4 Reasons INFJs and INTPs Are Highly Compatible with Each Other
INFJ and INTP personality types may look very different based on their characterisctics
alone.
INTPs are often characterized as "the inventor" type.
Albert Einstein is an example of a famous INTP.
On the other hand, INFJs are often called "the counselor" type, and are represented
by famous historical figures such as Nelson Mandela.
While it may seem like Albert Einstein and Nelson Mandela are drastically different people,
if their type analysis is true, these world-changing men have a lot more in
common than many would think.
Believe it or not, INFJs and INTPs actually have a lot in common.
In fact, according to the article by Dr. A.J.
Drenth of Personality Junkie, INFJs and INTPs are sometimes called "the golden pair."
These two types have the potential to be highly compatible in both friendships and romantic
relationships.
So, here are four reasons why INFJs and INTPs are highly compatible as friends and partners.

1.
They're both introverted intuitive personality types.
Since both types are introverted and intuitive, they often enjoy many of the same things.
They like in-depth, one-on-one discussions, examining theories and ideas, and learning
new things.
Both personality types have deep and colorful inner worlds, but as introverts, it can take
them a while to share their inner world with others.
However, because of their commonalities, they usually find it easy to reach the comfort
level required to share a deeper part of their personalities with one another.
INTP personality types seek mental stimulation from friends and partners.
This type can get bored easily by people who don't challenge them, which INFJs are happy
to do.
INFJs seek friends and partners who fully appreciate them in an authentic and meaningful
way.
They're drawn to the INTP's constant search for understanding and meaning.
Their intuitive natures allow them to discuss abstractions and ideas for hours that may
bore other people.
2.
They share the same judging functions.
INFJs and INTPs share the same thinking and feeling functions, also called "judging"
functions.
Judging functions reflect how the brain makes decisions and draws conclusions.
INFJs have Extroverted Feeling (Fe) as their auxiliary (or secondary) function, and INTPs
have Fe as their inferior (or fourth) function.
INTPs have Introverted Thinking (Ti) as their dominant (or first) function, and INFJs have
Ti as their tertiary (or third) function.
INFJs have stronger use of Fe since it is higher in their function stack.
Likewise, INTPs have stronger use of Ti.
However, both types use both functions and value being able to learn and develop their
weaker functions by exercising them with their INFJ or INTP friend or partner.
The INFJ is often in awe of how well the INTP uses Ti, and INTPs feel the same way about
Fe in INFJs.
3.
They're drawn to their opposing perceiving functions.
INFJs and INTPs have different intuitive and sensing functions, also called "perceiving"
functions.
INFJs rely on Introverted Intuition (Ni), while INTPs use Extroverted Intuition (Ne).
While neither are sensing types, INFJs have a preference for Extroverted Sensing (Se),
and INTPs prefer Introverted Sensing (Si).
Both types are intrigued by how the other uses their perceiving functions, which seems
so foreign from their own way of taking in information.
In mature and healthy INFJs and INTPs, rather than cause conflict, this is part of what
draws them to each other.
Outside of the cognitive functions, INFJs and INTPs are attracted to each others'
general personality traits.
According to Just Your Type: Create the Relationship You've Always Wanted Using the Secrets of
Personality Type by Paul D. Tieger and Barbara Barron-Tieger, "INTPs are drawn to INFJs
because of their warmth, integrity, and emotional availability.
INFJs are often attracted to the intelligence, dry sense of humor, and quiet confidence of
INTPs.
They admire their partner's independence and find their honesty refreshing."
4.
There are not a lot of them in the world.
Both INFJ and INTP personality types are rare.
Combined, they make up under 5 percent of the population.
It's nearly as rare for an INFJ to meet an INTP as it is for an INFJ to meet someone
of their same personality type.
When these two introverted intuitives do come across one another, it can feel like they've
met a unicorn.
There is someone else who seems to understand them on a deeper level, yet there is still
a bit of mystery to discover.
All in all, that's the reasons why INFJs and INTPs are highly compatible with each other.
