Identical?
To be clear, I'm not referring to particular identicals I know, more so just the idea of them.
the most boring type (according to intertype relations)

SLI FTW
mmm...as a general rule...members of the opposite quadra?
ILE "Searcher"
Socionics: ENTp
DCNH: Dominant
--> perhaps Normalizing
Enneagram: 7w6 "Enthusiast"
MBTI: ENTJ "Field Marshall" or ENTP "Inventor"
Astrological sign: Aquarius
To learn, read. To know, write. To master, teach.
identicals of same subtype are really boring. different subtype is oke.
oh and benefeciary is also boring.
I don't think identicals are boring, after a while the conversation gets stagnant yes, but you still feel comfortable with them and able to do things with each other.

Overall, the concept of "boring" or "not boring" is not part of what the theory of intertype relationships is meant to determine. However, the term might be used by people when describing some people with whom they have little in common. So, people from different quadras who have very different interests might see each other as boring because there isn't a lot to talk about. Not necessarily though.
I think with identicals, it can vary based on the similarity of backgrounds of the two people. An identical pair that grew up in the same/similiar neighborhoods had similiar parents will be different from an identical pair where one grew up in suburbia, with not really there parents, and one who grew up in a violent ghetto, with parents that paid attention to him.
But that kind of happens with any relationship, except maybe dual.I don't think identicals are boring, after a while the conversation gets stagnant yes, but you still feel comfortable with them and able to do things with each other.
LIE-Ni, i think, but maybe ILI
I don't think any type is boring.
but if I had to choose the most boring type to me, it would probably be EII. But I feel bad saying that.
IEI-Fe 4w3
Most boring person I hung out with consistently was ISTp. Nothing against ISTps, there just was never anything to do.
ILE-Ti
6w7 sx/sp (low level of confidence)
I can talk for HOURS with my IEI friends. but in order to do anything, we needDefinitely! I think identicals are one of the LEAST boring types; they are great to talk to, but perhaps needs some help to actually do stuff sometimes (that's just for me though, IEIs need!)
ScarletteLux, that quote in your sig is soooo funny!

I love talking to LIE's. That's not what I meant.
Never mind.
I seem to find that the more interesting people are either in my quadra or in the opposing quadra. People in my quadra are more likely to share to my interests and they're easier to converse with. People in the opposing quadra often think and behave very differently from me. Oftentimes they are not the people I would want to get close to but they are interesting because of the difference.

No I don't find my identicals boring. I just think LIEs are boring, Joy.
"How could we forget those ancient myths that stand at the beginning of all races, the myths about dragons that at the last moment are transformed into princesses? Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love."
-- Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
I disagree :wink:
Yeah, I would say ILIs and LIEs are the most boring for me.
ILE
7w8 so/sp
Very busy with work. Only kind of around.
Illusionaries?
Having worked with an ESTj, we both had our own targets to arrive within the same field. At times we could bounce off each other, common goals, cause, but still working within our own. Sometimes this has seemed like a really good relation. I suppose at times like this we've observed our creative functions.
However from that, when we've at times looked to carry on the relationship into some form of social activity, i've found myself being really bored and even not particularly agreeing with some of the persons stances or perhaps even actions (but perhaps saying somewhat little in that regard), and i've been exhausted (perhaps lethargic) and wanted to get away from the situation!
(I suppose looking at a more general inter-type relation, my example above is similar in ways to other experiences with the type). Still, interesting people can be interesting regardless of their type.

Actually, I don't consider people as being boring or not. In that sense I'll just go out with somebody else. I really don't get that feeling that makes people go: "wow that person is so boring," unless it's someone who is completely unemotional.
I generally agree. With most INFjs, I feel a neutral type of psychological distance, one that allows for fairly smooth conversation to occur without any significant boundaries being breached, but as a result suffers from a feeling of monotony over time. Obviously there are exceptions to this, though (and I think e-type/instinct factors in heavily).
I haven't found too many intriguing delta STs, but it's not like I'm lookingOther than that, it varies a good deal.
4w3-5w6-8w7
This.
That said, I could lose months at a time with another EII. IEIs aren't the only sufferers of Identity-addictionI would hardly call them "boring".
I think funny enough that conflicting types are quite apt to bore each other. If only because they usually can't find a way to both be interested in doing something together in a way that both will find interesting. (Others have previously noted that conflicting types don't necessarily conflict with each other, if given the choice, but rather simply avoid each other)
depends on the person alot. ISFp, ISTp, ESFj, ESTj, INXx, ENTp are all candidates
your mother?
IEI-Fe 4w3
there's an ESTj with a motorcycle who once took me for a ride. It was really short and he was all nervous about his wife being nervous (which is completely silly) and we haven't gone again although he's indicated he wants to. But that was a pretty fun shared activity for conflictors.

I find my father to be rather boring at times. He's an SLI and my beneficiary.

Could be.No I don't find my identicals boring. I just think LIEs are boring, Joy.
Sometimes I feel like I should be more soft and feminine... especially when I meet middle aged LIE women.They're so boring and plain.
INFp.... sorry, just bleeeeuggh, whatever relation they are to moi.
ENTp... love it

I think any type with your 7th function in their ego will be boring. Theoretically, illusionary and beneficiary would be somewhat useful and possibly interesting when it comes to doing things, but I find that my quasi-identical is a formidable debater which i've always admired so I don't know which would be most boring. I do find my quasi-identical impossible to listen to for long explanations, but I do with my illusionary too
who said illusionary??? wow i don't agree.
benefactor, quasi. really that's all. even if i can't get along with the others, i'd never say they were boring. esp conflict. it's like watch carefully and tread lightly.
ILE
those who are easily shocked.....should be shocked more often
Same, I've known my ILE friend since I was 17 (now 24) and he's not boring.
The common social "activity" that I definitely find most boring and dreadful is that whereby a group of individuals regularly get together and do nothing but sit and chat, or shop and chat, or go to get together with more individuals to do the two former options. Emphasis on group though. I enjoy just chilling with one or two people and doing nothing (so long as neither of them is a tard) and even chatting. However, once a group hits critical mass the conversation degrades to 'mingling' (hearing about the who's who of the town and why Cindy, you know Joe's ex gf is breaking up with her new boyfriend omg blah blah blah. When this happens I always pretend I'm listening sympathetically to whoever's talking but only because I feel sorry for them for not realizing how irrelevant and insignificant such matters are. LSEs and ESEs are the worst for this in my experience, they somehow have the absurd notion that every detail of what they did, who they saw, and what who they saw did, is so interesting that you should feel honoured to lend them your ears
So conflictor and supervisee are most often most boring to me most of the time (with some exceptions of course, and some are sometimes awesome, but still fewer and less so than other types)
Yes, when i was younger I thought that was the "normal way of socializing" Because it seems like majority of them do that, just talk about these stuff as opposed to a bit more interesting/abstract thoughts or ideas, rather than rambling about the every detail of it's experiences, Before I learned any typology theory, I thought that was the Idea of what extrovert was like, which was dead wrong.Same, I've known my ILE friend since I was 17 (now 24) and he's not boring.
