[Bougal]

Mom: ESFJ
Dad: INTJ
Older Brother: INTJ
Me: ENTJ

My grandpa and aunt on my dad's side are INTJs too, and my grandma is an ENFP I think, but she is the only one that hasn't taken the test. My grandpa on my mom's side was an INFJ and my grandma was an ESFJ. Their daughters are ESFJ, ESFJ, ISFJ and there are two I don't really know but I think they are SJs of sorts based on our limited interactions.

My friend's family is all typed:

My friend: ENTJ
Mom: ESFP
Dad: INTP

My dad's younger sister's family:
Aunt: INtJ
Husband: iNTP
Older Cousin: INfJ
Younger Cousin: ISTJ

My mom's older sister's family:
Aunt: ISFJ
Uncle: ENTp
Cousin: ISTJ
Cousin: INFJ

Wow. Do they let you out of your cage on the weekends?

 

[maliafee]

I thought I just posted this, but it never showed up (weird)...

I just wanted to thank everybody for your help and contributions.

Keep it coming -- I'm only 1/3 of the way there (to at least 50 case samples), but you've been a huge help already. Anyone who's lurking around but thinking about helping out, please don't hesitate!

Thanks again!!!

Since I think nature causes type, I thought I'd see if there's an obvious correlation. However, given the nature of genes, this won't necessarily tell us what I want to know.

IIRC, the genetic influence is close to 20 and 40%, depending on trait. So pretty strong. However, I don't think you'll get the data you want from this. You have to deal with binary and a high degree of error in estimations of type.

Even so, I'd contribute, but I'm adopted

I'm sure you're right. I just wanna SEE though.

Neat you're adopted. I love the idea of adopting someday...

[Venom]

Mother: ESFJ
Father: ISTP
Sister: INTJ
Me: ENTJ

Paternal Grandmother: INFJ
Paternal Grandfather: ISTJ
Aunt (paternal): INFJ
Uncle (paternal): INFJ

Maternal Grandfather: ESTJ
Maternal Grandmother: ISTJ
Aunt (maternal): ESFJ
Uncle (maternal): ISTJ

is J dominant over P?

 

[TaylorS]

The relatives I can type fairly certainly:

Me: INTJ
Dad: ISTP
Mom: INFJ
Half-Sister: ENFP
Sister's husband: ISTJ
Niece: ENTJ
Paternal Grandfather: ESTP
Paternal Grandmother: ISFJ
Maternal Grandfather: INTJ
Maternal Grandmother: ENFJ

The striking thing to me is that my Mom's side packed with Ns. Autistic traits and an ability to do arithmetic in one's head very easily also run on my mom's side

 

[CJ99]

TYPE: eNTP
FATHER'S TYPE: ESTJ
MOTHER'S TYPE: ExFj not sure about S/N as she seems to be forced into the SJ thing by her dad
SIBLING 1's TYPE: Little Sister INFP
SIBLING 2's TYPE: Little Sister ExTJ of some sort. I think my dad makes her more S as she trys to please him.
SIBLING 3's TYPE: Little Sister ESxP she got Se written all over her.
SIBLING 4's TYPE: Little Sister only 4 so not sure quite N but no other idea

 

[Southern Kross]

Mom = ISFJ
Dad = ESTP
Sis = ISFJ
Me = INtP

Paternal Grandfather = ISTJ
Paternal Grandmother = IxFP
Maternal Grandfather = xSxx
Maternal Grandmother = ISFJ

Paternal Uncle = xSTx
Paternal Uncle = xSxx
Maternal Uncle = ISFJ
Maternal Aunt = xSTJ

As far as N's go, I have one cousin (ENFP) on my father's side. Everyone else in my entire basic extended family (those listed above and the other nine cousins) is an S.

Yeah I'm kinda on my own in my N too. Of all my family (parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins), a group of around 35 or so, I think its safe to say I'm only 1 of 2 Ns.

Father - ISTP
Mother - ISFJ
Sister - ESFJ
Me - INFP

Maternal Grandfather - ISTJ
Maternal Grandmother - ESTJ
Paternal Grandfather - ESTJ
Paternal Grandmother - ISTJ

And a guess at the others:

Paternal Uncle - ISTJ
Paternal Uncle - ESFJ
Paternal Uncle - ESFJ
Maternal Aunt - ESTJ
Maternal Aunt- ISTJ

Are you feeling my situation here?

 

[OrangeAppled]

Are you feeling my situation here?

Ouch!
haha


--------------

Me: INFP
My dad: ENTP
My mom: ISFJ
My sister: ESFP

And I'll include my step-dad: IxFP
I'm leaning towards S with him.

 

[Verfremdungseffekt]

Oh dear. I don't know where to begin typing my family members. Except for my mother.

This goes into territory I prefer not to explore. This may be constructive, though.

Type: INTP
Mother's type: INFP. A very unhealthy one.
Father's type: ENFP, maybe? A very unhealthy one.
Elder sister's type: ESTJ?

As far as extended family goes -- I really do not know these people, but I'll do my best.

Paternal grandmother: ESFJ? (a very unhealthy one)
Paternal grandfather: INTJ? (deceased)
Maternal grandmother: ISFP? (a very unhealthy one) (deceased)
Maternal grandfather: INTJ? (deceased)
Maternal uncle: ISFP?

I think that's it.
