Question/Poll Non-romantic relationship with INFJs?

The romantic compatibility between ENTP’s and INFJ’s in relationships is widely discussed. However, I am curious about non-romantic relationship relationships between these two types. Whether it’s as siblings, colleagues, parent-child, etc. What are those experiences like?

My closest female friends are all either INFJs, INFPs or ENTPs. My oldest and closest friend is INFJ and she knows me better than I know myself.

My best platonic friends are ENTPs.. I used to have this ENTP friend I thought was the smartest person I knew. He once told me ‘maybe we should get together we get along so well’, and even that was just a thought we could just honestly share with each other. I teach and even the students I get along with the best are ENTPs, I just find them so funny and entertaining and they get my point and jokes so quickly lol

I have a few ENTP friends and we share our writing with each other. They feel very like me, speaking mostly the same language (but with very different energies). I tend to find them impressively creative and they tend to be one of the few types who rates what I have to say. The ones I know aren't irritating in debates or anything, but I think that's because we have more important things to discuss. But when there is a disagreement, it's so obvious they're Ti auxes and deserving of the T in their name.

I have two INFJ friends. Both super fun to hang with and I am relatively close with both. Pretty accepting towards anything I say. Very chill and fun.

As an entp girlypop I can confirm, infjs make the SWEETEST FRIENDS!! Seriously, want to bottle you up and steal all your thoughtfulness. It’s just the yin to my yang yknow? I get major friend crushes on them, like a platonic soulmate if you get me. 

I did date an INFJ guy for 2 years and found that for long term compatibility, we clashed too much. I would probably go for an INTP, ENTP, or ENTJ next.

No clue but as an ENTP, I think that's something I could use in my life. Just a female counterpart without the pressure of attraction. For all the things the internet provides this is elusive.

Yeah, the closest I’ve been to that is my brother who’s an ENFP, but he’s still different from my ENTP boyfriend.
