Myers-Briggs or DISC use?

Hmmmm...

Trouble is, I'm not aware of any data supporting any of these theories. I don't think the issue has been well studied at all.

Still fun to think about, though!!

IMHO, Kiersey's 'opposites attract' theory doesn't hold water. Get the Kiersey book and read the section just about sex for the INFP and the ESTJ. The two will murder each other inside of a month.

I am a very strong iNtuitive. In fact, I max the scale. I don't think I've ever dated an S-type. All of my boyfriends have been other Ns.

My H is an INTP and I am an INFP. I think we're very compatible and get along great. When I have dated other NFs, I have found them overy dramatic and needy/clingy. And gosh darn it, they take everything so personally! OM was an INFJ. No f'ing way. Never again.

Not only was there a P/J conflict, but the duelling Fs made it a drama nightmare.

I have, however, gotten along VERY well with male INTJs. The T takes the drama out of the J/P stuff.

Another thing these models fail to account for is the strong gender and numerical discrepancy among the types.

ESTJs account for about 9-10% of a normal sample and are mostly male.

INFPs account for about 1% of a normal sample and are mostly female.

Ergo, it's going to be extraordinarily difficult to even find enough ESTJ/INFP pairings to study at all, much less with any sort of statistical validity. And if you're looking for a reverse pairing, female ESTJ/male INFP - good luck!

Anyhow, mere anecdotal ramblings.
