Dual (One or more preferences that fall in the middle):
The ENTP/ENFP combination will most likely be able to work well with dealing and managing their emotions if they are in a healthy place in their life. They will also enjoy a wider range of activities and hobbies. The ENTP and ENFP is a unique combination because they are more emotionally present in their relationships and are able to connect with others who disagree with them in general.
The ENTP/ESTP combination is likely to display more black and white thinking on subjects and will go back and forth between wanting to be traditional and taking a different approach. An example would include asking their partner to send a nude picture and within the same conversation ask if they are planning on going to church the next day, talking about the importance church attendance. The ENTP/ESTP will struggle with paying attention to other people’s emotional responses and reactions, an example includes emailing or texting someone to see how they’re doing (that’s a positive) yet at the end of the conversation assuming they’re doing well when they have not mentioned at all how they’re doing. Again this goes back to maturity and being more observant.
