can meet reality? That's actually my relationship with my husband in a nutshell. 🙂

"What do you mean the world has an impact on me?!?" -HahaHa! Yup!!! Healthy ENFP's aren't imbalanced, but the unhealthy ENFP's make such a radical impact on others that most people think all ENFP's are unhealthy. Sadly, it does tend to take a lot of inner work for us ENFP's to become healthy. Always up for a new challenge!!! My cute ISTJ is EXACTLY as described. Loyal, kind, and logical. We do make decisions together really relatively easily. I did struggle with not feeling loved or wanted and he perpetually struggles with my erratic-ness towards home tasks and orderliness (what orderliness?). But, after 22 years, he has totally won me over by proving his loyalty. When he's healthy and less stressed, the novel part of my nature is refreshing to him, rather than draining. When he's not healthy/stressed, I take my novelty elsewhere for a while and that's fine! It's too much pressure on a marriage to have every aspect of what makes you happy come from that one person! I have friends! He has a man cave. It works!

ENFP here who dated an ISTJ girlfriend. She favored stability, consistency and tradition, I was more whimsical, wanted to try new things and felt a bit trapped haha. But it's okay.

Great video!!
As in any "couple-forming", your type counts but your psychological needs also come into the equation: do you need a person who challenges you or one who reassures you. Any way is good :)

Does it worry anyone else that Ennpey - famed for her chaotic persona - just has a sword available within a second of discussing swords?

Use the same decision making functions
Istj too rational. Too much novelty.
Enfp too imbalanced. Concrete world’s effect.
