ENTJ in love

Directors take relationships seriously and are drawn to people who are independent, capable, and honest. They are loyal and generous, and they treat a relationship as a real partnership with shared goals and a shared future.

INTJ in love

Strategists want a partner who is a true equal: honest, curious, and secure enough to respect independence. They are not big on clichéd romance, but they take commitment seriously and think about a relationship as a long-term project worth investing in.
