Are you an INTJ also known as The Scientist, The Mastermind or The Explorer? Or how about an ISFJ sometimes called The Nuturer? Well, the good news is that they tend to interact pretty well in most situations.
INTJs are natural leaders while ISFJs are natural followers. They make a very good team when it comes to projects or even home life. For example, an INTJ marrying an ISFJ can sometimes work out well because the INTJ will naturally take control. However, keep in mind that the introverted nature of both personalities can cause communication problems.
When an INTJ tells an ISFJ what to do, the ISFJ is likely to comply because it tends to follow. However, be careful when the opposite happens! INTJs normally accept constructive criticism, but sometimes ISFJs can be passive-aggressive.
If you’re an ISFJ looking to get along with an INTJ, just keep in mind that INTJs aren’t trying to be arrogant when they tell you to do something. Also, remember that their lack of caring and focus on knowledge is something that really makes them happy.
For INTJs looking to get along with an ISFJ, make sure you don’t take advantage of them. Just because you CAN tell someone what to do doesn’t mean you SHOULD tell someone what to do. Keep in mind that commanding an ISFJ who is not a subordinate will get them into a lot of trouble. Even if they do what you ask, they may resent you inside their head.
In many cases, INTJs and ISFJs can have communication problems. However, don’t give up. Those awkward silences that so many other personality types hate can be completely normal for an INTJ or ISFJ who have known each other for a long time. Being judgmental and introverted will make both parties much more considerate of their actions. And that’s completely acceptable no matter what other personality types are trying to tell you.
In general, the INTJ and the ISFJ are a good match.
