Who are your best non-NT friends?

[mbeerti]

ISTJ girl, INFP girl, ESFP guy. in that order.

[Aimahn]

ENFJ, ISTJ, ESFP, INFJ.

Surprisngly the NFJs are my closest friends and the ones that I have more of a connection with. When it really comes time to stand our ground on stances though there is a decent amount of conflict. I hate the conflict that comes about with arguing against strong values. We work around it though and all is good after a little battle here and there. ISTJ is funny as shit because of his nature. Not the brightest but that only adds to his humor!

[pippi]

I've never had NT friends. :cry:

INFJs for the win. A sprinkling of ISTJ, ENFJ, and I married an ESFJ.

edit: what Aimahn said.

[Nihilen]

ESFP girl, ESFP guy, ESFP girl, ESFP girl, ESFP guy.

[sonata]

ENFJ, ENFP, ESFP, INFP, ESFJ.

In roughly that order.

I guess I like ExFx's.

[spirilis]

INFJ (formerly thought INFP), ENFP, ENFP, INFP, ENFP in roughly that order.

[mbeerti]

ENFJ, ISTJ, ESFP, INFJ.

I couldn't agree with you more. My ENFJ friend and I choose not to argue (I think we both realize that the idea of debate between us is foolish)... We just replace differences with laughter.

My ISTJ friend, on the other hand, can be extremely sensitive, defensive, and opinionated. Let's just say I choose my words wisely there. I'm often frustrated by her less-than-brightness, but I contain this and try to concentrate on the common ground and "history" we do have. Like you touched on, there are areas with her where I could easily be critical and intolerant... but I guess, due to a wanting to work on weaknesses, I try to learn from, and apply, her 'S' simplicity where I can.

[mbeerti]

Nihilen, are you male or female? I ask because I imagine your gender affects the dynamics here. Do you find this link's description true of your friendships with ESFPs? Relations of Duality between psychological ("personality") types (http://www.socionics.com/rel/dlt.htm)

I laughed out loud when I read it, because this is a great description of my INTP-ESFP friendship. The INTP-ISTJ one is pretty accurate too.

[Jack Flak]

My best friend's ESFP too.

[Nihilen]

Click my profile and check my terrific pseudo-beard. I'm quite proud of it.

To a certain extent. But I believe my friendships/relationships survive with ESFPs because they just don't let me go no matter how many times I ignore them, take some time away from them, act inappropriately towards them, etc.
They just keep coming back as if nothing happened.

[Helios]

ENFJ female.

[Ardea]

INFPs for the win!!! :heart:

[Trinity]

INFJ, ISTP, ISFP, ESTP, ENFP. Iunno why the SPs are drawn to me but I am a little worried about it :ninja:

Surprisngly the NFJs are my closest friends and the ones that I have more of a connection with. When it really comes time to stand our ground on stances though there is a decent amount of conflict.

Same.

[YourLocalJesus]

ESTP, ISTP, ISTJ, ISTJ, ENFP

NT friends: ENTP, ENTP, INTP, possible ENTJ, could be ENTP.

[Uytuun]

INFJ, ISTJ, ESFP.

Sharing Ni remains very handy, but I think it's mostly growing up together and rolling into an appropriate form of communication in part out of necessity, I think sustained effort on everyone's part to become friends the way only teenagers can is what set these people apart - we've ventured beyond type to just accept the person completely. This includes my detachment. By now they are all interesting adults - they feel like equals.

I make friends really, really slowly.

[Babylon Candle]

ENFP, ISTJ, ESTP, INTP, INTP...ISTP, ISFP, ISFJ, ESTJ, ISFP

so I guess: NP and SP is the trend...

[Richard0612]

In no particular order:
ENfP, InFP, ESTP, ESFJ, ENFJ

[substitute]

ISTP, ISTJ, INFP and ENFP. That's my three closest friends and my brother, who is both friend and family.

[01011010]

INFJ
INFP

[Mondo]

I get along well with a lot of Sensing types.
I have a lot of S friends in college but I would say my best non-NT friends are the ones back home which include an INFP and two ISTJ's.
A lot of my friends are ESFP's. ESFPs, along with ENFP's, tend to be easy to get along with since they are enthusiastic and easygoing about things.
(However, I don't know many ENFP's- maybe one or two of the ESFP's would test as ENFP (especially with that blasted Humanmetrics test)- but I think they are ESFP.)

[Airporte]

enFJ, possible isTJ (could be an N)

The only other close friend I have is an INTP, but that's pushing it a little. We exchange emails daily, so it's a cool friendship.

Another NT might be the aforementioned isTJ. He's a little strange--and young, so it's up in the air.

[Cenomite]

The only friends I have who's types I am certain of:

INFP, ENFP, INTJ, ENTJ, ENTP, ISTJ. ESTJ (last two recently acquired)

The ENFP is my best friend. I have the closest relationship with my INFP and INTJ friends, probably the least connection with the ISTJ. I have a few ENTJ friends, but they can be a bit much at times, I need to take some of them in doses.

I find I often have extreme mental disconnects with S types. When I'm explaining a joke to an N friend, I'll usually just need to explain step 1, and they'll infer steps 2 and 3 by themselves and figure out why it's funny. My ISTJ friend, and some other S types I've ran into, often need steps 2 and 3 as well. This isn't all S types of course, just a few I've ran into.

[TheJimbo]

ISTP, ESFP, ESFP, ENFP, ISTJ, INFJ, INFP, INFP. My only NT friend is INTP.

[Shaula]

ENFP, ISTJ, and ENFJ.

[ed111]

enfp - often bugs the crap out of me so much so that i'll refuse to speak to him for months, but still the person who i most connect with and one of the most interesting people i know.

esfp - party guy, but has married now. Not sure how long it'll be before the divorce :)

infj - very insightful and intelligent.

[calamedes]

my best buddy is an INFP (it's impossible for us to decide on hanging-out plans most days :P)

after that, my ex is an ESTJ and we got along great! INFJ, ESFP, and a few other SJ's and NF's. I only know one or two other NT's and they're both J's.

[CJ99]

INFP (girl) xSTP (guy) and ESFP (guy)

[Jennifer]

1 male INFP
3 female INFPs
1 female ISFJ
1 female ENFP
2 female INFJs
1 female ESFJ
1 female ESTJ
1 female ISFP
1 female ENFJ

Note #1: The majority of my NT friends (of which I have a number) are males.
Note #2: Apparently I'm not that fond of T's unless they're N's.

[calamedes]

I agree, Jennifer. my dad's an ISTJ and his basic thought process is this:

say you have a wall in your way. i'd find a rope and climb over it, go around it, under it, etc. my dad would run into it until it falls down.

[simulatedworld]

All ESTJ's, actually--I can't even stand any other types.

[Bougal]

Real friends? One ENFJ and one INFJ.

Conversing friends: An ENFP and an INFP along with the two above.

Fun Friends: gaggles of ESFPs and couple ESTPs, ISTJs and ESFJs, along with the two real friends.

NTs are way fun.

[Mister Eyebrows]

I associate with lot of people whose types bring a lot to the table, but my best friends are:

EnFJ male
eNTP male
EsFJ female
ENTj male
EsTP female
INtP male

I just can't get close to strong S's.. that's the problem with such a strong intuition.

[Jwill]

I really like ESTPs and ENFPs as long as they're not too extroverted. They get me to try more things and be more spontaneous and emotionally responsive.

[Willfrey]

ISFP <-- Best long-time friend
ISTJ
ENFP

[DigitalMethod]

INFJ.

[Azseroffs]

INFP girl
ENFP guy
ESTP guy <-- was my bestfriend for 3 years but now he started going down a drug induced path =[

Ive never had any NT friends.. I wish i did =[

[callmemigs]

One INFP guy (i think he is)
One INFJ guy (i think he also is)
My ENFP twin sister aka best friend

[mtaclof]

ESTP, ENFP, ENFP, INFP

[mtaclof]

INFP girl
ENFP guy
ESTP guy <-- was my bestfriend for 3 years but now he started going down a drug induced path =[

Ive never had any NT friends.. I wish i did =[
Sounds like my best friend, ESTP struggling with drug abuse.

[A Schnitzel]

ENFJ, INFJ, INFP, ENFP, ISTP, ESTP, ESFP, ESFJ, ISFJ, ISFP, ESTJ, ISTJ

But the order hasn't been finalized.

Generally... NTs are more fun.

[plaguerat]

ISTJ girl, INFP girl, ESFP guy. in that order.

INFP girl, and a cat.

my only other best friend is an INTJ male.

not sure if I fit the bill, haha.

though the cat, if applicable, would be an ISTP most likely. She's not really wisest cat of all time, but she is hilarious.

not to say SP's are dumb (well, to the rest of the world), just that most cats are, to me, either NT's or NF's. Maybe an SJ male here and there.

[callmemigs]

INFJ, INFP

both are guys and somewhat girly that I cannot tolerate them 24/7. But still, I'm lucky to be friends with them for almost 9 years.

[professor goodstain]

Out of the (whole 4). ENFJx2, INFJ, INFP. I don't know why they keep me.

Oh, right, Ti.

[velourial]

Almost all my friends are NTs or NFs. I have a close friend who is an ESFJ but could sort of pass for some combo of an ENTP/ENFJ if you didn't know better...

[Cool]

I've never had NT friends. :cry:

INFJs for the win. A sprinkling of ISTJ, ENFJ, and I married an ESFJ.

edit: what Aimahn said.

I absolutely agree, INFJ for the win :cheese: To be honest those are the only NF I get along with :cry: But ENFJ are cool to

[Aleph-One]

I get along best with INFJs. It's unfortunate that there are so few of them.

[CJ99]

ESFP guy and an ISTP guy

not 100% bout the ISTP as he tested ENTJ but then admitted not understanding half the questions! and he is definatly not ENTJ.

[Fluffywolf]

Second place, well, might be cheating. But my ESFJ sister. We totally don't get along in discussions, she's totally outragious most of the time and very irrational. But we have a certain understanding. She thinks I'm amazingly super smart and I think she has no idea what I think about her. *whistles innocently*

First place best friend I ever known, INFJ girl, friends for 5 years, dun matter when I speak to her or what I speak to her about, we both almost instantly go happy-mellow-mode every single time. It's like chemistry.

[juggernaut]

ESFJ girl, and 2 ESFP (mom and sis...think my mom was an ESFJ most of her life but she's had some cognitive loss over the past several years and her personality has changed).

I am sure I know other non-NTs but I don't spend enough time with any of them to even guess what they might be.

[lifeintechnicolor]

i haven't gotten around to typing my whole 'group' but here are my closest friends, in order

ISTJ girl, ENFJ girl, ISTJ boy

Almost all of my friends are XXXJ. They keep me in check when I forget projects and stuff. Actually everything...:doh:

[Alrischa]

ESTP girl, ISTJ girl (more IxTJ; sometimes I can identify more as ISTJ and she vice versa. we're both really borderline and I've been told that we have identical personalities), ISFJ girl (none of my best friends are actually NTs, ironically enough. A good friend, though, is an ENTP girl)

[entropie]

ISFP + INFP

[thisGuy]

ESTP
ISFJ

[substitute]

ISTP, ISTJ, ENTJ, INTJ and ESTP. All male. There's also an INFP female I'm close to, but very rarely see.

[Aderack]

ISTP female. She feels like a childhood friend who wasn't. There's a deep goofiness to our interaction, interspersed with dispassionate churning over what should by all rights be difficult emotional issues. Her endless optimism and acceptance is an interesting foil for my grouchy indifference.

She lures me out of myself and gives me an excuse to do all manner of stuff I otherwise wouldn't. We recently agreed to trade off. I'd accompany her on active quests -- tennis, hiking, swimming. We went sunbathing a couple of times, if you can believe it. In return, she'd do all manner of fussy things with me -- play German-style board games or watch films. We both like to cook, and that kind of sits in the middle.

[563 740]

ISTP, ENFx (I think)

[Mort Belfry]

I've tended to make friends throughout my life with ISTPs.

[Aderack]

Seems to be a bunch of that going on.

It would be interesting to see a more elaborate breakdown of the INTP/ISTP dynamics.

[Vildechaya]

I LOVE ESFPs and ISFPs They are sweet friends.

[Galusha]

ENFP girl, ESTP guy, ESFJ girl, ESFJ guy, in that order. I'm either too shy or don't have the Fe to draw out any introverts.

[Vanitas]

My core friends are each an INTJ, an INFJ and ..I think an IxFP.

Then another set of close friends has an ENFP and a xSFP, aside another NT.

[Vicious]

My best non NT friends are: ESFP, INFJ, INFP, ISTJ, and ISTP, in no particular order.

[paintmuffin]

INFP girl, ENFJ girl, ISFP girl, ESFJ guy, ESFJ girl. Actually I don't think I have any close NT friends... they make better colleagues.

[simulatedworld]

INFP guy, INFJ guy, ENFP girl, ESFP guy, ENFJ girl...most other close friends are NTs.

[marmandahalf]

ENFP, both guys and girls. They're disproportionately represented in my inner circle (like, 90%).

[MacGuffin]

...friends?

[forzen]

I hang out with ISTJ (2 of them) and a ESFJ. Yes my friends talk about the same stuff everyday, the ISTJ talks about basketball and MMA...so we talk about baskeball (go houson) and a common ground on boxing, cause i love boxing too. The ESFP likes to talk about all the different chick he's going to nail or have nailed...i just listen. The other one is a ISTJ chick...she likes to talk about other people's relationships and what fun thing she did over the weekend. Funny i don't have any NT friends.

[deepthought]

ENFJ ISTP ESxP ESxP yay a bunch of SP's :( I wish I had some NT friends

[entropie]

...friends?

as in : whats your favourite whisky

Glenfiddich here, 16 years single-malt

[mippus]

Mostly INFP's...
Fun to shock and play with :)

[Curzon]

2 ISFJ guys
1 ESFJ girl - they are so loyal and friendly but annoying at the same time. but forgives you too.
1 ISFP guy

and a lot of INTx guys
with 1 ENTP girl.

[Curzon]

and

2 ESFP guys
1 awesome ENFP guy
a sew SP girls(not that close)
and a hell of a lot of people i can't remember right now.

[poppy]

My best friend is an ISTJ girl, I've never gotten along with anyone like I do with her. She's an incredibly rational, hardworking person, and I've never had any problems with thinking she's not intelligent or is overly traditional like others seem to see in ISTJ. INFX seem to click with me but I've never been able to maintain relationships with them because of the emotional ups and downs.

[ghoti]

My only friend is an INFP. She keeps life refreshing and doesn't have too many expectations of me socially. She's also one of the few people that doesn't misinterpret my silence as coldness and doesn't get easily offended when I'm distant.

And unlike most people, she's never found me intimidating and doesn't try walking on eggshells around me. I like it.

[leannezinn]

lots of ESFPs, including my boyfriend. my best guy friend is an enfp and my best girl friend is an isfj.

[charliefoxtrot]

INFP. And my SO is an ISFJ.
That's about my circle of best buds.
:)

+1

[INTJ123]

interesting how many NTs here have close esfp friends, my best friend of 10 years is an esfp. It's a hilarious genius with fool pairing(I don't really mean that but stereotypically).

[mortabunt]

An INFJ and possibly an ENFP. The INFJ is male, and the ENFP was sad that she was graduating.

[BlahBlahNounBlah]

ISFP, ESFP, INFP, ENFP, INFJ

[InaF3157]

ENTP
INFP
ENFP
ESTP
ISFJ (?)

[Matthew_Z]

INFJ
INTJ
ISFJ
INTx
ENFJ

[JustHer]

INFP, ENFP and that is all.

The top 6 are NTs.

[Katsuni]

INFJ male would be my best friend, possibly becomming more than that, hard to say.

[Lithium Onyx]

I like xNFJs and xNTJs, for some reason unbeknownst to me.

[Novascientia]

I have a ISTJ friend...but we are not very close.

Other than that, I have one ENTP friend, and one INTJ friend, and that's it. They're NTs, so do not count.

[notsweetynice]

Weird, I realize I'm reluctant to call anyone my best friend these days, especially Es. I guess I gravitate towards somewhat liberal, nice and smartish people..Types vary and have their pluses and negatives.

[Jasz]

ISTJ girl, INFP girl, ESFP guy. in that order.


ISTP's are top of the list for male non-NT friends.

[Timeless]

Two ENFP guys.

[Salt n' pepper]

My two ENFP (girl)friends :hug:
My INFP (girl)friend
My ENFJ friend
and my ESFP friend

[undeciluna]

I haven't studied my friends closely but I do know that my partner I've been with for over ten years is an ENFJ.

[Tyrant]

ISFP, ESFP, ISTP. All my friends are SPs.

[kathara]

Got an INFJ, two ENFJs and an ESTJ.

[Bowie]

INFP, INFJ, ENFJ, INTJ. I've been close with INTPs and ENFPs as well.

I couldn't keep the NF's away, even if I wanted to.

[joslynk]

INFP, ENFP, ISFP.

Huh, didn't realize they were all FP's

[INTP]

infp

INFP, ENFP, ISFP.

Huh, didn't realize they were all FP's

because p > j :yes:

[Tamske]

ESTJs - one real, several imaginary ones (don't tell them). (Hey, if I carry a few ESTJ's in my head, maybe THEY can help me to remember appointments! I'll ask them...)
A textbook ENFP - she helped me to understand the ENFP description (this is just like Friend!)
Another ENFP I think... Maybe ESFP.

[sgtmac_46]

Best friend is an ESFP.........wife is an INFP.........I tend to prefer SP friends. I've got a few SJ friends, but they get on my nerves after a while (or I get on theirs).

[InfiniteIntrigue]

ESFP
ENFP


<3

[slowriot]

I dont have really close nt friends there are a few I suspect is nts though but not many.

My better friends are ENFP/ESFP and ISTP/ISFP/INFP (cant figure him out yet), ISFJ.

[Metamorphosis]

INFJ and ENFP

[BlueGray]

An INFP and a bunch of ISJs.
I have a few NT friends, although ISTJ is by far the most common type in my friends.

[royompiscus]

i guess it'd have to be all the fucks who left me for dead when i started with anxiety, went to depression, and eventually into psychosis. Don't get me wrong, I'm not bitter, because I know they're special ;-) But other than that, I'd say I've had one real friend... but he was "P"-ing along with all the other types and didn't know any better. "Um yeah, I'm 24. Is that ok if I run the world..?"

[Ezra]

I have an ENFP best friend who I've known since I was seven. Besides him... no one. My other best friends are ENTJ and INTJ. I tend to see most SPs and SJs as a bit too different from me lifestyle-wise and/or not on my wavelength intellectually. My brother is ESFP, my sister ISFP, my mother ESFP and although I love talking to them in the end spending too much time around them drives me crazy.

[visaisahero]

INFJ girlfriend,
INTP mentor-figure,
ENFJ buddy,
ESFP and ESFJ bandmates,
and a group of regular-meet-up friends consisting of: ISTJ, ISTP, INFP, ESFP
close female friends: INFJ, INFJ, ENFP

[oneoutside]

Good friends: ENFP, ISFP, ISFP.

Romantic: ENTJ, ISFP.

Partners-in-crime: ENTP.

[PoprocksAndCoke]

A shitload of ENFPs. A few crazy ESFPs. The random ENFJ. Some INFPs.

[Annyong]

I have a best friend who is an INTJ, but other than her,
Other Best friend:ENFP
Other friends: 2 ENFJs, ESTJ, INFP, 2 ESFJs, and a few of ESFPs.

[ObeyBunny]

Who are your best non-nt friends.

My sister- INFP,
my aunt- INFJ,
my brother- EN(something)(something),
my brother's room mate- ESFP (It's True),
My childhood imaginary bipedal rabbit man best friend who has purple fur and a loin cloth-INFJ (probobly)
My dog- E(something)(something)(something)

[yvonne]

i usually get along well with EFs.

[brainheart]

Romantic: ESFP

friends for talks: INFP, INFP, ENFP, ENFJ

fun to drink with: ISTP, ENTP, ISFP, ESTP, (sometimes INFP)

[milkyway2]

ENFP, ENTP, ESTP

interesting..

[highlander29]

ISFJ ENFP ISTJ ESTJ are closest friends. Also, I'm meeting some really great other types of NFs on the forum that I don't seem to find IRL

[Windigo]

ISTP-always click right off the bat and stay close friends forever (Usually meet in the back of the classroom--I let them copy my notes they invite me dirtbiking!)
ISTJ-take a while to warm up but stay long term friends-- good for livening up the conversation at funerals and football games.
ENFP-usually become instant friends but I either inspire or depress them at any given moment.
ESFP-flit in and out of my life, usually when I need a lift
INFP-always there in the background to have coffee and discuss literature great for taking on backpacking trips across Europe.
ENFJ-I seem to collect them like burrs, but they make good minions! Always back me up in a fight.
INFJ-I find I am one of the few people they listen to--good for challenging ideas--both ways.

[Magic Poriferan]

ENFP girl.

[copperfish17]

Non-NT's only? Aww. ;) I has an awesome INTJ fwend IRL (a FEMALE one at that!).

In no particular order:
2 ENFJ's (one male, one female)
INFJ (male)
ISTJ (female)

[milkyway2]

ESFP guy, ENFP girl, ENTP girl

Interesting @ the trend with ESFPs...
