I fall in ENTP sometimes and ENFP so I guess that makes me a ENxP. I bounce back and forth depending on my mood. T's are good at logic and hard cold facts, and F's are good at building connections and empathizing. I can think both logically and creatively.

Good points. Managing day to day life is indeed the bigger and more challenging part of a meaningful, long-term relationship. Thank you for sharing your insights. Hi CT. Good points.

There are two layers in a relationship: 1. In mind/ in heart: Ease of understand each other. There are types that are more "compatible" in terms of how easy they can understand each other message and reasons (or lack of reasons) of decisions. For instance, it is relatively easier for N to understand another N, but not so easy to understand another S. Of course, there are other factors more than just personality types, i.e. social class like rich vs poor, races and culture Chinese vs African, etc. "Ease of understand each other" can provide a good foundation of relationship, but it is not enough for a good relationship. 2. In day to day life: Accepting/ compromising/ adjusting for characters, habits, attitude, ways of life of each others. This is more than the function of personality types. And this is the much BIGGER PART of relationship. It takes years to adjust oneself (mental and ways of life) constantly to be in a good relationship, and such has much more to do with types. An "easy/ compatible" type, itself is not enough. One may find a type that is "compatible", which I believe, that is only "useful" in some ways to make a relationship slightly "easy to maintain". AND those in a good relationship knows, it is simply more than just about an "easy way to maintain" a relationship. This is my 2 cents worth of thought.
