    ENTP Family Relationships

    Okay, I want to know the role of my personality type in my family household. I've been basing it off of socionics.com's description but I want to take into consideration the mother-child bond and the father figure ideal. I don't really know how to compute it all so I'm asking you fellow ENTPs. I have a ISFJ father who I used to get into constant tremendously tense arguments, but I've learn to cope and listen even though listening to him puts a strain on my head. I have a ENTJ mother who I care for. I love her because she always looks out for me. I sometimes feel that she is useless to me especially when I become too demanding of her. I have two younger sisters one one year younger who is ENFP and one two years younger who I think is ENTP also like me. I think of the ENFP as very air headed and always disagreeing with me over small stuff but I always have her back and try to look out for her especially when other family members are against her. The ENTP sister is always against me in every way. Sometimes I like to help her out but she always thinks she's better than me in every way and pay very little attention to me when I speak to her. I think of her as an annoying bitch.



    Also is there a better website with Personality Type relationship specifics on friendships, coworkers, family, couples, marriages, and roommates?

    In my experience, you'll really only find generic relationship descriptions online. If you want more in-depth descriptions, look to books. Keirsey's Please Understand Me II comes to mind, although I'm sure there are better and more specific ones if you just look. Visiting the local library works well enough as a starting point.

    Keep in mind, also, that not all disagreements can be attributed to type alone. Some people really are just bitchy.

    Best of luck!

    I have an ENFP identical twin. We are bff sometimes and have terrible fights others. As we get older its better, but only once we realized that our fights are caused by the f/t differences. I get frustrated, talk more tensely. She equates that to "yelling", gets upset. I get more annoyed, which comes through in my voice. She gets more upset because I'm being mean. etc.

    Older sister is an ISFP. We have nothing at all in common and never talk.
    Little bro is an ENTP too. He is my protoge, and I live vicariously through him.
    Mom in an ENFP and way too emotional sometimes.
    Dad is an INTP and seems to think he is always right. He can talk and talk and talk. He's really smart though, so he pulls it off.

    My mom is an INTP, we get along famously.
    My stepdad is ESTJ, we butt heads quite often, usually over small things that don't matter. He ALWAYS thinks he's right and just will NOT listen to me when that happens, which for me is frustrating. He can be emotionally manipulative and verbally abusive. He demands respect, but does not understand that its earned and not given and gets livid when he feels he's been disrespected.

    My only brother I believe too is an ESTJ and we get along fine. He's a meteorologist and I'm a biology major, so we often enjoy a good science discussion.

    My sister in law is, I believe either ESFP or ISFP. We also get along great, but I find myself sometimes getting annoyed at some kind of oddball complex, a mothering complex or something, idk. But she always has a need to try to mother and nurture me and she believes her life experiences are priceless and I can learn much from her even though she hasn't done much more than take care of kids at a gym day care and work at Long John Silvers.

    My family is predominantly Sensors which really bugs me to no end. I have a ESFJ mother and we are constantly butting heads and getting into heated arguments. She is a responsible loving mother but is so illogical and emotional I just cant stand it. It's nice to have my ESTP step-dad around cause we are alot alike. Since he is the only other T, he automatically earns my respect. I have a ESFJ sister who is a mini me of my mom but very sneaky manipulative which also earns my respect My little sister is a INFP, she is a dreamy child who can be surprisingly funny and goofy at times and is always caring about others.

    mom is an INFP, dad is an INFJ used to be ENTJ and ISFP. yeaa he's all over the place. my sister is an INFJ, her husband is ESTJ, my brother is ENF/TJ.

    I mess with my mom sooo much, i've always been able to push her buttons
    I respect my dad but i'm not as close to him as i wish i was. he's a lot warmer now than he used to be. it's good but at the same time he has more mood swings where as before he'd have angry outbursts lol. I've always had really good debates and intellectually stimulating conversations with him. i like that he's more supportive and open-minded now though.

    my brother and dad don't get along but he's a mama's boy. as the yrs go by he's been trying to act more and more like a father to me and it's annoying the crap outta me.

    my sister is like the mom i shoulda had <3 ilove her and she's like my bff. she's very protective and strict though. great sense of humor but a bit moody and can't stand being wrong.

    my sister's husband is like my savior lol. my mom and sister gossip about work when she comes over and me and kenny just sit there like WTF! we get along really good and we have the same sense of humor. he keeps my sister sane, which is nice

    My Dad's a ISTJ, we get along pretty good, but his intense gotta do whats right thing gets annoying. As long as we avoid religion and politics, and stick to logical scientific topics it's pretty good. But, we do have problems like I was looking up the video for Morphine - You speak me language and sees and starts telling me he wishes I would quit filling my mind with "dope" music. That he raised me to listen to good, right music, like merle haggard and that this is just a stage of rebellion I'm going through.

    My Mom is a XSFJ and we fight quite a bit, our conversations our pretty much non-existent unless she just nods, or I just suck it up and go along with all the logical fallacies in her thinking.

    I know they love me, but I can't help but feel its just because I'm their son. They're always trying to force a irrational ideal of "right" as an absolute truth. They think I'm just young and rebellious, that my thinking and entpness is simply a stage; that with time it will fade and I will be just like them.

    My sister I'm not sure about, but we get along pretty good, she could be a healthy FJ but I'm not sure what her type is. I know she cares and mostly accepts me for me, so that's good.
