Opposites don’t attract – ENFP vs ISTJ

Do opposites attract in the MBTI?

Opposites DO NOT attract in the MBTI. The lifestyle of an ENFP and ISTJ is very different and so are their attitudes and values. As you can tell on this picture, ISTJs and ENFPs are almost polar opposites of one another. In terms of interests and hobbies these types have little in common.

However, because of their opposites, there is something I would like to call the compensating factor. This is a really interesting factor and creates a pretty cool dynamic between these two types.

The Compensating Factor

It is said that for every action, there is an equal counter-reaction. This is true for an ISTJ and ENFP.
