What type is your ideal partner?

I've had no problem finding my fair share of mature NFs who can have intelligent discussions with me. :B

Yeah, they're out there, I know. But the ones I've met are more likely to listen and not discuss. Those that have are more akin to changing the subject when I don't particularly want it changed. They were also more likely to take political correctness into account, and they hated how I didn't think about it.

That said, the INFP I dated for a while was pretty great. We had an equal love of adventure and could dream up some great things. But she needed more than I could give, so I eventually had to be the one to end it, even though she wanted to cling. But I still think she's a great person to talk to, since she's yet another individual that listens to and tolerates my rants. NFs are the best at lending an ear, in my experience. All my SP friends just ignore me, and my SJ friends try to simplify what I say. Not saying it's true of every individual of those temperaments (too many unique people out there to all fit into such general categories), but the ones in my experience weren't exactly the ones I thought were ideal. That said, I won't discriminate against other NFs, SPs, or SJs because of them; I go by a case-by-case basis with people. (owo)

I also was very close to an INFP at one point, dating her. Great discussions. She has mental issues, though. Codependency, etc. Had to move on. But you are right, they are great listeners, but some of them are also great talkers. :)

Treating people entirely as individuals is always the best strategy, in my opinion.

I've had the most success with INTP, so I'm going to go with that. I have a poor track record with other NF types.

INTJ FTW!

I kid a bit though. I don't think an ideal type really exists. Two people have to make it work.

I'm willing to be with anyone willing to love, and more importantly, to be loved since I'm really into giving to my partner. Some types are into that more than others, but most types can get there to some degree or another. Someone with Fi would probably be the most generally compatible, but that's as far as I'll go with concerning specific types or whatever.

It's interesting that the leaders all are Feelers.

But that makes sense since people are usually looking for emotional people, rather than cold.

ENTP-
I'm and ISFP and have been married to an ENTP for 19 years. And anytime I find myself attracted (personality wise) to a fictional character on movies and tv shows they are always an obvious ENTP also.

Voted ENFP, with an ENFP... Bliss.
