There is no perfect 100% compatible match. ENTPs are scored for their compatibility with other personality types based on four factors- communication, passion, friendship, and partnership. A match that is high in one is often lower in another. It is up to the individual to decide which factors are most important for them in a relationship.
Communication
ENTPs have the greatest compatibility in communication with types that share the same cognitive functions. The cognitive functions are like languages our minds speak and when someone has the same functions, we do not have to translate our minds to them. ENTPs speak the languages of logic and possibilities. As a result, ENTPs communication compatibility can be broken down as follows:
- High Compatibility: INTP, ENTP, ESFJ, ISFJ
- Medium High Compatibility: ISTP, ESTP, ENFP, INFP
- Medium Low Compatibility: INFJ, ENFJ, ESTJ, ISTJ
- Low Compatibility: ISFP, ESFP, ENTJ, INTJ
Partnership
For partnership, ENTPs are most compatible with IJ types- meaning INTJ, INFJ, ISTJ, and ISFJ. Together, they are the most efficient and get the most done. The IJ balances them out and helps them to execute on their ideas. Further, their working styles do not clash with each other, preventing conflict and complacency.
Friendship
For friendship, ENTPs tend to be compatible with fellow NP types. This means they have the greatest compatibility for companionship with INTPs, ENTPs, ENFPs, and INFPs. These types see the world through a similar lens and so can easily get along and enjoy activities together.
Passion
ENTPs have the greatest amount of passion compatibility in a relationship with those that have opposite cognitive functions to them. For them, ENTJs, INTJs, ESFPs, and ISFPs are polar opposites to them and create a spark. However, this passion can also turn to the most electric fights. These types together are the most likely to resolve their arguments with “physical activities.”
