This has probably been touched on in some prior thread, but something dawned on me recently. Since learning about MBTI, I've realized that the people that I have personally experienced the best chemistry with or who I have "connected with" the best are obviously other N-types (mostly NT's with some NF's mixed in), but what I realized recently was that the people I have especially connected with are the 4 types that, like me, exhibit "extroverted intuition" as either their primary or secondary trait (meaning that extroverted intuition is the primary way in which they extrovert themselves). INTP, ENTP, INFP, and ENFP are the 4 types I have had the best connections with, followed by the other 4 N-types.
For those that are well versed in this stuff, is this usually the case? Do you find this to be true as well? Is it because those who extrovert intuition are able to get together and communicate in the same fashion with one another? I wonder if it follows that ENTJ's and INTJ's would experience this same thing - maybe they even "connect" more with ESTJ's and ISTJ's (because of the shared Te) than they do with INTP's/ENTP's.
Questions:
1. Whatever type you are, do you find that your best connections and chemistry are with types that exhibit the same extroverted function as you?
2. To ENTJ's and INTJ's specifically: Do you find that you have a stronger connection/smoother conversation with each other than you do with, say, INTP's and ENTP's? Is our Ne sometimes a little over the top or hard to connect with?
