The codes point the same way on many traits. Ask each other what feels right in practice.
Personality compatibility for two
Enter two type codes to compare their similarities and differences across five dimensions.
Compatibility read on five axes
This personality compatibility reading uses the two type codes you enter. We compare the five traits represented by those codes: sociality, emotionality, organisation, cooperativeness and inquisitiveness. Saju compatibility based on birth information is available as a separate service.
We compare whether the five personality traits represented by your type codes point in the same or different directions. Sharing traits does not guarantee the same relationship experience, so look at which traits match or differ alongside the score.
How you appear with people can differ from how you are alone. Enter two type codes to compare where they point in the same or different directions across five dimensions. The result does not predict behavior or relationships in actual situations.
The five kinds of match
Enter both codes and your pair lands on one of these.
The codes point the same way on quite a few traits. Ask each other what feels comfortable in practice.
The codes point the same way on some traits and differently on others. Ask each other about actual preferences.
Differences in trait directions stand out in the codes. Ask each other about actual choices.
The codes point differently on many traits. Start by listening to each other's actual answers.
How the two-code comparison works
Some matching letters count more
The five letters in each type show which side it is closer to on the Social, Emotional, Organized, Accommodating and Inquisitive traits. The score adds the points assigned to each trait where both types are on the same side. The letters do not all carry the same weight, so estimating the score just by counting different letters can give you the wrong result.
Emotional carries the most weight, followed by Accommodating, Social, Organized and Inquisitive. A difference on Emotional and a difference on Inquisitive affect the score differently, even though each is a one-letter difference. This order is the tool's calculation rule for comparing types, not a ranking of how important personality traits are to a person. The score shows how similar the type codes are; you still need to ask what matters to each person in an actual conversation.
The five readings describe a range
Strong match is the range where the directions of all five traits are closest. Very Well Matched has many shared directions with some differences, while Good Friends is a range for exploring both similarities and differences. Different Vibes has more differing directions to explore, and Growth Partners has the greatest differences. Even when a name includes ‘friends’ or ‘partners’, it does not determine the kind of relationship you actually have.
In everyday life, similarities in the closer ranges still need checking, and differences in the more distant ranges need discussing in concrete situations. Whichever type you start with, the proportion of other types in each range is the same. Few combinations fall at the closest and most distant ends; most are in the middle. A middle result does not mean your relationship is especially unclear.
Look at where the differences are, not just how many
Even with the same number of different letters, the score varies depending on which traits differ. The deductions in the example are the points taken away when the two types are on opposite sides of a trait. There is no deduction for traits on the same side. Emotional has the largest deduction, so a pair differing on that trait loses more points than a pair differing only on Inquisitive.
A difference on Inquisitive has a small effect on the overall result, but that does not mean it is trivial in an actual conversation. Calculation weights and what matters to the two people are different measures. The final name shows the combined similarity of all five traits by range, while the individual comparisons show where the differences come from. When reading your result, look at which traits cause the large deductions as well as remembering the name.

Turn a different row into a question
Choose one trait that differs in the result and connect it to a recent situation you experienced together. If Organized differs, you could ask something specific, such as ‘When making plans, how much do you want decided in advance?’ Let the other person tell you what feels comfortable to settle beforehand, rather than letting the type name answer for them. Sharing what you wanted in that same situation gives you a basis for comparison.
Compare the pace or preparation each of you wanted at the time. Set aside assumptions that someone will always act a certain way because of their type, and focus on the difference you confirmed in this situation. If your preferences differ even on a shared trait, give priority to what the person says. Discuss uncomfortable experiences separately even when your scores are close. The purpose of the conversation is to find what you can agree on together next time, rather than to check whether you agree with the result.
Similarity leaves chemistry open
This score does not include time spent together or what you have actually said to each other. It cannot tell whether people with similar types feel attracted to each other, or whether people with different types feel comfortable together. A close result does not guarantee a comfortable relationship, and a distant result does not foretell difficulties ahead.
Our test asks separately about who you are with other people and who you are when alone. When discussing a type, check which setting you mean. If the side the other person knows differs from how you are alone, differences in codes alone cannot explain why your conversation went wrong. Use the result as a starting point for comparing the directions of five traits, and check attraction or discomfort in the actual relationship through concrete experiences and the other person's words.
