Just conducting a research here, which mbti type is able to read you like a book? For example, they seemingly understand you without any spoken words needed?

I am INFP, and I think INTJs are pretty good at reading me. In fact, INTJs tend to read me much more accurately than INFJs.

ENFPs on average read me the best.

yupp
the kind that is willing to cut me with a butterfly knife and unfold me and figure out what letters appear on my guts- so INTJ or ENTJ

No one of any type has ever been able to read me like a book.

I've been a complete alien my whole life.

But it's okay. I'm used to it. And I kind of like it this way.

No one really can.

Maybe my best friend INTP can... or another very patient INTP who would take me for a book, for a while...

I have no idea. Probably everybody who talks with me could say I'm extraverted and a feeler. And perceiving. If you knew MBTI. ;)

I have not found any single type that can consistently read me better than the others. TJs over TPs and Fs over Ts, but that's about as far as it goes.

An ISFP is welcome to read me like braille.

Probably. Maybe. My own family members still think I'm an enigma, and my wife can only barely read me because she's spent a decade with me.

Challenge accepted. Someday.

Maybe.

I'm not sure. I'd say I'm fairly transparent and easily read by most.

People can read what they want, just as you can read yourself as you want. What you think you're reading and what is there can often be different, but then again what is there is also difficult to define.

None. Although some project less BS than others.
ExTPs can be better at noting my potential or perceiving my persona than ExFPs, but I bond better with ExFPs. INTJs far and away will grasp me better than INFJs (who really don't begin to comprehend me), but they need a lot of hints and direction to the right interpretation. There's a lot of mutual appreciation with ENFJs, but always some lack in mutual comprehension. I generally have issues with ExxJs. In person, ENFPs project a lot onto me, often reading me negatively at first.
e6s who are Fs are problematic too - too much paranoid projection.

I don't feel complex, but people find it hard to figure me out in person. I'm trying to be less closed, as it creates too much misunderstanding in life. I can even feel like an open book though, and people tell me I'm full of contradiction (to them). I feel so consistent internally (not speaking if moods) that I don't see how they get that impression.
