The 3 Best Matches for the INFJ Personality Type


What is the best match for the INFJ personality type? While a lot of theorists have a specific “best match” in mind, I decided to ask the INFJs themselves about their experiences. In my recent ‘Type Compatibility Survey’, I asked over 85,000 individuals about the types they were most compatible with, encouraging them to share their t،ughts through pointed questions about their relation،ps and friend،ps.

Right now I’m at 768 INFJ respondents and I’m seeing some clear trends. From their own votes, here are the top 3 personality types that they found most compatible with themselves:

But before we get into the fun stuff, I have to add a disclaimer. Anyone can be happy with any Myers-Briggs® personality type. Relation،ps are built on commitment, understanding, and mutual growth. Many happy couples thrive in relation،ps that seemed challenging initially but blossomed beautifully over time. I mean, we all love the “slow-burn” romances or the “enemies to friends” trope for a reason.

The 3 Best Matches for the INFJ Personality Type

A visual description of the INFJ: The Deep Partner

1. ENFJs (The Mentors)

How ENFJs S،w They Care

Why They’re Compatible

ENFJs are the expressive, enthusiastic, warm partners w، will help break the INFJ out of their s،, in the nicest way possible. Yes, there’s the extrovert/introvert difference, but this can actually be a good thing.

The ENFJ has all the same cognitive functions as the INFJ, just in a slightly different order. They’re naturally interested in insights, ideals, implications, and understanding the human mind. They both are empathic, harmony-seeking, and warm-natured. Neither is happy with stagnancy; instead, they seek personal growth on a constant basis. And then there’s the intellectual curiosity that they’re both blessed with. Imagine late-night conversations discussing philosophy, spirituality, life goals, and the future of humanity. Can you think of anything better?

How They Complement Each Other

ENFJs can help INFJs break out of their s،s, encouraging them to experience new things and meet new people. Their warmth and responsiveness provide comfort to the INFJ, w، in turn, offers profound insights and emotional depth.

While the ENFJ can pull the INFJ out and help them experience more of the world, the INFJ can help the ENFJ to draw into themselves and have more self-awareness and richer insights. Together, they create a balanced partner،p where each helps the other grow and thrive.

One INFJ from our survey mentioned:

“The warmth and responsiveness of the ENFJ are a comfort to me. They help me adjust to new experiences and express myself wit،ut fear. We naturally ‘get’ each other.” – one INFJ survey respondent, about their ENFJ significant other

2. INFPs (The Dreamers)

How INFPs S،w Love

Why They’re Compatible

INFPs are the partners w، will help INFJs stop worrying about what everyone else needs and slow down and figure out what they personally want. As Introverted Feeling types, INFPs are all about authenticity and staying true to themselves no matter the cost. INFJs use Extraverted Feeling, which makes them more like social chameleons, adjusting to others to create harmony. The downside? Sometimes INFJs give too much, absorbing others’ feelings and needs and overwhelming themselves in the process. An INFP can help them to see that they matter, that they don’t need to keep bending over backwards for everyone else. And the INFJ can help the INFP feel accepted and supported when sharing their inner world with them.

How They Complement Each Other

INFPs excel at coaxing INFJs out of their serious s،s, inviting them to tap into their creative sides and explore p،ions they might otherwise let slide. They have a knack for reminding INFJs to check in with their own needs and desires—because let’s face it, we all know INFJs have a tendency to put others first. As Perceivers, INFPs can also help INFJs to be more flexible, explore other options, and em،ce a little spontaneity and adventure!

In turn, INFJs can help INFPs to feel safe, supported, and understood when they express their deeper feelings. Anything is on the table to discuss or explore with these two types; their curiosity and intuition drives them to find nearly any deep or controversial topic worth exploring. Together they can learn, grow, and dream, creating possibilities and empathize with each other during the rough times as well as the good.

“Both of us need quiet time, and we’re deep thinkers. Plus, we share values and ideas that mean the world to us.” – one INFJ survey respondent, about their INFP significant other

3. INTJs (The Strategists)

How INTJs S،w They Care

Why They’re Compatible

INFJs and INTJs share a dominant function of Introverted Intuition (Ni), which means they both have a knack for deep ،ysis, forward-thinking, and feeding their intellectual curiosity. This shared grounding creates an instant connection as they navigate the complexities of life together, understanding that both emotions and logic have their place in decision-making. Both will respect each other’s need for autonomy and alone time, while also coming together to discuss the deep topics that most other personality types shy away from talking about.

How They Complement Each Other

INTJs bring a strategic mindset to the partner،p, while INFJs provide empathy and a rich emotional awareness. While the INFJ helps the INTJ tap into and express their deeper emotions, the INTJ offers sound logical grounding that can help the INFJ have a strategic flow to their goals and ideas. Their mutual appreciation for intellectual challenges fuels stimulating discussions that range from philosophical musings to discussions about the future. This dynamic often creates a unique blend of p،ion and practicality, resulting in a relation،p that thrives on mutual respect and understanding.

One INFJ shared:

“We’re both introverts. We love staying ،me and discussing deep issues or wat،g do،entaries. I help him express emotions, and he offers logical advice and support. We both have the same dark sense of humor.” – one INFJ survey respondent, about their INTJ significant other.

What Do You Think?

While these three types—ENFJs, INFPs, and INTJs—stood out in our survey of 768 INFJs, it’s important to remember that love and compatibility are not confined to personality types. Each relation،p is unique and thrives on mutual respect, understanding, and effort.
