ESFJ 2 + INFJ 1 = ESFP 7 + INFP 4

which is weird because the in the line of integration (or whatever that's called) it goes 2-->4-->1-->7
and my parents are both FJs, my brother and I are FPs; my dad and I are INFx, my mom and brother are ESFx.
my mom shares 2 functions with me and with my dad; my dad shares two functions with my mom and with my brother.
I think my dad is so/sp, and my mom is either so/sx or sp/so. no idea about my brother.
I think my extended family is predominately sx-last, superego type.

I've always been told I'm more similar to me dad than my mom, probably because of our higher-Si. How did two Fi users create two Fe children??

It's like I got the ENF from my mom and got all my dad's prioritized functions. :D

ENTP (dad) + ISFP (mom) = INFJ (me) + ???? sister. My sister's huge damn ego and unpredictable mood swings make her an impossible person to type. She was "officially" typed as ESTP through one job, then "officially" typed as INTP through another job, and "officially" typed as ESFJ through yet another job. (She worked for the kinds of companies that liked to bring in MBTI consultants.) I just gave up.

ESFJ mum + ISTJ dad = INTP moi (+ISTP bro & ExFx sis, she's ridiculously hard to type but she tested as ENFP once)

ESTP grandma + INTJ grandad = ESFJ mum (dunno her sister's type probs ISTP) though tbh they weren't really properly raised by their parents.

My dad's parents were too old for me to get to know, only met the mother at birth and my memory isn't that good. :p

That's really interesting. I wonder whether there is a correlation, but a different type of correlation. Well I'll give you mine.

INXP(mom)+ENFP(dad)=INFP(me)

Mother Side
ESFJ but used to be ISFJ(grandma)+ESTP(grandpa)= INXP

Fathers Side
ESFJ(Mimi)+ENFX(leans towards I, papa)= ENFP

I really don't think there is a correlation that way because my dads brothers are INFP (like me) and ESTJ.

At a quick glance, could it be that N abilities are linked to recessive genes? It seems to skip generations sometimes.

For me, I'm not entirely sure of types.

Mother's side:
Grandmother: ISxP
Grandfather: ENTP
My mother: ISFP

Father's side:
Grandfather: Unknown (died in 1970) - all I know is he drank and gambled A LOT.
Grandmother: ENTJ
My father: xNTJ

Mom and dad were both SFJs although Dad developed PTSD at the end and started acting INTJ.
Mom's side: grandma-xSTJ, grandpa-ENTP i think
Dad's side: pops-never met him grams-ISFJ.

ENTP father + ESxJ mother (more ESFJ-ish, though) = ExTP me; ESxP brother

ISTP grandfather + ExTP grandmother = ENTP father

ENTP grandfather + ISFJ grandmother = ESxJ mother

INTJ mom and ESTP/ENFJ (unhealthy Fe-Se loop of some kind) father. I'm ISTJ, only Si user.

My maternal grandparents are ISFJ (grandmother) and INTP (grandfather). My paternal grandparents are ESTJ (grandmother). My grandfather died 20ish years before I was born, but he sounds like a stereotypical INFP.

My mom's sister is an ESFP, leads to conflict. Dad's sister is an ISTJ like me.
