ENFJ has the most votes because INTPs like the idea of someone who will not only deal with people for them but handle their emotions for them while they do calculus or solve pi or whatever it is they do for fun.

So basicly they want a mommy :D

I want someone who can manipulate me and mask their emotions in an outgoing facade - an ENFJ. Except for all that unhealthy behavior I just mentioned.

That is odd... aren't INTPs supposed to be independent?

But on the other hand, I am not afraid of being a bit narcissistic...

Same-type attraction FTW :D

Solve pi. LOL!!! I'm going to put that on my 'bucket list'.

Seriously though, I just like it when I'm with someone who is willing and able to "buffer" some of the time-consuming people "noise". That sounds so much better than "wanting a mommy".

When I'm single, I can handle all of my family and my every day dealings with people. But, when I get into a relationship, it brings more people and and more noise into the equation. I'd be more than happy to meet (and get to know) my g/f's family (in fact I'd like it) and even 2 or 3 of her close friends. After that, if she has a big network of people she knows, it just starts to get a little crazy.

"The girls at work want to know if you want to go to lunch with us on Friday?!"

Just tell the gals I said hello. I have to work on solving pi. :yes:

Hm, no one chose ESTP? I almost did, but it came in a close second to ENFP.
I want someone louder and crazier than I am who will agree to act upon all my weird pointless plans. In short, someone who will save me from being me 100% of the time.
Or ENTP... Clearly, extroverted, thinking, and percieving people are appealing to me.

Generally smart, open, direct and honest people.

I usually get along best with other NT's and NF's. So N might play a role too.

ISFJ if female, INFP if male.

(If there were no other factors to consider)

I find ISFJs to be far more controllable than controling, and generally really nice. So I don't get where this controlling bitch characterization comes from.

There's an old thread on INTPc. I think INFJs won.

I doubt that will happen here, and up to this point the numbers are showing it.

I myself, theoretically, would prefe an ENFJ, and ENFPs and ISFJs fight for second place.

Yes, theoretically ENFJs would be best. I wonder how many are basing their votes on theoretical attraction/best match.

Mmm, I agree. That was what I had to adjust to; I found myself being handed the reigns. Now I'm with someone who is the exact opposite. It's like stepping out of a snow storm and into a heat wave.
