16-Type Compatibility Chart
Compare two four-letter personality types (like INFJ and ENFP): a match rating from cognitive-function stacks, what you share, where you differ and a 16 × 16 chart.
Score: same N/S +2, same T/F +1, different E/I +1, mirrored dominant function +1, shared dominant +1, shared auxiliary +1, no letter in common −1 (kept between 0 and 5); a pair of the same type counts as 3.

Curious how two personality types get along? Pick two of the 16 four-letter types — your own and a partner’s, friend’s or colleague’s — and this chart rates the pair using the cognitive-function stacks that type enthusiasts use (Ni, Fe, Ti, Se …). You get a rating from Challenging to Excellent, what the two types share, where they are likely to rub, and a full 16 × 16 chart. The four-letter types are those made popular by the Myers-Briggs® questionnaire; this page is independent and uses one simple, published rule of thumb.
How to use this tool
- Choose the first type — take the free 16-type personality test if you do not know it.
- Choose the second type.
- Read the rating, the score and the reasons it is built from.
- Use the shared strengths and possible clashes as conversation starters, and the chart to compare other pairs.
Formula
Score = 2·[same N/S] + [same T/F] + [different E/I] + [mirrored dominant] + [shared dominant] + [shared auxiliary] − [no letter shared]
Each bracket is 1 when true and 0 otherwise; the result is kept between 0 and 5, and two people of the same type score 3. Sharing the middle letters gets the most weight because many type writers see a shared way of taking in information and deciding as the basis of easy communication. A “mirrored” dominant means the same function with opposite attitude, such as Ni and Ne — the pairing behind the popular “golden pair” idea.
Example
INFJ (Ni-Fe-Ti-Se) and ENFP (Ne-Fi-Te-Si) share N and F (+2 +1), differ on E/I (+1) and lead with mirrored intuition, Ni and Ne (+1): 5, Excellent. INFJ and ESTP share no letters: only the E/I balance counts (+1), minus 1 for having nothing in common, so 0, Challenging — which says more about different styles than about whether two real people can be happy together.
Frequently asked questions
Which type is the best match for me?
In this chart, the types that share your middle two letters and have the opposite E/I score highest — for an INFJ that is ENFP; for an ISTJ, ESTP. But real compatibility depends on values, respect and communication far more than on four letters.
Is this the official MBTI® compatibility?
No. The official assessment does not rate pairs of types as good or bad matches. This is an independent page using a simple rule of thumb.
What are cognitive functions?
Jung described thinking, feeling, sensing and intuition, each turned outward (e) or inward (i). Type enthusiasts give every four-letter type an order of four such functions — for INFJ: Ni, Fe, Ti, Se — and use it to explain how types interact.
For fun and conversation only: type compatibility is a popular theory, not research-backed — studies find that personality type predicts little about how happy a relationship will be.
