What You Are Like On a Blind Date, Based on Your Personality Type
For some people the idea of a blind date feels terrifying and awkward. For others it can be an exciting way to meet someone new. Here is how you would handle a blind date, based on your personality type.
INFJ
For INFJs the idea of doing in a blind date does not feel very exciting or rewarding. INFJs aren’t really fans of the whole dating game, especially if they are being set up with someone they don’t even know. For the INFJ it is important to get to know someone on a deeper level and they don’t want to settle for someone they cannot make a real connection with. While a blind date can result in meeting someone special, for the INFJ it often feels too forced and awkward for them to willingly agree to it. They would rather meet someone more naturally, or in the very least bit risk being in such an exposed situation.
ENFJ
ENFJs often prefer to meet people and make connections on their own, and so a blind date might feel unnatural for them. They might agree to let someone set them up, but it can feel a bit unnerving. ENFJs are outgoing and friendly people and so they can often handle these new social situations fairly well. While ENFJs might be able to navigate a blind date, it can still feel a bit odd for them. They usually meet people just fine on their own, and so a blind date feels forced for them most of the time. ENFJs might agree to this for someone they love, but usually it isn’t something they would want to deal with.
INFP
For INFPs the idea of a blind date probably sounds a bit terrifying and honestly just plain awful. They are capable of making connections and can actually be very friendly people, but being pushed into a blind date will certainly feel awkward for them. INFPs want to be able to meet people they naturally connect with and don’t feel awkward around. A blind date often puts too much pressure and is likely something that sounds really uncomfortable and horrible for the INFP. Being thrown into this type of social situation is definitely not something the INFP is likely to enjoy.
ENFP
ENFPs are social and outgoing people, but that doesn’t mean the idea of a blind date is appealing to them. They prefer to experience things on their own terms, and would rather meet people themselves. For the ENFP it is important to make sincere connections and not just ones which are forced. While they may be uneasy with the idea, ENFPs are charismatic people who will likely be able to make friends with just about anyone. While the blind date might not turn into something romantic, that doesn’t mean the ENFP won’t enjoy making a new friend in the process.
INTJ
INTJs most likely think the idea of a blind date is both illogical and exhausting. They don’t like feeling forced into awkward social situations and are likely to turn down any offers for being set up on a blind date. INTJs want to date people they can be comfortable with and don’t feel forced to engage with. For them it seems like too much of a game of chance to allow someone else to set them up. INTJs don’t often put this much faith in others, so trusting someone enough to willingly let themselves be set up, isn’t likely at all. INTJs are often willing to wait for the right person, instead of feeling the need to become desperate enough for a blind date.
ENTJ
ENTJs don’t usually enjoy being set up, and so blind dates can feel a bit irrational to them. They might agree to this if someone they deeply trust expresses that they know someone the ENTJ would really enjoy getting to know. At the same time this can feel a bit silly to them, since they prefer to meet people on their own terms. ENTJs are outgoing and friendly people, and so they likely will make the date into something enjoyable. They won’t just sit there and be awkward and will do their best to be polite and friendly. While the ENTJ will do their best to make the situation better, blind dates likely don’t make much sense to them.
INTP
INTPs will likely consider the idea of a blind date to be a bit horrifying. They aren’t fans of awkward social situations and a blind date is likely to feel very forced for the INTP. They can feel a bit uncomfortable when they are made to interact with new people, especially if they aren’t really in the mood for it. This can feel like too much pressure for the INTP, with not nearly enough reward. While people might set them up out of caring, the INTP can take this a bit offensively. They would rather find someone they connect with naturally, instead of having to force things this way.
ENTP
ENTPs might not enjoy the idea of a blind date, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t willing to give it a try. They are outgoing people who enjoy experiencing new things, and might take this as a bit of a challenge for them. For the ENTP a blind date can be a good way to explore their options and meet someone they otherwise wouldn’t have. While they might not believe they are going to meet their future spouse this way, it doesn’t mean the ENTP won’t have a good time getting to know someone new.
ISTJ
For the ISTJ the idea of a blind date can feel a bit silly and pointless. They are perfectly happy to wait for the right person to come along, and can feel like being set up is a bit pathetic. ISTJs would rather meet people on their own, since they often know what they are looking for in a partner. They might not easily trust others to know who to set them up with, and so blind dates might feel silly. If the ISTJ does agree to go on a blind date they will be polite and do their best to make the most of getting to know this person.
ESTJ
For the ESTJ the idea of a blind date can feel a little bit like a failure in some ways. They want to be able to meet someone their own way, without needing help from someone else. ESTJs know what they want and they are more than capable of going after it themselves. For them a blind date can feel forced and uncomfortable, and isn’t really something they want. If the ESTJ does agree to go on a blind date they will certainly be friendly and polite, and do their best to make things more comfortable.
ISFJ
ISFJs are likely to feel uncomfortable with the idea of a blind date, but that doesn’t mean they won’t agree to them. If they are having trouble finding the right person they might be more willing to go on a blind date. If the person setting them up is someone they trust then the ISFJ will certainly be more open to the idea. They often want to find someone they can share their lives with, and so they will be more easily convinced because of this desire. When they do go on a blind date the ISFJ will be amiable and do their best to make a connection.
ESFJ
ESFJs are not likely to really be eager to go on a blind date, unless they are sincerely wanting to find someone special and struggling to do so. They deeply want to find someone they can share their lives with, and so not having this can cause them to be more open to being set up. If someone the ESFJ trusts suggests that they go on a blind date with someone, they might agree to this and might even become excited about the idea. The ESFJ will likely be friendly and do their best to look nice and make a connection on the date.
ISTP
For the ISTP the idea of a blind date can seem a bit desperate, and they really don’t like forced social situations. For them it is best to go with the flow and meet people organically. Being tossed into a situation like this can be both frustrating and draining for the ISTP. They enjoy being able to meet people on their own terms and like being surprised when it happens. If they do get stuck going on a blind date the ISTP is capable of being charming and will make the most out of the awkward situation.
ESTP
ESTPs likely hate the idea of going on a blind date, and much prefer to live their lives in the present. They actually enjoy meeting people organically and on their own time, rather than having to force it. The idea of being thrown into this type of situation will actually make the ESTP feel rather uncomfortable. They might be outgoing and charming people, but they prefer to make connections their own way. If the ESTP does get stuck going on a blind date they will simply be friendly and try to make the most out of the situation.
ISFP
ISFPs enjoy meeting new people but they often prefer to do this on their own terms. They don’t usually like the idea of a blind date, but they can be open to trying new things. If someone they love suggests that they go on a blind date with someone they deem special, then they might be willing to take a chance. ISFPs can feel a bit shy and uncomfortable on a blind date, but they will do their best to be friendly and make the most of the situation.
ESFP
ESFPs enjoy experiencing new things, and don’t like restraining themselves too much. While the ESFPs might prefer to meet people on their own terms, that doesn’t mean they won’t be open to the idea of a blind date. They might take a chance on someone and will do their best to be friendly and outgoing on the date. ESFPs will likely be charming and do their best to make the date truly fun and enjoyable.
