my mom is an INFJ and my dad is an INTJ.
its frightening.
now i cant pinpoint a certain type i do or do not get along with because your type isn't the only thing that defines you as person but in regards to my mother and father: my mom i get along with in a very unspoken way. i know how to compliment her without it being direct, which she seems to like because she has what i call "martyrdom syndrome". otherwise she tends to push me a lot to actually get things finished; it's helpful and then it isn't helpful. i tend to need encouragement not criticism. my dad and i just talk a lot and thats about it haha. we talk about current events and just whatever. but, he actually is my main source of encouragement. he will pinpoint my weaknesses but quickly tell me how to fix it and then point out my strengths and things ive gotten better in.
