How would an INFJ and INTJ interact?
Typically respectfully, as they’re mostly on the same wavelength. An INTJ is basically part-INFJ, except that part is always hidden deep inside, and they know their INFJ counterparts are like an extrapolated part of themselves they recognize very well, albeit we tend to feel more big-brotherly towards them because being a “feeler” is indeed painful, especially when you can’t defer to logic over it at times (a luxury we INTJ have as a natural cope). INTJ and INFJ are both rare types and share the same sense of being different and often left behind by the world, or just in our own world most of the time.
When these two types are friends they can be very helpful to each other. INTJ will advise INFJ how to deal with something practically and INFJ will remind INTJ of the more nurturing and loving aspects of their nature which is refreshing to them, especially when it comes from someone with similar experience of the world as an information-organizing intuitive. They’re the Yin and Yang of the N type but do not usually clash dramatically at all. If there are any problems, they typically resolve them with space and/or talk. If they decide not to associate they will already know the reasons why and will simply go their own ways without the need for drama.
I have a pair of friends- INTJ husband and INFJ wife- who happen to be the single best couple I have ever seen. Both are off-the-charts brilliant: the INTJ skipped three grades and received a PhD in Philosophy from a prestigious university by the age of 23, while the INFJ is a world-class neurosurgeon.
As a pair, both as partners as well as parents- they are the best pairing I have ever seen.
