What’s My Ideal Romantic Personality Type Match?

Personality type can play a major role in understanding oneself and others, which can affect courtship and relationships profoundly. But let’s get this out of the way up front: no one is an ideal match for you based solely on their personality type.

Personality types are large groups, and there are too many variables within each group to assure romantic compatibility between them. Individuals of the same personality type may find very different things attractive. Love often springs from what someone else brings into your life, and since all personality types have something wonderful to offer, romantic compatibility is widely possible among them.

People combine in complex ways. We explain how different personalities are likely to interact, including romantically, in our Premium Profiles. Understanding the behavioral tendencies of personality types offers great insight into individual relationships. Yet everyone is unique, and to properly assess compatibility, people must discover each other’s characteristics that aren’t revealed by our personality test. (Our Relationship Tools & Assessments can help with that, though.)

Knowing someone’s personality type doesn’t indicate where they are in life or their romantic relationship goals. For example, one reserved Introvert might be happiest with a similarly Introverted partner if their goal is to reinforce the lifestyle that they have. Some people feel great kinship, understanding, and security with those who are like them.

Yet another quiet Introvert might prefer being with an Extraverted, outgoing partner if they want to add diverse elements to their lifestyle that counterbalance their own nature. Some people enjoy the spark that contrast can bring to a romantic relationship.

Learning about personality types is an excellent way to understand people, connect, and have more joyful and fulfilling romantic relationships. We offer personality-related guidance to aid that goal, but whether you and any given person are a good match depends on your respective preferences and choices. Love is an adventure, and we are pleased to help you figure out what’s right for you – but it isn’t up to us to say what that is.

Mediator (INFP-T)

Facts. As an INFP (introverted) I'm always asking myself wheter i'd like to be with someone introverted (like me) or extraverted. I don't like to go to crowded places or to lousy events, but at the same time i think that an extraverted could help me find some new interests and hobbies that i could never find if i were with an introverted, they would probably help me come out of my "comfort zone" and it may help me see the world with different eyes. Love is a big question mark for me, but i'm not hopeless, i'll wait for the "right person" to come!

Adventurer (ISFP-T)

Most of my friends have an introvert personality type, I understand them and try to accommodate them however they are comfortable. I enjoy seeing my introvert friends forming close friendships with other introvert friends.

Me as an INFJ, I also find this relatable. sometimes I feel like I'm attracted to extroverted people like they as so fun to spend time with but at the same time I think quite people may be more comfortable

Advocate (INFJ-A)

I'm an INFJ (male) but am not particularly introverted (40%). I had a one-year relationship with a female (ENFJ) who was a tiny bit older. She had 90% extroversion and was already full-time working, whilst I was still studying. This dynamic resulted in a relationship which felt like a long adventure of 5x the actual duration we were together. When I was living it, it felt great! This was in part because I am curious in nature and very high in openness. However, when we separated and I received more free/alone time I realized just how tired I had become. I don't regret the relationship, it was great! But I had to bend my personality just to keep up with her daily life (and vice versa in a sense). Always remember that whilst choosing a partner which can get you out of your comfortzone can be a good thing, you might not want to spent all your time there as constantly keeping yourself on your toes can become tiresome. However, truth be told, I am under the impression that I actually became more extroverted in temperament as a result of said relationship, but I could never be at her level. All in all: Date the person you want to become (or admire) and you will see soon enough whether you are compatible or not, if not, you will have learned from it!
