Too alike = too bland?
we jump around theories and type combinations here on MBTI central. let's ask a basic question about MBTI romantic pairing: are types that are too close together boring? for example, i'm an ENFP, and i've noticed that a lot of chicks who i've eyed out are NFP's. i understand that i am drawn to them because of certain similarities. however, as a person with literally no relationship experience, i wonder if these similarities will become bring after a while. from your experience, do you work better with types who are close to you or types who share some similarities but are largely different from you?

I think we could have two people of the same MBTI type who still have many core differences. But as far as someone who is very similar to me.. I don't think they = blandness necessarily but it certainly increases the chances of it, but there is still lots of room for friction.
I appreciate other types.. should they be foolish enough to posses traits I don't. |

For me, getting involved with someone of the same type would be kinda like dating a sibling

Goodness.
 I was with an ISTJ for oh let's just say...a long time. I found that relationship to be very restricting. Especially as far as cleaning and money, and schedules *regurgitates* I found it very tiring, but this is just my experience. I have never been with an INTJ. I am with an INTP now and we compliment each other very nicely. We are very different, yet very much alike.

 .i do find that i agree with keirsey in that i find S and N just clashes too much. acceptable with friends, but i don't think anyone will truly ever 'get me' if they're too S. how do hobbies work in terms of similarities? you think that you need to be interested in similar things? is it easy to drift apart and just 'do your own thing' if they don't? |
