Heredity of Personality Type: the type of your mother, father and yours?

ESFJ(dad)+ISFP(mom)=ISFP(me), ISTJ(sister), INFP(sister), ENFP(brother)

Although my mom and I share the same type I really doubt type is hereditary, as none of my siblings have the same type as either of our parents, closest is my INFP sister.

Lots of Fi, only 1 Fe user and only 1 T.
It makes sense now why Fe makes me so uncomfortable.

Mother's side:
ESTP(father)+INFJ(mother)=ISFP(my mom), ESFJ(aunt), ESTP(uncle), ESTJ(uncle), ISTP(uncle)

Father's side:
ESTJ(father)+ISFJ(mother)=ESFJ(my dad)

ENtJ 368 father + ISFP 729 mother (both guesses) = INtJ 549 (me) and ENtJ 874 brother.

Typing my family feels hilariously futile, but this is my best shot.

My dad is much more of an extrovert than me, though.

Hah, yeah. I know what you mean.

And ooh.. ENTJ with an INFP? That shit cray.

I'm uncertain of the INFP--she mentioned developing N later in life, so perhaps she's an ISFP who developed all her conscious functions. :shrug:
Still, strange, intense dynamic.

3 I's, 1 E

3 J's, 1 P
3 females, 1 male
My sister is the normal one.
Function-wise: Mom and sister have the same functions but reversed, I share 2 with my dad and 2 with my mom, same order with my sister but e-i reversed. Sister shares all with my mom and 2 with my dad. She gets along with our dad a little better and I get along with our mom a little better, and we get along great with each other.

Don't know if this means anything.

Sounds similar to my mom and sister, and dad and me- although he and I might have Te-Fe clash. (Not really anymore, but growing up.)

My Mom: ISTJ
My Dad: ISFJ
Me: INFJ ISFP
Brother: INTP
Mom's Mom: ISFx
Mom's Dad: ISTJ a pretty distanced non-intimate relationship between my moms' parents
Mom's Sister: ISTP ISxP
Dad's Mom: ESFJ
Dad's Dad: INTJ
Dad's Sister: Absolutely no idea. Some form of xNTx. I sense only that she was the black sheep of the family, also had falling out of some sort with her father, vs my dad being the good dutiful boy; very little interaction with her growing up, think she distanced herself from her family / didn't make much effort to bridge that, it's only as an adult that I've come to know her better

The only thing I can say that runs in my family is introversion. However, I'm not really that sure how much of it is hereditary vs more disfunctional dynamics/interactions/repression/attachment styles being passed along from generation to generation.

Edit: Also think it's beyond silly to link mbti, as is practiced on the forum/the theory, to genetics, but no desire to expound on that here.

So, not a whole lot of Fe or Se where I come from. Probably why Se seems to annoy me so much, it's unfamiliar.

I'm really not sure about my mom's type... If she weren't so dreamy and idealistic I would say she is an ISFJ... But, she's definitely an NF, not an SJ. But, INFJ doesn't fit her in a lot of ways. However, I definitely think she is an Fe user... But, maybe she is just an extremely well adjusted/organized INFP. :shrug:

All I know is that she gets me better than anyone else I've ever known and I would be lot without her at this point.

I also think it's worth mentioning that dad, INTJ brother, and I all have ADHD + OCD. :dry: Yay heritability.

Mom= ENFJ Dad= ESFP Me= INFJ (ENFJ + ESFP = INFJ)

Mom's side: Grandmother= ESFJ Grandfather= INTJ (ESFJ + INTJ = ENFJ)

Dad's side: Grandmother= ISFP Grandfather= ESTP (ISFP + ESTP = ESFP).

I don't think type is even hereditary but this is still interesting to look at :)

ISFJ (gm) + ISTJ* (gp) = INFJ (mom) (*my mother was raised by her step-father, whom she did not know was such until she was 18, and did not meet her her biological father until she was 40, he is INTJ)

ISFJ (gm) + ISTJ (gp) = ESTJ (dad)

INFJ (mom) + ESTJ (dad) = ENFJ (me)

I have no sibblings

No idea about the grandparents:

INFP + ESFP = ME

That's a weird combo?

MOTHER TYPE (INFJ) + FATHER TYPE (ISTJ) = YOUR TYPE (INTJ)

MOTHER SIDE:
GRANDPA TYPE (XNFX?) + GRANDMA TYPE (ISTJ) = YOUR MOTHER TYPE (INFJ)

FATHER SIDE:
GRANDPA TYPE (XNTJ?) + GRANDMA TYPE (XSFP) = YOUR FATHER TYPE (ISTJ)


I do think Type is inherited.

Updated from another thread with more accurate typing.

Mother: ENTJ
Father: ISTJ
Maternal Grandfather: INTJ (I have apparently received a great deal of traits from him I've heard, also who I suspect gave me my synesthesia)
Maternal Grandmother: INFJ (Definite Ni dom.)
Paternal Grandfather: ISxP? (Methinks heavy Fi valuing, ISFP?)
Paternal Grandmother: ESFJ? (I really don't know, this is merely an estimate based on stories of her personality)

INTJ + INFJ = ENTJ (I think the E might be environmental response due to the terrible childhood experienced by her, a rush outward to others to get away from a paranoid and easily insane grandmother of mine (INFJ), the INTJ became exceedingly rich off of software and left, remarried like 5-6 times)

ISxP + ESFJ = ISTJ

ENTJ + ISTJ = INTJ
