| Please explain your answer. This will hopefully bring us to analyze whether a supplement or a complement is a better mate and why. |

| There are too many factors to consider. It really depends - what I may find attractive another may find annoying, regardless of type. |

| There is no real answer, it's realy a matter of connecting to the person rather then his personality. But I'd like to have something with another INTP, though. |

| As far as I am concerned, I am all in for INTPs and INTJs. |

| I like INTJs. I find that INTPs are usually apathetic, like me. I think INTJs are better at getting me to actually take action instead of just passively thinking about action. I think an ENTP would be sort of fun, too. |

| I've never actually met another INTP, but I would fear that the relationship would be cold. Every "serious" relationship I have been in has been with an INFP. I also like that INFP's are clingy, and nurturing. |

| Clingy? You like that? Gawd, I can't stand it. At all. How do you tell the person to just go away without them getting all emotional and sobbing, "You told me to go away! It's OVER!" |

| Its a control thing. I find INFPs easy to control. Maybe I should have said attached. And clingy, to my discretion. How many guys do you know that wouldn't want a chick who, wouldn't get off? |

 So true! |

| I'd also have to go with another INTP or an INTJ. An ENTP would be interesting, if they had only a slight or moderate E- too much extraversion drives me nuts. I think an INTJ would be good for the motivation that person would provide, but I think an INTP would be better because the relationship would be detached. Attachment tires me out, and causes unecessary stress. I have a friend who's an INTP, and it isn't a big deal whether she and I got together or not. I like the fact that it's not a big deal. I wouldn't complain either way- I can't lose; neither can she. I'd have to say that having a relationship with someone that's easy to control doesn't appeal to me, though. There shouldn't be any controlling in a relationship because it makes ownership part of the foundation of the relationship. Each person is an individual and has their own things to worry about, especially outside the relationship. This kind of relationship is doomed to failure anyway.

| I have a very close relationship with an INFP... and it's better than anything with any other type (bar INTP, since that hasn't happened). I have a way with feelings that allows me the deal with any issues that the INFP has and yeah... that makes things easy. Personally I find that the more matches between us the more I'm likely to get along, but I can handle any of the F traits most people have. |

Either an INTJ (more likley) or an INTP (less likley, seeing how rare we are). I would prefer not to have anything to do with any F, seeing how badly I deal with that shit (anything illogical, and bang - massive sarcasm and cyncism)  |

| honestly, I have no clue, I haven't had time to read up on some of this stuff as much as some you guys have but the INFP utopmk19 described sounded similar to one girl I was 'sort of' seeing.. but she's an extrovert, so I suppose that would make her an ENFP ? |

Hoorah for sarcasm and cynicism, and crushing the weak, feely ones!  |

| My friends tend to be INTPs or INTJs; it's a trend that's been going since long before I had any intrest in type theory (facilitated by the internet), and my friends are the only people I trust enough to get that close to. I wouldn't have been able to decide between INTP and INTJ, if not for my SO being a J. ;> |
