What type are you vs. your immediate family?

Just to see how much of a role genes play. Also you can add who you get along with most.

I'm ISTJ.

My dad is ENTP.
My mom is INFJ.
My sis is INFJ.

I would say I honestly don't get along with any one member greatly, but I probably get along with my mom the best.

I get along best with my mom. Not very well, but better than with the other ones.

I probably get on best with my dad, but we don't interact much. My sister I get along better over the years, but we're not close. My mom is sometimes hard to get along with, depending on the mood. So I don't get on with anyone fabulously, but each a little bit.
Could it be possible to find a genetic role? My family is all introverted. My sister actually looks more like my mom and acts more like her (as ISJs) and I guess I look more like my dad and act more like him (INPs). Only differences seem to be between F/T.

I think I get along with all of them pretty well.
More so now that I get to have some time away during college.

I get along best with my brother. We've always been pretty close. I've never 'bonded' with either of my parents, but we get along fine.

(in order of birth)
Me: Some sort of IN, most likely INTP or INTj (the latter for now).
Sister: ESFP
Brother: ENTP
Brother: INTP

I get along well with most of my family, but the ones that I often find myself in conflict with are my ISFJ father and my ESFP sister. I get along great with my mother and brothers.

I've been wondering recently if there is any genetic correlation between types. So seeing if there are patterns in this thread will be interesting.

Me: ENFP

Mum: INFJ
Dad: INTP
Sister: NTJ or STP (probably introverted, but my guesses at function order fit better with E)
Sister: ISFP

See also: this thread, which I think is asking the same thing.

Me, my dad, and my brother are all ENTJs.. but we're still pretty different in many ways. So I wouldn't be surprised if some genetic component determines type.

I get along most naturally with my Dad and can converse with my ENFP sister moderately well, although I'm not too fond of her. My mom and my oldest sister I don't really have much in common with so I keep interactions as brief as possible. Dads great for bouncing ideas off of and just general nerdy conversation. Sisters and mom were great for dealing with conflict and handling my emotions when I was younger, because there was a lot of it.

Hey, you have very similar pattern like me:

Me: ENFP
Father: INTP
Mother: ISFJ
Brother: ISTJ
Brother: ISFP

I get along best with ISFP brother. Ain't no problem communicating.
For ISTJ brother, he used to command me a lot when we were younger, now things are different. Though we won't agree on most of things, we get along pretty ok nowadays.
Mother - not getting along with her.
Father - I understand him more than other family members understand him, and it seems he understands me as well.

ISTJ brother is coupling with mother, they have their shit always together, ISFP brother with ISTJ brother (they are 1 year different) or with me (I'm much younger, so they always coupled togerher and I was fifth wheel).
Mother and father don't understand themselves very well. Sometimes it's really funny for me to watch them speak. I understand both, but they are just puzzled by themselves. Father hates when mother is talking about her "workplace adventures" and describing everything in freaking detail, and have 30-minute speech about one stupid event. Mother otoh doesn't get father's NT mannerism.

This thread will be merged soon, no doubt, just as recent others have been.

As I've said on those, there seem to be some strong similarities in my famiy's type preferences.

Father: ISTJ
Mother: ISFJ -- the only Feeler?

Me: ISTJ
Middle Sister: INTJ -- the only Intuitor?
Youngest Sister: ESTJ -- the only Extrovert?

No Perceivers? Seems unlikely, but...
