This equality is in stark contrast to the SP-NT and NT-SP pairing. It appears that Artisans are
delighted with Rationals, but Rationals are ambivalent about Artisans and Sensors in general. The
Guardians, for their part, are just not too satisfied with either Rationals or Idealists, but really go for
other Sensors. It would seem that for Rationals, Idealists generally make the most satisfying
temperament pairing.
One further thing that should be noted is that Rationals reported a narrow range of satisfaction
compared to other types.
• Rationals: 52% - 65% (13 percentage points of difference)
• Artisans: 52% - 73% (21 percentage points of difference)
• Guardians: 58% to 79% (21 percentage points of difference)
• Idealists: 46% - 73% (27 percentage points of difference)
Compared to other types, the Rationals don’t seem to have much to lose if they make a random
choice.
Tieger and Barron-Tieger also examined how the T/F and J/P differences can affect relationship
satisfaction. The top four most satisfied pairings were as follows:
• TJ – TJ 74% satisfied
• FJ – FJ 72% satisfied
• TJ – TP 71% satisfied
• FP – FP 70% satisfied
The four least satisfied pairings were the following:
• FJ – TJ 58% satisfied
• TP – SJ 55% satisfied
• TJ – FJ 49% satisfied
• TP – TP 56% satisfied
What Do INTJs Want in a Relationship?
Tieger and Barron-Tieger (2000) ranked the relationship values of each type, including both what
the type saw as important and what they did not see as important. For the INTJs, the self-reported
characteristics that were seen as most important included:
1. Fidelity 82
2. Mutual support
3. Mutual commitment
4. Intellectual stimulation
5. Being listened to
6. Shared values
7. Having fun together
The less important characteristics were:
1. Shared religious beliefs
2. Security
3. Financial security
82 73% of INTJs saw this as being "most important" to a relationship.
