ISFJ and INTP is generally a very stable and cool relation.
As for the SJ bashing, I've noticed that "modernized" SJs are really cool, the ones with an open mind to new things and such. Lots of the bashing comes from the people who aren't like this. I call it "modernized" because in this day and age it's generally a good thing to be open minded, and being raised in that environment will make someone value being open minded more, especially an SJ I imagine (from observing how effected they are with how they are raised). And you have stuff like this- "Waaah! I'm a 15 year old INTP, and I hate my teacher, so she must be an ESFJ! SJs suck!" <- Majority.
Agreed, but to take it a step further, I don't know that "closed-minded" is in and of itself ALWAYS a bad thing. I think it gets used too often as a synonym for bigotry or xenophobia, and in that context - yeah, it's bad. But on a lot of basic (non-controversial) moral questions, open-mindedness can be at least as great a weakness. And on the more mundane - eating the same breakfast food every day, etc... - I don't see why either open or closed mindedness is preferred. Someone who doesn't like to try a lot of new foods (or vacation different places, etc) is not necessarily culturally inferior to someone who does. It's not as though one is enlightened and the other isn't. Just different preferences.
