Which Personality Type Is Best Suited For You In A Husband, Based On Your Myers-Briggs Test

Unlike astrology, there is science and research behind Myers-Briggs personality types, and some personality types are more compatible with each other than others. Here is a list of the best match for all 16 Myers-Briggs personality types.

Quick disclaimer: This list is meant to be fun. Personality breakdowns are not an exact science and you shouldn’t dump your boyfriend because your personality types aren’t 100% compatible. What makes your relationship work is more than just your personality.

ESFJ Match: ISTP

ESFJs are very reliable and sentimental girlfriends and wives, but they often need constant reassurance and someone who will push them to be their best selves. Since the ISTP man is both kind-hearted and logical, he’s the perfect match for the ESFJ woman, able to offer encouragement and reassurance.

ISFJ Match: ESFP

ISFJs are known as nurturers, but are very shy and tend to avoid conflict and criticism at all costs. ISFJ women need a man who is strong, outgoing, and knows how to nurture the ISFJ’s kind heart. ISFJ women can also help balance out the ESFP’s tendency to be impulsive, making this pair the perfect match.

ESTJ Match: ESFJ

ESTJ women are known for being reliable, organized, and smart (hence why Monica from Friends is the perfect example of an ESTJ) and need a man who will match their sensible energy. An ESFJ man is a great match for an ESTJ woman – the similarities in their personalities suggest they’re more likely to have the same interests and values.

ISTJ Match: ESTP

ISTJs are loyal and kind but can also be stubborn. The fun-loving and action-oriented ESTP man will be just as loyal and will perfectly balance out the ISTJ woman’s stubbornness. Both will not only bring out the best in each other but will encourage each other to become the best versions of themselves.

ENTJ Match: ENFJ

The ENTJ woman is the perfect leader but has a soft side beneath her tough exterior. An ENFJ man is empathetic enough to bring out her soft side but is also outgoing and loyal, making him the perfect match for her extroverted personality. Possibly the most fun pairing on this list, you’ll want this couple in your circle for either a night out or a laid-back barbecue.

INTJ Match: ESTJ

INTJs are often as introverted as they come, so marrying an extrovert is a great way to help the INTJ woman open up. An ESTJ man is just as smart as the INTJ woman, but will also be dependable and will balance out their respective introverted and extroverted energies.

ENTP Match: ENFP

The ENTP is very extroverted and pairs well with fellow extroverts. The ENTP woman can be both passionate and argumentative, and the ENFP man matches her passions and can help her understand others when she’s at her most argumentative. This couple works best when they are passionate about the same things, often making them the ultimate power couple.

INTP Match: ENTJ

Possibly the smartest of the 16 personalities, INTPs often put logic above all else and have a hard time trusting others. The ENTJ man is both direct and loyal, helping the INTP woman open up and have a trusting and communicative relationship. The ENTJs optimism is also the perfect match for the INTP’s tendency to be pessimistic, meaning both husband and wife can level each other out.

ESTP Match: ESTJ

The ESTP woman is a charming go-getter, but she can often get bored easily or be a little impulsive. The ESTJ man is as charming and bold as she is but is also much more sensible. With similar personalities and opposite traits that complement each other, it’s hard to go wrong in this match.

ISTP Match: ENTJ

The ISTP is smart and confident but can have a hard time expressing emotions. An ENTJ man is a great leader and good at reading others, helping the ISTP woman confidently express her emotions. Though these two personalities appear to be opposite, they have more in common than meets the eye and can accomplish a lot when they come together.

ESFP Match: ISFP

ESFPs are friendly, creative, and outgoing, but their greatest weakness can be impulsivity. ISFPs share the ESFP’s creative soul, and their more cautious demeanor and sense of loyalty make them the perfect match for the ESFP. An ISFP man will help balance out your weaknesses, providing the perfect example of masculine-feminine polarity.

ISFP Match: ISFJ

Known to be both creative and passionate, the ISFP woman is loyal and unafraid to be herself. An ISFJ man is also passionate, friendly, and has a lot in common with the ISFP woman, which comes in handy since both personality types like to be around those who are similar to them. This pair not only makes a great couple but are also well suited to be lifelong best friends.

ENFP Match: INTJ

The ENFP woman is often caring and loyal to a fault, meaning she needs a man who is both loyal and a good listener. The INTJ man possesses both of these qualities and is incredibly smart and understanding, making this couple one of the strongest on this list when they’re at their best.

INFP Match: INFJ

Known for her idealism and kindness, it’s safe to say that the INFP woman has a heart of gold. The INFJ man not only has plenty in common with the INFP woman, but they both value interpersonal relationships above everything else. Possibly the most loving couple on this list, they’re likely the type of couple that everyone wants to be around because they’re both so warm.

ENFJ Match: INFP

ENFJs are both loyal and get along with most people, and the ENFJ woman needs a man who will love her as much as she loves him. The INFP man is not only loving but also balances out the ENFJ’s stubborn nature. Possibly the most ride-or-die couple on this list, this pair can weather the toughest storms and come out stronger than ever.

INFJ Match: ENFP

Kind-hearted, loyal, and reserved, the INFJ woman needs a man who is both loyal and will help her open up. The ENFP man will not only help her come out of her shell but is as passionate as she is. This is another couple that works best when they share common interests, as they become stronger when their passions unite.
