MBTI Best Pairing Companions: Who is the Best Match for ENFP?

In the teenage years, ENFPs rely on their dominant traits and are easily attracted to types that are as imaginative and spontaneous as they are. However, as they grow older and enter the workplace, usually within three to five years, ENFPs realize that over-reliance on their dominant traits can limit their personal growth. They often find that they have many ideas but tend to give up easily, making it difficult to develop competitive professional skills. At this point, they begin to value the integration of the 'ISTJ personality': developing rational planning to balance their overly impulsive behavior and integrating practicality to balance their enthusiasm for exploration and short-lived interests.

Therefore, being attracted to ISTJ types is a sign that ENFPs desire to become a more complete self. Just as ISTJs yearn to integrate the ENFP personality within themselves. Although both types can grow, when ISTJs overly rely on their dominant traits (being overly conservative and cold), they still have little in common with ENFPs and it's hard to develop mutual affection. This is the essence of finding a soulmate at a higher level. The soulmate of an ENFP is an ISTJ, but only more mature ISTJs and ENFPs can attract each other and help each other grow.

For other personality types, ENFPs should consider two criteria: first, observe the degree of development of the ENFP personality in the other person (innovation and empathy), and second, observe the degree of development of the ISTJ personality (coordination and practicality). If both are satisfied, then regardless of the personality type, they are more suitable for ENFPs than an overly introverted and change-averse ISTJ. In real-life relationships, it depends on the individual's development. The ranking is mainly based on personality structure differences rather than individual characteristics.

The ENFP soulmate ranking is as follows: first place, ISTJ; second place, INTJ; third place, ENTP; fourth place, ISFJ; fifth place, INFJ; sixth place, ENFP; seventh place, ESTP; eighth place, ESFP; ninth place, ENTJ; tenth place, ESTJ; eleventh place, INFP; twelfth place, ISFP; thirteenth place, ENFJ; fourteenth place, ESFJ; fifteenth place, INTP; sixteenth place, ISTP.
