Sad-eyed Lady of the Lowlands

The ENFP (f) and ESFJ (m) match is the one that causes the most trouble out of all of them. Not just for the two partners, but for anybody within the explosion zone. That means the Police, Social Services, local publicans, acquaintenaces (friends disappear) and even complete strangers. The ENFP x ISTJ is more peaceful and probably as disastrous for the ENFP. All the NPs will have runaway because of the predominance of male Guards SJ. The ENFPs best match is the INTP but it is unlikely to happen.

Why are these matches disastrous? It is the NF Idealist bit which the SJ Guards do not understand and try to belittle and intimidate the female NF until she loses track of her identity. This is subject of the book "Divided Self" by R D Laing and is mentioned on page 139 of the David Keirsey book. ENFPs can become self conscious, described by the Guards as Space Cadets or mad (really sad) or capricious and even suicidal.

I love your blog... As an ENFP, I find your type insights to be spot on... Particularly interactions with SJ's.Have suffered for years at the hands of blundering SJ idiots. I also think your ISFP insights are quite good. Your descriptions seem incredibly accurate from my own limited experience. Everyone always raves about how creative and sweet they are.... Deceitful, manipulative, users...

I tune in daily hoping for more interesting Glaucus blog additions... You must read constantly, there are always a multitude of informative twists each month ... Great stuff. Thanks!!
