Common letters amongst friends?

Most of my friends are extraverted, and intuitive, and pretty much all of them are judgers.

The common function that seems to be shared between me, and most of them, is Fe. A lot of my attunement to this function was enabled by those friends, namely the ESFJ, ENFJ and INFJ, with whom I lived with for 3+ years, during undergrad university.

My closest friends:

ESFx
ESFJ
ENFJ
INFJ
ENTJ
INTJ

It's interesting, as I think I attract, and am attracted to, judgers more than perceivers.

I'd say there's a lot of Ns in my group, very few Ss. Is are very slightly more common with me, Ps also probably a little more common than Js. Fs and Ts even split.

From what I've noticed, N usually associate with other Ns, and Ss associate with other Ss.

my girlfriend and closest friends are all ESFPs

they like to go out a lot like I do, share my interest in sports, and balance out my NT, other ENTPs irritate me to no end

Shucks in the real world I don't choose my friends rather it seems like they choose me. On the other hand maybe I choose them by not pushing them away hard enough.

mostly ESTPs
ISTJ
ESFJ
ISFJ
ENFP
and undiagnosed
Need more Ne/Ni in my life because the S doms are killing me. Maybe thats why I come here.

S, E & F in real life. I have a LOT of ESFPs in my life.
I'd love to have more N friends, as they've always been my closest friendships. When I do meet other Ns, they tend to be men.

most of my close friends are N's, and most are NF or NT. there are a lot of P's in my social circle, though i also tend to get on well with xNFJ's, and sometimes the odd INTJ will accept me :cheese:

i have one good ESFP friend, which is plenty! energy enough for an army of SP's there...

i have never been very close with an SJ my own age (or many SJ's in general), but i have one older ISFJ female friend who is totally awesome. i suspect as i grow older i might make more SJ friends, though xSTJ's and i seem to always have this weird interaction i'm still trying to figure out.

I'm wondering which letter of your personality type is shared most amongst your friends. I'm INFJ, and I've found that almost all of my friends are also I, many are N, but T/F J/P are all split evenly.

Or do you find that most of your friends share a common letter that is different from your own?

Take a sample of, say, 8 close friends and let me know what you find. Thanks!
The VAST majority of my friends are T. Beyond that most are P (Most Js are too rigid for me), but I do have more than a few J friends. I recently made the assessment and I was surprised by how many of my friends are S (my best friend is ESTP), although generally speaking I tend to be closer to my N friends.
