An INTJ and an ENFP... twins. *Are there any other twins out there with interesting, opposing personalities? *

I think I am more convincingly empathetic because of my ENFP twin- I have been forced to constantly reassure her which, over time, has become second nature in my friendships with girls. *But upon self-reflection, I realize throughout my girlfriend relationships I have very shallow concerns for the other. *Although convincing to my friends, my sister remains my biggest emotional critic. *You can imagine my criticisms of her, lack of independence, confidence, attainable ambitions, and her overwhelming need of attention. *The most interesting difference between us is how we give and receive criticism (she dishes it and I eat it up, but never the other away around!)

ps I'm brand new to this board and am very excited about the exchange of ideas! *

Just wondering... Are you identical or fraternal twins?

My father (ISTJ) had an identical twin brother (INTJ)

We actually do not know if we are identical or fraternal- for some strange reason we were not tested at birth and have not sought the answer out since. Do we look alike? you may ask... and that is truely subjective: half the people we know say "yes! sooo identical!" and the other half so "nooooo totally fraternal." I believe we are identical because, even at 25, I'm still confused for Katy by her old classmates whom I have never met!

Indentical Twin Implications: Personality type is completely independent of genetics.

Highly unlikely.

Are there studies on mbti personalities and twins?
