Find your perfect match.

Of all the Myers-Briggs types, do you know which personality type you are? You could be an ENFJ or an ISTJ — and if you do know what you are, do you know which type is best for you?
The test, known as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, categorizes people into 16 different, four-letter personality types, where each letter represents a preference between two modes of thinking: extroverted (E) versus introverted (I); sensing (S) versus intuitive (N); thinking (T) versus feeling (F); and judging (J) versus perceiving (P).
Now that you know what type you are, how do you figure out what your Myers-Briggs compatibility is and what kind of person should you be dating? The clever folks at Thought Catalog give us the full scoop on the perfect partner for you.
ENFP: date a nerdy, quiet guy
INTJ: go out with an emotionally intense guy
ENTJ date a Bill Nye the Science Guy type
ENTP: get things going with a big-hearted, big-brained guy
ENFJ: inspire an artistic guy
ESTJ: stop overlooking the sensible, selfless guy
INFJ: take off your glasses and see that the smart rebel is the perfect guy for you
ISFP: take a look at the guy you always thought as just a friend as something more
ESTP: date the sweet-as-pie guy
ISTJ: he kind of seems like your opposite, but you should date the always-up-for-any-kind-of-party dude
ISFJ: he's here to save the day, and you need to date him — the superhero
INFP: every artist needs their steady, dependable guy
ISTP: you already know him, as you run in the same crowd. You need to date the sensual, spiritual guy.
INTP: it's no joke; you need to date the funny man
ESFJ: you're practical and you need some romance in your life immediately. Try a romantic guy.
ESFP: it may sound old-fashioned, but you need the strong and silent type.
Sometimes it's a great idea to date outside your comfort zone and try a different type than your usual. Mix things up and surprise yourself.
The perfect date is probably someone you normally wouldn't consider as appropriate. So, take a chance on the soft-hearted brainiac, or the party boy. You never know who you'll end up with.
