ENFJ + ISTJ

Each in this coupling shares the (J)udging preference.  They're "adults".  They prefer following through with what they plan to do rather than failing themselves and others.  They both keep a clean home and prefer (and need) organization on all levels. 

Because all other preferences are different - they as people are very different too.  This is either a magical or awful coupling.  Success depends upon the willingness to grow and the maturity of both sides to recognize and enjoy their different styles of seeing the world, solving problems, and communicating with people.

As a power-couple they have synergy; they cover many more bases together than when they're apart.  They also tend to feel a sense of security in knowing that dealing with the world with their partner means having a teammate that's strong where he or she is weak (and vice versa).

Couples with extremely strong preferences for (NF) and (TJ) could have significant difficulty connecting emotionally and intellectually.  They're energized by completely different stimuli.  MatchMachine does not recommend a pairing of extremes for the long haul.
