Anyone else have families where everyone is a different type?

**UltraIncredible** · 08-19-2012, 08:52 AM

Dad - ISTJ
Mom - ISFJ
Sister - INFP
Me - INTJ

As one might expect, my dad is hardworking but boring, and kind of a prick. My mom is a total people pleaser / enabler and can be very childish when she gets angry, but she's also sweet and caring. My sister is rather directionless, overemotional, and kind of a bitch. I am the silent, weird, overachiever of the family.

dad - intj
mom - ESFuckingJ
sister - isfp
sister - estp
me - you already know

How does your INTJ dad respond to your wacky shenanigans?

**linstiks** · 08-19-2012, 09:11 AM

dad-estj
mom-isfj
I have three brothers and I'm curious what they are but one wouldn't even tell me what he got...he gets me better than my parents and loathes them so I thought we could be the same but my dad thinks he's an E....my other two brothers are definitely E's I think
Not reallly sure my moms an I because when she took the test she kept saying "now that I'm getting older xyz tires me" but the descriptions fit

your description of your mother sounds a bit like mine and my mom got ISFJ when I had her take it also!

She's really overprotective too.

haha...before my brother moved out he'd always complain about her being irrational and complaining

**SarcasticVlad** · 08-19-2012, 09:42 AM

This is kinda boring, so I will provide you with their biggest flaws as well

Mom - ISFJ (on antidepressants and other behavioral meds, easily offended, whiny and boring)
Sister- ESFP (overly emotional, whiny, has a short fuse, easily influenced by her social circle and she's too damn loud)
Dad - ESTJ (inferiority complex, stubborn to a point where he'll work against his own interest just to avoid admitting a mistake, bad at handling his own finances yet genius at handling everyone else's, drinks a lot)

**Litchee** · 08-19-2012, 09:51 AM

Dad - deceased - difficult to say, I lean towards INFJ
Mom - ESFJ
Sister 1 - ISTJ
Sister 2 - ESTJ
Me - INFP

I'm the last of the family (my sisters were 14 and 15 when I was born) and kind of the oddball freaky dreamer one, especially now that it's just the SJ Army and me
To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.

My Mom is strong, reliable and caring, but she is very set in her ways and nothing can make her bulge. Things have always been rocky between her and the ESTJ, who feels like my Mom is spending too much time helping others and not enough concentrating on her own daughters. Conversations between them tend to go this way:
ESTJ: You always do this and that!
ESFJ: What can I say? It's the way I am!
ESTJ: But it's not the right way. Do it this way. Do it this way. Do it this way. *insensitive rant*
ESFJ: *starts crying*
ESTJ: Great. Now she's crying like a baby.
I get along more easily with my Mom because we find ways to compromise with each other; also, being both Fs, we tend to reconcile quickly and forget about our quarrels after a short while, because our relationship is more important to us than the matters we disagree upon.

The ESTJ kinda scares the hell out of the rest of us, she's so aggressive and self-confident. I'm probably the least scared of all because she goes easier on me. And I'm also the most compliant. The thing is, she has this rock-hard bitchy shell, but she does have a lot of feelings on the inside, which people don't always see or understand.
The ISTJ is awesome. We're quite close. The problem with her though is that she tends to close up and not communicate about her feelings, so it's hard to know when there's a problem. My Mom tends to overprotect her and sadly, she doesn't do much to stop it - which drives the ESTJ crazy because she's always seen as the bad guy, even if what she says is actually true.

**Munglik** · 08-19-2012, 09:55 AM

Mother: ENFJ
Father: INTJ(?)
Brother 1: INTJ
Btorher 2: ESFJ

he facilitates it

although sometimes i suspect he's an intp. disorganized bastard

Moxiie · 08-19-2012, 11:00 AM

Dad - ENTP
Mom - INFP
Sister - ESFP
Sister - ISFJ
Me - ENFP

**scorpiomover** · 08-19-2012, 01:23 PM

Late father - seems INTP, from what I remember. But my intuition is screaming INFP. Don't know why.
Mother - ISTJ.
Older brother - INTJ.
Older sister - INFJ.
Me - INTP.
Younger brother - ENTP.

**Grave** · 08-19-2012, 03:31 PM

Dad - ENFP
Mother - ISFJ
Sister - INFP
Brother - ISTJ
Me - INFJ

**WindUp** · 08-19-2012, 03:32 PM

Me- INfJ
Mom-ISFJ
Dad- ESTP? Definitely ESP
Younger Brother- tested INTP, but I'm doubtful of that (too charming and influential amongst his peers). Definitely a TP.
Youngerer Brother - ESFP
Youngest Brother- iSTJ

Family dynamics are pretty interesting.

ENTP? They can be very charming and very persuasive, especially because they use humour to do so.

**AnnaMolly** · 08-19-2012, 04:26 PM

Mother - ESTJ .. though the above ISFJ picture fits very well, too.

Father - ISFP (not really sure)

Sister 1 - ENTJ
Sister 2 - ENFP
Me - INFP

Both of my sisters aren't very pronounced on the S-N axis, so sometimes it feels like I'm living with 4 Sensors. Fun.

Oh, and:

Grandmother - ESFJ
Grandfather - ISTJ

That was a match made in heaven.
My mother and father on the other hand are a match made in the land of failed marriages.

**FarmlandTension** · 08-19-2012, 04:32 PM

Mam - ISFP (thought it was a J, just double checked)
Dad - ESTJ
Older brother - ENTP
Younger brother - ENFP
Me - INTx

My INTP can be quite charming and influential, when he bothers to do so. My INTJ (Seablue) and I have found it frustrating on occasion

**WindUp** · 08-19-2012, 10:10 PM

Not going to say that INTPs can't be charming, because I have one INTP friend who really is. He just doesn't really care about people/relationships enough to be influential.

To tell you all a little bit more about my brother: He's extremely independent and likes to do everything on his own, the way that he wants to do it. Very rebellious. Has been doing drugs since he was 11-12. Absolutely HATES school, but he does enjoy learning/getting knowledge about topics that interest him (reads a lot of articles on topics that interest him). Very street smart. Has some really unorthodox philosophies/ideas (like that the president can't do anything too bad because the government just won't let him, lol). Thinks no one is above anyone else. Hates people who do. People listen to him and what he has to say. Might be because he's attractive, doesn't give a fuck what others think, and really believes in what he thinks.

**Sramana** · 08-19-2012, 10:27 PM

Mother - INFJ
Father - ESFP

Older brother - ISFJ
Older sister - ESFJ
Me - INxJ
Younger sister 1 - ISFP
Younger sister 2 - ENTJ
Younger sister 3 - ISFJ
Younger sister 4 - INxJ
Younger sister 5 - ESFJ

I know, big family!

**Revenant** · 08-19-2012, 11:14 PM

Dad: ISTJ (Boring, depressive, can be a total prick and goes out with friends maybe twice a year)
Step-Mother: EStJ (Works as a high-ranking executive, literally tries to manage everyone, but is bubbly and caring)
Step-Sister: xSxJ ("Princess". Teenage girl hormonal hell. Could take after her mother if only she could find a sense of direction. Good with fashion, self-centered.)
Step-Brother: eSTp (Runs the local Coastguard unit for a major commercial port at 22 years old, failed all his GCSE school exams. Strong, dependable, forward-thinking).
Step-Brother's Girlfriend: esFj (Works as a paramedic; very warm but also incredibly over-emotional and no finance skill. Oddly enough the only one I get on with).

Me: INTJ (Ice-cold mo' fo'. Rubbish interpersonal skills with friends and family, but can work well with extroverted colleagues and clients at work.)

All that S pretty much kills my creative spirit. We don't act as a family unit and are more like a co-operative than a household. I am emotionally independent and interactions take a lot of personal effort with the exception of my step brother and his girlfriend, who I actually get on well with.

**teraczy** · 08-22-2012, 01:40 AM

there was another family thread, but this one is if all are different?

Mom-ISFJ
Dad-ENTJ
Brother-ISTJ
Me- INTJ
Sister-INFP
Youngest Sister- ESFP

**True Rune** · 08-22-2012, 01:57 AM

My dad and sister are both ISTJs, but are generally intellectually inclined.

**Lilie** · 08-22-2012, 05:20 AM

Mom - ESTJ (only one who has taken the test as far as I know)
Dad - ISFP
Sister - ISTJ
Brother - ESTP

My mother and brother both annoy the shit out of me. I get along well enough with my father and sister.

**Navluc** · 08-22-2012, 05:31 AM

Yes. Not to my advantage unfortunately...

Me - INTJ
Dad - ESTJ
Mom - ENFP
Sister - ESFP
