How they compare, letter by letter
One of you gains energy from people, the other from solitude. Pacing social time is the main thing to balance.
One reads for meaning and possibility, the other for facts and detail. It's your biggest gap — and your best chance to cover each other's blind spots.
You both weigh values and impact on people, so warmth and tact come easily.
You both like things planned and settled, so you tend to move in sync on decisions.
