The unfortunate part of this all is that our functions are the same ones as the ISFJ functions. So basically our Mr. Hyde is an ISFJ. And from the posts above, that can be a really manipulative type, unfortunately.

We are always talking about "working on our feeling function" but what happens then is that we can turn into ISFJs or even ESFJs. While I am sure those personalities have some strengths, they can also be quite dangerous.

I've just realized that I, unfortunately, turned into an ISFJ on some of my friends. I guess I just want to warn all the other INTPs that if you do try to increase your S and F, be aware that you could become very much like an ISFJ.

It seems an INTP-ISFJ relationship would be a great oppurtunity for both parties to not only understand another perspective, but while doing so learn about themselves/what they should strive to work on to mature fully.

Unfortunately, on paper the relationships strengths seems to be based more on keeping eachother accountable rather than having someone with whom you really feel gets you and takes joy in similar things. Also, the fact that both people are introverts would make struggles in communication harder to overcome, because instead of a more extroverted approach of voicing what's on their mind, both introverts would probably be more likely to keep the answers to the communication breakdown hidden within their own heads wondering why the other can't read their mind, why they can't see exactly where they're coming from.
