MBTI and Marriage Pairings
In the realm of MBTI and marriage pairings, there has been much discussion. It is often said that ISFJ types are highly suitable for marriage, while those with an SP temperament are merely considered good as playmates.
As an ENTP, when looking at how all sixteen MBTI types are somehow placed in the category of suitable marriage partners, I must express my opinion. ESP types are known for seeking thrilling experiences and seem to lack a strong sense of morality, which naturally makes one feel insecure in a relationship with them. On the other hand, ISFJ is truly the best type when it comes to being a loving partner.
Ranking the types suitable as lovers (not just casual flings), in my view, ISFJ takes the first place. There are tied second places for INTP, ENTP, ENTJ, INFP, and ENFP. ISTJ, ENFJ, and ESFJ come in third. Other types are likely to be less than ideal as partners and may not even reach a passing grade.
Some personality types are inclined towards physical excitement and intense emotions. They may not be inclined towards fidelity and thus cannot provide their partners with a sense of security and trust. But do all sixteen personality types truly need family and faithful love? It seems that ISFJ has the highest probability of being a good wife or husband.
The purpose of marriage could be stability or a shared pursuit. Even for an ENTP, the answer may vary depending on one's life journey. I have an affinity for ISXJ types and have friends who fall into this category.
As an INTP female, I am attracted to ENFJ males. However, ENFP might not be a good choice as they seem to be unable to do much. They are like Jia Baoyu. INFJ can be responsible for family but is often too dark.
In conclusion, when considering marriage pairings, MBTI types can offer some insights, but it's important to remember that these are probabilistic and not absolute.
