ENTP is the giving side, ENFJ the receiving. ENTP's logic that carries an idea through arrives as what ENFJ always wanted. ENFJ's emotion that moves the room is pleasant to ENTP, but does not quench the thirst.
ENTP and ENFJ compatibility in brief (love, work, friendship)
ENTP × ENFJ is the Benefit (benefactor) relation, one of the sixteen. You hand it over without noticing.
LoveCan become a long marriage, the observation says.WorkWith ENTP as the boss, learn to listen.Friends & conversationENTP's words enter ENFJ as truth.
Written as ENFJ × ENTP it is the same pair. In 16Personalities terms, the Debater and the Protagonist.
ENTP carries logic through lightly. ENFJ receives it as something that puts a spine into their heat. ENFJ admires ENTP's way of thinking, and ENTP basks pleasantly in ENFJ's heat.
In terms of the mechanism, ENTP's second, "logic that carries an idea through", flows into ENFJ's fifth, the place they want most. ENTP is only using it lightly as a tool. To ENFJ, it arrives as what they had been waiting for all along. So ENFJ at first sees ENTP as larger than they are.
In the old observations, the receiving side at first overrates the giver, admires their behaviour and way of thinking, and comes to ingratiate unconsciously. The giving side looks down on the receiver, underestimates their ability, and enjoys teaching them about life.
Logic said lightly becomes truth for the other.
Heat is pleasant; the body does not come
ENFJ's heat warms ENTP's sixth. But the care of the body ENTP wants most is ENFJ's weakest place. ENTP cannot receive what they want from ENFJ.
What ENTP receives is unclear. ENFJ's first, "emotion that moves the room", only lightly warms ENTP's sixth, and the "bodily comfort" ENTP truly wants is ENFJ's fourth, a place they cannot produce. On ENFJ's side, compassion and a protective feeling sprout toward ENTP's fragility and unfinishedness.
ENTP sees ENFJ as "heat, but scattered" and wants to teach. ENFJ ingratiates and justifies themselves. The form of a long friendship suits these two.

What has been recorded
SCENE 01Ingratiating
The receiver unconsciously ingratiates before the giver; it gradually grows, and they seem to be constantly justifying themselves. It begins with small concessions and spreads over time: Gulenko's observation.
SCENE 02Teaching life
The giving side looks down on the receiving side, underestimates their ability, and enjoys teaching them about life. Concentrating on their own area of interest, they monopolise the receiver's attention, the record says.
SCENE 03Unable to refuse
The essence of the request is that it is presented in a form that enters the mind so deeply that the choice of refusing is almost impossible. Because it strikes directly from the giver's second position into the receiver's suggestive place: Augustinavičiūtė's description.

Use ENFJ's strength
They are talented in their own field.
Count the concessions
The impression of constantly yielding piles up.
For these two
How to meet ── As the one who teaches
A relation in which you hand over without noticing. Teaching settings, the senior's position. The other sees you as larger than you are.
Approach ── Know the weight of your words
Your casual words enter the other as truth. Reduce requests. Listen. Use what the other is good at.
A date ── A day of listening to them
When you talk, the other keeps giving way. Listen to talk of their domain. Go where they are good.
Gifts ── for ENTP, Comfort; for ENFJ, Something consistent
For ENTP: A good blanket, good food, things that ease the body. What ENTP does not buy for themselves. For ENFJ: A book with clean logic, a tool with structure. What puts a spine into ENFJ's heat.
PROne thing for this relation

This pair is the benefit relation, one of the sixteen. How the relation itself arises, and how to tell it from the others, is on the relation page.
The two Model A's: what talks to what
ENTP on the left, ENFJ on the right. Each shows where the eight elements sit; lines connect the same element. Where each line starts and ends decides what happens in this relation.
Lines connect the same element in the other person's structure. 1–2 (strong) 3 (role) 4 (vulnerable) 5–6 (wanted) 7–8 (capable, indifferent)
1 → 8NeENTP's 1 (leading) Ne (extraverted intuition) sits in ENFJ's position 8 (demonstrative). ENFJ can do what ENTP is good at but does not value it. ENTP feels slightly unappreciated.
2 → 5TiENTP's 2 (creative) Ti (introverted logic) sits in ENFJ's position 5 (suggestive). What ENTP produces naturally is what ENFJ has been waiting for. The most comfortable flow.
3 → 6SeENTP's 3 (role) Se (extraverted sensing) sits in ENFJ's position 6 (mobilizing). ENTP is weak here and ENFJ wants it. A gap neither can fill.
4 → 7FiENTP's 4 (vulnerable) Fi (introverted ethics) sits in ENFJ's position 7 (ignoring). ENFJ quietly covers ENTP's weak point. For ENFJ it is nothing.
5 → 4SiENTP's 5 (suggestive) Si (introverted sensing) sits in ENFJ's position 4 (vulnerable). What ENTP asks for is ENFJ's weakest point. The more ENTP asks, the smaller ENFJ gets.
6 → 1FeENTP's 6 (mobilizing) Fe (extraverted ethics) sits in ENFJ's position 1 (leading). ENFJ constantly supplies what ENTP wants. Where ENTP relaxes.
7 → 2NiENTP's 7 (ignoring) Ni (introverted intuition) sits in ENFJ's position 2 (creative). ENFJ's main field is one ENTP does not care about. Little friction, little interest.
8 → 3TeENTP's 8 (demonstrative) Te (extraverted logic) sits in ENFJ's position 3 (role). ENTP could protect ENFJ's weak point but is not inclined to. Will if asked.
