Why Do INTPs Like INFJs?
INFJs’ empathetic and communication skills
INFJs have great emotional and intellectual depth, making them excellent at communicating and understanding other peoples’ thoughts and feelings, which INTPs appreciate.
INFJs have empathy and the ability to talk about pretty much any topic. They get to the root of a problem or topic during discussions.
INFJs can argue INTPs thinking, making them feel excited and curious. Both have great synergy with each other.
INFJs’ ability to have deep and philosophical conversations
Both these personalities love having deep and meaningful conversations. They compliment each other. While INTPs enjoy discussing ideas and look for wisdom, INFJs look for meaning and understanding. They enjoy each other’s unique perspectives in life.
Their conversations can go on for hours and hours, going through different topics and ideas while feeling significantly stimulated.
INTPs and INFJs are good writers that like to express their thoughts and ideas through written words. Their minds are always full, and they need to get it out of their head somehow.
INTPs feel comfortable and understood around INFJs
Both are constantly tinkering with different ideas, processing information, and abstracting random theories and concepts.
It takes little to no effort for INFJs to understand and see through INTPs’ minds, which other personality types cannot say. Both love academics, and that’s an excellent way for them to bond and connect.
Not many people can keep pace with INTPs’ intellectual rants. But INFJs are patient and knowledgeable enough to sit through INTPs’ rants and chime in with interesting comments and observations.
INFJs are loyal and help INTPs make friends
INFJs have a strong sense of loyalty and devotion. They value their friends and relationships and often maintain them for many years, making INTPs feel secure and embraced.
INTPs feel like they can count on INFJs no matter what because they will always be there for them.
In addition, INTPs like INFJs because they help them understand and relate better with other people. INTPs are logic-oriented, and the emotional awareness that INFJs bring to the table helps them a lot with being more diplomatic and empathetic.
INFJs help INTPs to stay focused
INTPs are always open to new ideas and experiences, which might get them in trouble because they lack focus and discipline. INTPs wide array of interests sometimes also include some obscure and inappropriate topics.
INFJs help INTPs narrow down their projects and understand that there must be focus and discipline to achieve any great heights in life.
INFJs help INTPs with execution and taking action
INTPs are prone to staying too much inside their own heads and never really put their ideas to the test and make things happen. They are not very disciplined and just go with the flow.
INFJs, on the other hand, are highly organized and able to plan and execute their ideas carefully.
That being said, INFJs can help INTPs coordinate their efforts in a better way. INTPs learn the value of deadlines, calendars, planning, and not giving up.
INFJs know how to deal with other introverts better than anyone
INFJs understand and value the importance of personal space and some (a lot) of alone time to process ideas and feelings. INTPs are often misunderstood in that regard, but they find someone who truly understands them in that aspect with INFJs.
There’s little friction between the two because they want to stay home most of the time instead of spending tremendous energy in social gatherings. They also understand each other’s disappearances.
Why Do INTPs Hate INFJs?
INFJs have a big ego and be egotistical at times
Appearances matter a lot to INFJs. They might become too preoccupied with how they look or how others perceive their thoughts and ideas. INTPs, on the other hand, are pretty straightforward and usually don’t care about others’ opinions.
INFJs are perfectly fine joking about others. But at the same time, they can get offended if they are the ones receiving the heat. INTPs don’t like stepping over eggshells, which might make them go crazy.
INFJs can get needy and demand too much attention
INFJs are extremely sensitive individuals who are prone to clinginess and drama. They get upset when they sense that others are not treating them the way they deserve.
When they are moody, it’s hard for them to recognize and appreciate what others are trying to do for them.
INTPs, as we know, are not really emotionally aware, and those demands coming from an INFJ might be too much for INTPs to handle.
INFJs can read others like a book… and manipulate them
INFJs are pretty aware of their ability to connect with people and then manipulate them.
INTPs are pretty good at spotting inconsistencies, though, and they often catch INFJs with their pants down in their secret little plans.
INFJs read other people’s emotions like an open book, and sometimes they bring up themes that others are not ready to talk about yet.
INTPs might feel uncomfortable when INFJs bring up sensitive topics that they are not ready to share.
It’s hard to keep things from INFJs, and INTPs are secretive by nature. So there’s a recipe for trouble.
INFJs complain a lot but don’t accept other people’s advice
INFJs often share personal things with people more often than they should. They kind of demand others’ attention and feel like it’s their responsibility to help and listen to them.
INTPs don’t mind listening to their complaints as long as they are interesting… But what really irritates INTPs is that INFJs don’t want any practical solutions to their problems…
They just want to complain and disregard other people’s suggestions to solve them.
INFJs enjoy too much physical contact
Not much to be said here… INFJs enjoy connecting with others through conversations and physical intimacy.
INTPs, on the other hand, usually don’t like too much physical contact and might dislike having to constantly fulfill INFJs’ needs for touching.
What Makes INTPs Trust INFJs?
They are the two sides of a coin that complement each other.
INTPs are lacking in the feelings department. They often crave it a lot because of their inability to deal with emotions. INFJs are perfect for that since they are a natural source of love and care. INFJs can read other people’s needs quite easily.
INTPs like to solve problems and are constantly curious about something.
INFJs provide that source of excitement for them because of their mysterious personalities and chameleon-like behavior.
INTPs feel very at ease with other INFJs because both are introverts that understand each other’s need for space. Trust is something that just comes naturally with this kind of interaction.
Summary
It’s like INFJs personality is a puzzle that the INTP is happy to solve.
There’s a natural connection and magnetism between the two. They are the two sides of a coin that complement each other’s weaknesses.
