I am an ENTJ.

Mother: ISxJ
Father: ISfP.
Younger Brother: ISTP. For context, he's just a year younger than me.
Paternal Half-Brother: IsTJ. For context, I didn't grow up with him (other than short-lived annual visits). I don't wanna math right now, but he's a few years older (~2-3 years, probably).

I also spent a lot of my childhood hanging out with my aunt (my former role model), who I believe may be an ESFP, and my cousin, who I think is a quiet yet socially-involved xNFP. Anyway, these are the only consistent people in my life. Even the aunt and cousin, I rarely see these days, and based on my track record with my relationships, I probably won't stay in touch very well with my immediate family once I move out. Though that's not really relevant.

Me: IXTP

My mom: INFP with surprisingly well-developed Te (I've actually considered ISFJ for her but INFP still might fit her better)

Her brother: IXTP. Seriously. I'm kind of a clone of him in some aspects, namely Ti-Fe. We are (were) both lazy procrastinators, both band geeks, both interested in natural sciences, both with terrible people skills, both have appreciation for the finer things like sushi (once I took him to a sushi place near my house and the bill between the two of us came out to be $150 after tipping the waitress and the chef).

Her sister: no idea

Her dad: not sure.
He could be ESFJ (very social, very nostalgic, likes discussing the ins and outs of Catholicism and telling stories to everyone who'll listen)
or ISTP (antsy if he's not doing anything like building bookshelves and maintaining his vegetable garden, wants to know how things work)
or maybe ISFP (artificially suppressed artistic nature due to nuns tearing up his painting of the baby Jesus because it was "blasphemous" for not including a halo?, quietly stubborn about his personal beliefs with or without factual evidence to back them up)

Her mom: ESFJ - easily butthurt, people's opinions are everything to her; lives in the past and how she used to be so gorgeous, has almost every disease you can think of, special snowflake and wants you to know about it. Can tell you how to fix every problem ever, has an opinion on everything and she will have you know about it.
Actually she might be ESFP. Possible unhealthy Se - tends to splurge money on things she doesn't necessarily need but has convinced herself that she does, and then yells at my grandfather for splurging. Upset that she doesn't have the kind of married life she always wanted and blames my grandfather for everything. Nothing is her fault.
Either way, she's very unhealthy.

My dad: says he's INTP, but looking back at the little I know about his growing up, I sometimes have a hard time seeing it (strong Se user?). Looking at him now only though, I can definitely see it.

His mom: ESFP - definitely Se dom. Rebellious, angry child, tert Te makes her controlling, inf Ni convinced her it's too late to save her soul so she might as well do the fun, shocking stuff. Hedonistic.

His stepdad: ISTP or ESTJ. Likes his alone time, bad jokes that he'll tell forever and ever, unafraid to fire his workers if their measurements are off (contractor), bad at everything F-related


Friends (mostly my own suspicions):
ESFP
INXJ. Not sure if TeFi or FeTi.
not sure except her stack probably includes Fi (strong moral compass), Ni (at least, she reads me well, and some people would consider that a feat), Se (strong artistic streak), and Te (values efficiency and tangible benefits), not sure what order except likely not Se-dom

Lot of sensors in my family, except for my parents who both identify as Ne-aux for some reason.

Me : ENTJ
My gf : ESFP
Well, me and my gf's relationship is certainly not an easy one. But because of my domineering and forceful personality i can always control and lead her to understand and even adapt to the way i live, think and how i see the world; and also maybe she appreciate all i've done to get her so i got her respect very very well. Especially since our sexual life is always amazing ;)

Dad : ENTP
My father is an unique case. Maybe because midlife crisis beat him so hard since the last 12 years he seem to adopt an ESTJ-ish persona a lot. Sometimes he looks like an INTP as well. But he's neither as serious as an ESTJ or as clumsy as INTP(no offense). He's basically playful, funny, eccentric, not taking things too personally, smart-talking, likes to debate and much like an ENTP, he's so easily get bored that he could never hold a single job for long. He also seem bored to be a husband and a father. Lol.
Mom : INFJ
Sister : ESTP

I kinda feel pity for my mom anyway. She's an introvert in the middle of extroverts and sometimes, she complains how she feels so left out in the family. Lol.

Father: ISTJ
Mother: ESFJ
Me: INTP
Sister: ENFP/J (got ENFP as a result of a test once but I had typed her as ENFJ prior so idk abt her tbh. She's super hard to type; I feel like she adopts habits and images (or at least used to) from others pretty easily.)
Brother: ISTP

Uni friends: ESTJ, ISTJ, ENFP
Other friends (all from secondary school tbh): 1 x INTJ, 2 x INFJ, 2 x ISTJ, Two 'friends' who I honestly have never properly spent time with 1-to-1 even via texting or anything; my best guess for them are ISFJ + INFP but idk and I don't think they count but they're in a main friendship group anyway.
Old close friends have been mostly ISTJs + INXXs.

I have a very limited "family."

Me: ENTP
current Maine Coon cat: ENTP
Ex-husband: ISTP
Dad: ISFP
Mom: ESTP
Only surviving grandparent (maternal grandmother): ISTJ

I have been surrounded by Sensing people all my life. However, I take comfort in knowing that the 3 cats I've had in my lifetime are most likely Intuitive.

Family and their types!

I have been feeling this sudden burst of family appreciation and wondered if there was a correlation with the types and the families they are raised in.

My mom is an ESFP, she is the younger sister of an INFP. She eventually got married to my dad, who is an ISFP. Before they were married, my dad gave birth to my half sister, who is either a very stereotypical ESFP or a very unhealthy INTJ. My dad and mom gave birth to two kids together: a ISTP boy and seven years later an ENFP girl (thats me!).

Our relationship with one another is super interesting. My mom is super emotional, but she's also really adamant about my brother and I understanding how to manage ourselves through the real world. Her sense of humor is extraordinary even though she constantly offends my somewhat oversensitive dad. The age gap between me and my two older siblings makes it hard to interact with them, I really idolize them. I never got to really "hang out" with either of them, but watching them develop was pretty cool.

I know for a fact that my Extroverted Intuition and my Introverted Feeling were developed in part of my mom's way of parenting. She felt as though a child should never be censored just because they're a kid. She also believed that children have the right to know what's going on and deserve an honest answer when they ask questions. I'm sure my brother, who isn't as openly talkative as I am, adapted to this by gathering all he could then doing all he can. I didn't feel this way. I wanted to know as much as possible about everything possible. My mom constantly reflects on this, saying that it would've probably kept my brother and I out of trouble in school if we weren't raised to not accept 'because I said so' as an answer.

So, yeah! Family thread! What's your family like? What's their types? Do you think they have something to do with your function stack?

My mom is an ESFJ and my dad is an ISTP. My brother is an ENTP. My mom and brother are very socially extroverted while my dad and I are much quieter and reserved. My brother and I always enjoyed getting into abstract conversations that my parents thought were strange. My Si may have developed more quickly due to having sensor parents but it is hard to say for sure. I enjoyed the dynamics of these types growing up.

I don't know about correlation in functions stack between family members, but I know for sure that most often, parents' children will have the same last letter as them, meaning if the parent is J, the child will often be J. If your parents have different letters here, you'll be most likely to take on the letter of whatever parent you feel the most connected to, or the one you spent the most time with growing up.

I'm an ENTJ, my mother an ESFJ, father an ESTJ, and my sister INFJ (I suspect). Like my father, I lead with Te, but my mother leads with Fe, and my sister with Ni. We are rather different all of us, so I can really only say for sure about the last letter, which I noticed everyone in the OP's family is a P:newwink:
