This article will describe two types of relationships - Huxley (ENFP in MBTI) and Balzac (INTP in MBTI). Socionics and MBTI use almost the same personality model and the same types, so the article is relevant for both typologies. Functions and types in these typologies differ from each other only in names. Because Balzac and Huxley are somewhat similar people.
All NP personality types use Extraverted Intuition (CHI, Ne) as well as Introverted Intuition (BI, Si) as part of their reality filter. Therefore, the personality types ENTP (Don Quixote), ENFP (Huxley), INTP (Balzac) and INFP (Yesenin) are likely to have some degree of similarity and relationship compatibility. Such compatibility can extend both to their communication and to their lifestyle. The relationship between Huxley and Balzac is considered to be very harmonious.
ENTP, ENFP, INTP, INFP: connection in a relationship,similarities and differences
To the reader that all carriers of intuition in the position of the basic function will be called intuitions or NPs (NP, according to MBTI) in this article for brevity. As intuitive types, all NPs gravitate towards more abstract forms of communication. Namely, they like to discuss ideas, not just specific, everyday events. As I have said elsewhere, the Ne types use their Intuition in a wider and more varied way than the Ni types. NPs love to jump from one idea to another, creating broad, even random, connections in a pool of disparate ideas. Especially when interacting with other NP types, this can happen at breakneck speed, often leaving non-NP types feeling lost, confused, or exhausted. For IRs, however, interacting with other IRs can be exciting, generating a strong sense of intellectual kinship and mutual understanding. According to the theory of socionics, Balzac and Huxley are not the worst relationship.
NPs are also similar in their desire to take in new ideas from outside through their Ne. Most IRs love to read, which is one way to communicate with them (in this case, the writer). Therefore, when two IRs are in a relationship, they usually enjoy discussing new ideas they have gleaned from print or other media. This can be a great way to connect with each other on the idea forum.
Union of two intuitives
Because ENTP and INTP have the same psychological functions, the feeling of intellectual kinship can be verystrong. The same applies to the INFP-ENFP relationship. At some point, however, feelings of boredom can creep into the relationship if the other's thinking starts to become too predictable as a result of typological redundancy. This can be of particular importance to INTPs and INFPs, who require a lot of motivation to leave their inner sanctum in order to connect with others. In other words, there may be such a thing as too much typological similarity in a relationship.
ENTP, ENFP, INTP, INFP: lifestyle compatibility
In addition to similarities in thinking and communication, NPs often exhibit similar life preferences. As we have said elsewhere, Xi is conservative about money and the material world. This tends to be amplified in introverts, making INTPs and INFPs even more financially conservative than ENTPs or ENFPs. In general, however, all NPs can find satisfaction with relatively meager living conditions. Most, for example, may well use former furniture. As bricoleurs, they often like to use their Ne to find creative ways to use pre-existing Si products or materials. Consequently, IR couples can often enjoy financial compatibility with relatively little effort.
More than other types, Intuitives show closeness to the natural world. Many enjoy hiking, camping, or doing other activities that allow them to “connect with nature.” Such common interests can be another excellent forum for rapprochement withNP. NJ types, on the other hand, tend to be much less excited about "roughing" than NP.
In light of the above, there is good reason to believe that two types of NP, especially those who are in the process of developing their personality type, can have strong relationship compatibility.
What is he - Huxley (ENFP)?
ENFP is caring, creative, fast and impulsive, inspired by the possibilities that life can bring. They love to develop new ways of doing things and bring a completely unique and fresh perspective to people and situations. People-oriented, fresh and spontaneous, they will take things with energy and enthusiasm, but may not follow through or go into detail as their focus is on "what's next?" The relationship between Huxley and Balzac is, to a certain extent, a union of two opposites.
Which is Balzac (INTP)?
INTP is deep, private, difficult to understand and extremely independent. They focus on the things that interest them the most, putting off tasks until the last minute as the routine tires them out. INTPs love logic, and an indicator that INTPs are obsessed with logical correctness. INTP will struggle with emotions, good at reading situations but less good at reading people. Compatibility of Balzac and Huxley is very high.
We all bring something different to the team and we all agree that difference and balance are good things. However, if someone is different from us, we may not understand them as well, so in this section we will let you compare differences at work, how they can manifest themselves, and how best to manage them. The love of Balzac and Huxley is a passionate adventure!
Warmth, peace and friendliness
ENFPs show a warm, genuine interest in others, can read people well, and will be a catalyst for new initiatives and creative problem solving. They will bring a radical look to the team. According to the theory and practice of socionics, the relationship between Balzac and Huxley is good as a mutual complement in logic and ethics, which will be discussed below.
Despite their calmness, INTP will come to the fore when analyzing problems and evaluating ideas, using their excellent judgment and serious, unemotional nature to ensure the team makes informed decisions.
ENFPs are so insightful and people-oriented that they will be caring leaders, genuinely interested in those who care about them. They may not be good enough to deliver bad news or create systems and processes.
Mutual expectations
INTP need others to be active and not come to them with questions. They like arguments and actions that need to be well thought out, and they will thrive on them.
ENFPs don't like bureaucracy or rules and regulations, and they will eloquently defend their cause. They are fast and agile, work with short bursts of energy and need flexibility. Balzac and Huxley complement each other in this regard.
INTP doesn't fit into the typical structure. They value independence, thought and action, and they need their own space: to think, to be free from other people, to work in short bursts of energy.
ENFPs need variety, stimulus and being surrounded by people. Individual tasks, goals, repetition, formal structures or hierarchies are not appropriate as they work best in a flexible workplace where relationships are valued.
INTP doesn't like too much detail, preferring a broad brushstroke approach. The simple, the obvious bores them, and everything they consider trivial or unimportant will be discarded.
ENFP is creative, fast and impulsive. They excel at developing new ways of doing things and provide a completely unique and fresh perspective on people, projects and situations.
Criticality and love of life
If it suits their interests, INTP's high critical thinking ability and their astute judgment means they can analyze and consider even the most difficult problems and get to the bottom of what needs to be done.
Some people seek harmony, others see conflict as just active discussions, some people are emotional, some are more factual. So there is nothing right or wrong about this and we are trying to help two different people understand how the other can handle conflict and what that will mean for their work together.
ENFP dislikes conflict and will be at the forefront of activities that bring peace and understanding. Warm, affectionate and embarrassing spontaneous people will love andtrust ENFP.
Rational argument, logic and intelligent theory are the paths to the "heart" of an INTP who will have no problem making a difficult decision if it is the "right" decision based on logic and evidence.
Care and comfort
ENFPs are very caring by nature and don't like to see what they see as unfair or unfair. However, their style is to bring it all together in harmony, not to fight.
INTPs are relatively easy as long as something doesn't break the principle. Then they can become outspoken, inflexible and unintelligent, going from reserved to actually enjoying the hot drama. The love relationship between Huxley and Balzac is all about care, warmth and comfort.
Because ENFPs are comfortable with emotions, they use emotional vocabulary well and are tactile, and people tend to open up to them, and this allows conflict to be resolved amicably.
Dumb and by the way, INTP rarely lets her emotions get in the way and uses logic and data to make her point. Those who are more emotional may find them a little cold and harsh at times like this.
For ENFP it will depend on whether the conflict was resolved and whether everyone was happy or whether the upset person lived through it. Precisely because they don't like conflict, they are great at spreading it.
Compatibility of logic and ethics
Because they are deeper and more secluded, the Balzacs will happily discuss everything in the world, using all theirintellectual and logical ability, before returning to their own world, do not offend, do not experience any feelings, it was a chat.
We all have different motivators, values and world views, partly driven by our personalities. The section below describes how each person can interact with others and how they can be seen by others.
Optimistic and hopeful, outgoing and cheerful nature of ENFP belies a more sensitive soul who can take criticism to heart and needs to be loved. They are sociable, cheerful and genuinely love people.
Union of mind and heart
INTP is a very independent, thoughtful and aloof type, but at times can seem completely outspoken due to his directness of communication and economy of words, speaking only when he has something to say.
ENFPs are emotional people who tend to be at the center of the drama. Their genuine caring nature means they will make sure the mood stays bright, everyone feels valued, and ideas come to fruition. Balzac's sex with Huxley will be passionate and rich, but slightly awkward due to weak sensory in both types.
INTPs find emotions difficult because they are logical, analytical and objective at heart, and they don't have time for anything they consider "fantastic". They will not be motivated by someone who says "please" or emotional pleas.
ENFP will wear his heart on his sleeve and will have no trouble opening it. However, their meanings are so important, and they are internal, that it is possible to inadvertently corrupt the ENFP. The friendship of Balzac and Huxley is a very common phenomenon.
INTP will find it difficult to share their feelings, although they will be open and forthright about their thoughts. In moments of purposeful concentration, the INTP will appear aloof and aloof.
Critic and innovator
ENFP can't help but see the opportunity. Future-oriented, they will look far beyond the obvious, often seen things that others cannot, driven by the new, challenging, interesting and caring for people.
At first, it's hard to understand that INTPs are wary of getting intimately emotionally involved, as emotions tend to go a little outside of their own living space, and if someone gets too close, they close up.
Extroversion and introversion
Extroverts and introverts may have some problems: one wants the other to discover more, and the other wants the other to give time to be alone. However, they can also be good to balance each other out, allowing the extrovert to feel more comfortable with introspection and have the introvert have someone to encourage them to socialize and try new things more often.
The INTP type prefers introversion over extroversion. INTP tends to be in their head and will think things through. They have an internal logical structure of the world, and they prefer to draw conclusionsyourself.
ENFP prefers extraversion over introversion. ENFP is energized by people and opportunities. ENFP sees the world as "what could be" and wants to explore and change the world in one way or another.
White and black intuition
Two Intuitives will get along well. They both see the world in an abstract and possible way, which can lead to an engaging conversation. However, they may have trouble performing day to day duties and responsibilities.
The INTP type prefers intuition over perception (using white intuition). INTP seeks to see the world in the abstract in terms of potentiality and "maybe" as opposed to concrete facts, places, and things.
The ENFP type also favors intuition over perception (using extraverted, ie black intuition). ENFP seeks to see the world in the abstract in terms of potentiality and "maybe" as opposed to concrete facts, places, and things.
White ethics and black logic
Balzac and Huxley can do a lot for the interesting dynamics of their relationship. The thinker can help sort out logical problems, but may seem rude. The feeler may help the thinker to better understand their emotions, but may seem too emotional and frivolous for the thinker. However, both of these types can provide a very he althy balance. Balzac and Huxley are a good couple.
INTP favors thought preference over feeling preference (using introverted thinking). INTP prefers to see the world usinglogic, systems and ethical justice. INTP wants things to make logical sense and wants to make sense. Therefore, the feelings of Balzac / Huxley will manifest themselves in different ways: one thinks more with his head, and the other - more with his heart.
ENFP prefers to feel thinking (using introverted feeling). The ENFP has a rich inner world of morals, feelings and ideals that he seeks to better understand. ENFP is committed to using this internal leadership as a force to help shape the future of the world.
Confrontation by intuition
The two perceivers will probably want to go with the flow. They can leave things open until the last moment and just accept things as they come. This can lead to procrastination and lack of initiative to actually hang out. However, these relationships tend to be under low pressure and tend to have lower levels of conflict.
