I am sort of ok with surprises but it VERY much depends on how they are presented. For example, I know a co-worker that won a big award, trip, bonus..that sort of thing. Her supervisor called and said she was to come to a meeting with another superior. This poor woman spent most of the day thinking she was in trouble. Apparently this was their idea of an acceptable buildup to a great surprise. In a case like this it would take every bit of willpower I could summon to not to punch all responsible parties in the mouth. I felt bad for her and she found very little joy in the awards because of the way they were presented.
My ENFJ is very good at remembering things I have mentioned from months back that I might like. I think he keeps a list somewhere and refers back to it for birthdays and Christmas. Getting something I suggested would not ruin the surprise for me in the least.I like to rock n' roll all night and *part* of every day. I usually have errands... I can only rock from like 1-3.

Problem: If I want it I already have it. Therefore it has sentimental or practical value I have it. The best idea: present me a gift which I am unaware of but that I can enjoy. If it is a romantic gift, do something with me that interests me and which interests you; but generally don't make it something that requires lots of socialization. I have liked such things as this in the past: Racing cars, going to eat somewhere nice, shared massages. Things I have disliked: 'Romantic' going to gigs, 'romantic' spending time with friends etc. You get the idea, or maybe not.
ISTJ
Similarities - Kindered spirits in modes of thought, like structure are stable and if they share your interests then you can't lose.
Differences - Can get offended by the shifting nature of my existence, I can spotaneously move for work etc. This is anathema to them, you are rocking their boat of life.
ENTJ
Similarities - Lots of similarities, same ways of thinking and reacting. I find their honesty and directness refereshing.
Differences - Less content than we are. However they are very single minded. I don't know left here except Jaguar who I class as ENTJ as the ENTJs I know in the real world.
INFJ
Similarities - Not very much at all; as an ILI-Te I jive best with IEI-Fe types because we can find common benchmarks
Differences - Lots and lots, totally different values and ways of spending their time and how they think about problems. I would say these are very alien to me.
INTP
Similarities - Likes similar 'ideas' but thinks of them differently.
Differences - Lots and lots again. May appear superficially similar but on the inside its an alien who is offended at even the slightest questioning of the 'why' they do things. They don't bear much introspection.

ENP's are the only types that have ever made me feel like a sensor.

Interesting. Thanks! This was obviously Jonnyboy's original question, but it's interesting to hear your guys' perspective.
I could see that.

They don't bear much introspection.I'm thinking about your observation that we don't bear much introspection. If anything, I've always been accused of being "too deep", too introspective, overthinking my own actions, overanalyzing my methods, etc. This is literally the first time I've heard this. We are stubborn, that's for darn sure. Maybe it's, just like you said, that we don't like it from others (in regards to our actions). Maybe we like to think/analyze about ourselves, but we don't like others doing it to us. Hmmm, yeah, that could be. *ponders how to change this for the better*.

Well for one, in my experience, ISTJ and INTJ are the least similar of all the above mentioned. ISTJs are more rigid and INTJs more open, less serious. They approach the world completely differently, see situations differently, and have completely different motivations behind their actions. ISTJs remind me of regulators, while INTJs are a lot more easy going and less concerned with what SHOULD be.
I cant imagine them feeling a strong kinship toward each other since they are both Te users heading in very different directions.

All of the above
I can stand them on the surface.
The reason you jive well with INFPs is because of the Fi-Ti which is a similar 'way' of seeing the ego position while you share an Ne parent so you interface the same way.
By contrast an INFJ/INTJ flip is sharing the same ego but 'interfacing' wrong by trying to talk Fe versus Te. Therefore the thoughts can be similar but what interests us and how we view the world can be very different.
