    ESTJ and ISTJ relationship

    What would that be like? Look like? Feel like?

    In the context of a romantic relationship, close friendship, platonic friendship, or familial relationship (ie. parent-child or siblings)?

    Is it generally healthy or unhealthy?

    What are the good and/or bad things about the relationship?

    What would make it an unhealthy relationship?



    A lot of questions, but I'm curious. :)

    My dad is an ISTJ and I've met a few ISTJs as well. In my experience, I didnt get along with any of them including my dad. Our conversation never went beyond anywhere but hi's and how are you's and we barely talk but if given the opportunity, we would say something to each other. Another problem is, we cant seem to pull off a conversation that lasts for more than 10 minutes. I cant imagine having an ISTJ as a friend or to even consider a relationship with one. My mom is an INFJ and I talk to her more often about her problems and whats going on and it actually goes somewhere compared to my dad.

    I say it depends if both of them were actually healthy or unhealthy or either one of the two is then that would determine how the relationship would be like.

    I wouldnt see anything good out of the relationship except we both excel in thinking logically and put our functions to use is a way id see we both can relate but other than that, I always got bored talking to an ISTJ.

    Thanks for that tskim. Interesting how one letter could make a world of difference.

    If not ISTJ's then what personality type, excluding your own, do you get along with the best? (In the context of the relationships I have stated above.)

    Either an INTJ, INFJ or an ISFP for a relationship.

    I can imagine being with an ENFJ as well but I'm not so sure how great that would work out.

    with an INFJ, I would feel at home with them if they've given me the opportunity to be close to them and if I did too as well and proven that we can connect. I've met a few INFJs and we connected since we always talked on a daily basis. We always shared our opinions and we basically got along. I could imagine the same with an INTJ, and there wouldnt be much of a conflict between us because of how our functions are ordered, which arent any different and there wouldnt be any complications compared to the other types.

    and it might be the relationship for the two didnt work out but they got along well in terms of their personalities, and there would more of agreements than disagreements.

    Anyway, I'm in a relationship with an ISFP and we pulled it off great. We compliment one another except we do have a few problems with our differences but we try to work it out. Im not very compassionate and I'm not able to follow through with emotions like he's able to and in a way, I'm learning from it. There are downsides to the relationship as well as the good.

    What wouldve made this relationship unhealthy is if he had mood swings and didnt care to communicate but only does it in his terms and what might seem like an 'unhealthy' behavior for an ISFP would make the relationship unhealthy as well.

    Anyway, I hope I helped.

    It would be a beautiful relationship. In fact the ESTJ and ISTJ would probably start their own accounting firm together.....Aww....true love....I can just see it now. ...

    ESTJs are some of my best friends. I get along with them and find them to be some of the most helpful people.

    Nate, you are such an ENTP.

    I took a functions test and I used Ne followed by Fi and Ti is my third most used function. I use a hell of a lotta Ti. That's probably what it is.

    I learned something today that may explain the confusion: Pulp Fiction is your brother. You may be unconsciously imitating him which would cause some of the type confusion I've seen in your posts.

    No he and I are completely different. He is highly planned, serious, exacting, organized, strategic, calm, and he often gets pissed off very easily by the things that I do and he'll go off on a Samuel L. Jackson rant on me.

    I am entertaining, artistic, creative, spontaneous, audacious, high strung, full of anxiety, random, and tend to be flirtatious with just about every single woman that comes into my presence.

    He and I are SOOOOOOOOO different.
