You and your optimal Christian pair

It obvious that there are different types of personalities within our faith. I am curious, which are you and what type are you optimally looking to marry(G-d grace and discernment willing)? Also would you give a few suggestion to your optimal pair on how to best approch you?

The Basic categories (feel free to modify to fit)

1- Bold; fair to limited degree of social contacts[limit the people around you]; few good friends; top priority in a relationship is commitment and a shared responsible value system; career is based on values; family is structured; Faith is about service in morality.

2 – Gentle; large degree of social contacts[open with people]; many good-close friends/family; top priority in a relationship is the love-bond and affection; career system based on need and interest; family structure is open; faith is about loving one another.

3- Successful; large degree of social contacts; many good friends; top priority in a relationship is openness and support; career system is based on ambition; family structure is flexible, faith is about charity and being ones best.

4- Intrinsic; fair to limited degree of social contacts; quite selective about close friends; top priority in a relationship is attraction and connection; career system based on feelings; family structure is experimental; faith is about using one intrinsic “moral” instinct.

5- Objective; selective about social contact; selective about friends; top priority in a relationship is connection and balance; career system is explorative; family structure dead center; faith is a basic part of functioning.

6- Firey; fair degree of social contacts; selective about close friends; top priority in a relationship is security and commitment; career system is decided; family structure is structured; faith is an expression of self.

7- Blissful; expansive social contact; selective about friends but like to have many; top priority in a relationship is love-bond; career system is flexible; family structure is open; faith is following what is right and good.

8- Confident; fair social contacts; has an inner circle not individual friends; top priority is a relationship is connection and attraction; career system is what is in the best interests of the inner circle[family]; family structure is organic; faith is faith.

9- Graced; lot of social contacts; has a wide variety of friends; top priority in a relationship is stability and peacefulness; career system is flexible; family structure is open; faith is about G-d.

LOL, probably because it is, if your not conformable and still open I’m still curious to the question, so feel free to use whatever description you want.

Btw, I have to ask: you have something against personality types? if so, I would be even more interested to hear why.

Where did you get this list?
Some Enneagram site.

No problem with personality types. I'm ENTJ on the Myers Briggs test if that makes any sense (and it might say something about my previous response, at that ;) ). I mostly just dislike the "Christianese" that makes things palatable in pop Christian culture.

I don't think I fit any of those categories, but on the MBTI I'm an INFP with some J tendencies. (If you go back on that site, there are good descriptions for all the types.)

When it comes to who is the best match, do you go by who will complement your weaknesses or who will share your strengths?

*shrug* I dunno.

As an ENTJ, I'm pretty moderate. I rate very highly "N" but between T and F, I barely register as T. Most of my friends think I'm very high in the T, but for some reason I just don't test that way. I can see that, though, since I really do value peoples' feelings and try to cater accordingly.

Wow, I just read the full long description for my MBTI type (that link I posted earlier gives two descriptions for each type) and check this out, what it said in reference to finding a mate:
"The INFP questor probably has more problems in mating than any other type."

Yikes. Mac's in trouble. :p

Yeah, I looked again, and I don't think I fit any of those categories. Does anybody have a link to a quiz or something where I can see how I score?


As for choosing the right "pair," I don't know... I tend to think that people should choose someone who is similar in disposition to themselves, but that site on the MBTI stuff says that my personality type should choose an opposite... I would have thought that had conflict written all over it (and I'm the conflict-averse type, haha).
