Do you people see type battles in this way? And I use the word type loosely, as I'm really not sure how to exactly differentiate the opposite's here.

Intuitive's Vs Sensory's
Feelers Vs Thinkers
Perceivers Vs Judgers
with Extroverts and Introverts intermingling in any of the above type opposite

Another interesting thought I had, doesn't it seem that you can only come to love or hate someone of the opposite type? Love being the strongest of positive feelings one could feel towards someone else, and hate being the strongest of negative feelings one could feel towards them.

Thoughts and Opinions?

I think its more complicated than that. The primary source of tension I would think would be P vs J. One extraverts judgments, the other extraverts perceptions. There has always been conflict between those who fight against authority and those who believe in duty to some sort of authority. That authority could be anything... God, the Bible, the Government, a Teacher, Manager, Boss, Charismatic Leader, or even a concept. Ps introvert their judgment, which means the area that they tend to feel their highest degree of certainty is in the subjective world of their own minds, whereas Js are less certain about that subjectiveness and more certain about the reality they exist in as they see it.

I don't see any reason why an N and an S, or a T and an F would conflict. Its more that they wouldn't understand eachother. They wouldn't be able to see where the other person was coming from. The addage about women being too complicated to understand is based on that idea of T vs F.
