INFPs are genuine people, good for warm fuzzy stuff like hugs and snuggles, and when well-developed have a stable sense of who they are. Potential pitfalls-- they can be flaky sometimes, and they really, really don't like criticism! Don't mess with an INFP's inner Chewbacca!What do ENTJs think of INFPs?

I like'em. Like little, precious autumn leafs.
Always trying to be as kind as possible.
So very insightful and a bunch of fun to be with.
However, I do get impatient with how indecisive they can be. And how inconsistent they are, sometimes. Makes me feel like I don't know which foot to stand on. And like someone else said, they need to practice straight-forwardness.
If we did all that stuff, we'd just be ENTJs. What's the point?
I believe INFP's need to practice outspokenness.
That's one area where the two types are polar opposites.
ENTJ: I'm going to tell you exactly what is on my mind. Deal with it.
INFP:I'm going to say something warm and fuzzy with a cherry on top and hope that you know what I'm really thinkingI'm going to respect how you see the world unless you truly diss the important things in life, because I respect you and cherish your insights and value the relationship we have.

It's true that I can be inconsistent/unreliable/indecisive in some areas, but not all. I'm pretty clear about what I want from a relationship..I feel like I'm the one having to do the guessing actually because he's not very good at dealing with having feelings (whereas I can recognise what mine are and what they mean pretty much instantly).If I had a say in who I fell in love with, I don't think I'd choose to fall in love with an INFP - just too much uncertainty and unpredictability. I want my relationships to be stable! No guessing around, no mind-games, no roller coasters. I think I'd really have to love the INFP to be able to put up with that.
I don't know if other INFPs are like this, but I can be really blunt and honest when I do speak up. Of course, sometimes it's not worth it and I just keep it to myself, but I think that's a good thing, otherwise I'd be constantly picking flaws in everyone and spreading the negativity.ENTJ: I'm going to tell you exactly what is on my mind.

I read somewhere else actually about INFP wanting a 'soul mate' whereas ENTJ seek a 'mindmate' (emotional connection vs intellectual connection), and also that ENTJ feel INFP need guidance/looking after and are therefore the dominant one in the relationship. Anyone else agree with this?
INFP: I'm going to say what I believe INTENSELY in if we venture into that topic. If I don't care, you can rant away and I will nod and be all ears and enjoy your strong perspective on a neutral topic. If I find a reason to disagree I WILL, especially if we are in a long-term relationship and you need to know where I stand.
About the indecision, yeah...I am awful at that.
ENTJs are expressively dominant/aggressive but INFPs have high ideals too. They may not initiate but they do want things their way.
