Dad: ESTJ (At first I thought he was INTP, then ISTJ)
Mom: ENTJ (YWIR is like a clone of my mother, she sounds like her, she acts like her, talks like her, artistic like her, she even looks like her)

Me: INTJ
Brother: ENTJ

I think the e-types would probably be more interesting.

Early-in-life influences -
Maternal grandmother - ESFJ
Maternal grandfather - ENTP
Paternal grandmother - ISFP
Paternal grandfather - ISTJ

Godmother/aunt - ESFJ
Godfather/uncle - ENTP

Close maternal uncle - INFP
Close paternal uncle - ESTP

Close cousin - INFJ

(shitload of other aunts and uncles and cousins - mother is one of 8, father is one of 7.)

Mom - ESTJ
Dad - ENFP

Older brother - INTP
Older sister - ESFJ
Older sister - ENFP (closest to me in age)

Me - INFJ

Younger brother - ESTJ (next closest to me in age)
Younger brother - INFP
Younger brother - ISFP
Younger sister - ISFJ

I've been surrounded by extraverts my whole life. My father is a shy extravert who opens up a ton with a little prodding, while ESTJ mother and younger brother are extraverted to a tee. My older brother is kind of an ambivert, while my two older sisters are both very extraverted, gregarious people. I see a ton of parallels between my ENFP father, ENFP older sister, and myself, thinking in terms of childhood, adolescence, and development. The three of us form one wing of our huge family. I wonder why I became his shadow while she became the same as him...

Probably posted in here already?

Maternal grandmother: ExFx (ESFJ? Maybe 7?)
+ Maternal grandfather: IxTx
= Mom: INFJ (1w2 so/sp or sp/so)
= Aunt: ISTJ (1w2 and maybe so/sx?)
= Uncle: ESFP

Paternal grandmother: IxxJ(?)
+ Paternal grandfather: ESxJ(?)
= Dad: INTP (5w6 so/sp)
= Aunt: ENxP (7w6 so/sx?)

INTP (5w6 so/sp) + INFJ (1w2 so/sp or sp/so) = ESTJ (1w2 so/sx)

My father typed ESFJ through a Keirsey test but I suspect ESTJ.

Mother is ISFJ. seems legit.

Sister is ENFP.

I believe my paternal Grandfather was ISTJ. Paternal Grandmother is most likely SFJ.

I think my Maternal Grandmother is ESFJ. Maternal Grandfather is ISTP.

So what is the personality type of your mother, your father and your type?

What about your grandparents on your mother side and father side?

Please write your formula:
MOTHER TYPE + FATHER TYPE = YOUR TYPE

MOTHER SIDE:
GRANDPA TYPE + GRANDMA TYPE = YOUR MOTHER TYPE

FATHER SIDE:
GRANDPA TYPE + GRANDMA TYPE = YOUR FATHER TYPE

Let´s see if there are any significant correlation or patterns.

Thanks.

Mother, Father, Me
ENFJ + ISTJ = INTJ

Maternal Grandfather and Grandmother
ISFP + ISFJ = ENFJ

Paternal Grandfather and Grandmother
INFP + ENTJ = ISTJ

I don't see much correlation if any from people's results. This is one of the weaknesses of MBTI, because twin studies have shown that personality is heritable...if the model doesn't predict this then that is evidence against it.
