B- Level Compatibility. A challenging combination. ENTP may feel constrained, and ISTJ may feel uneasy. This is unless you are highly intellectually matched and willing to change for each other.

Mutual Attraction

What ISTJ sees in ENTP

  • Attracted to ENTP's intelligence, knowing everything and daring to speak their mind (a longing stemming from inferior Ne).
  • Find ENTP's mind incredibly quick, capable of thinking of solutions ISTJs wouldn't.
  • ENTP's sense of humor is a welcome remedy for a dry life.

What ENTP sees in ISTJ

  • Attracted to ISTJ's encyclopedic knowledge (Si) and steadfastness.
  • Find ISTJs honest and trustworthy (or easy to tease/provoke).
  • ISTJ's execution power can help ENTP turn their boasts into reality.

Fatal Attraction Moment

ENTP encounters an extremely difficult logical dilemma, and ISTJ calmly quotes sources, providing the standard answer. ENTP is astonished by this 'living database' capability.

Four-Dimensional Compatibility

Active vs. Static Conflict

One is a radio station, the other a radio (but switched off).

Dimension 2

Perception: S (Sensing) Γ— N (Intuition)

Fundamental Opposition

If they collaborate, they can cover all blind spots.
Si (preserving tradition) vs Ne (seeking novelty). This is an irreconcilable conflict. ISTJ finds ENTP unreliable and disruptive. ENTP finds ISTJ rigid, boring, and old-fashioned. They disdain each other's core values.

The biggest divide.

Dimension 3

Judgment: T (Thinking) Γ— T (Thinking)

Ti (Principles) Γ— Te (Rules)

Both can communicate rationally. Neither is overly sensitive.
Different logical systems. ENTP loves to argue and challenge authority and established rules. ISTJ upholds authority and rules. ISTJ: 'That's just the rule.' ENTP: 'Why? That rule is illogical!' ISTJ will find ENTP to be a troublemaker.

Rule Maintainer vs. Rule Breaker.

Dimension 4

Lifestyle: J (Judging) Γ— P (Perceiving)

Control Failure

ISTJ helps ENTP clean up their messes.
ISTJ attempts to control ENTP, who rebels and deliberately causes mischief. The more serious ISTJ gets, the more irreverent ENTP becomes. ISTJ might be internally exasperated.

Cat and Mouse.
