Match strength guide
Best match
Dual — Mutually completing strengths and needs. Each partner's Ego block addresses the other's Super-Id. The most naturally comfortable and productive relation over the long term.
Strong match
Activation — Same Quadra, complementary energy. Highly stimulating and sociable. Works best at a slight social distance; can become overwhelming in close day-to-day proximity.
Good match
Mirror, Semi-dual, Kindred — Positive relations with shared values or complementary orientations. Comfortable and cooperative, though lacking the full complementarity of Duality.
Neutral
Identity, Business, Quasi-identity — Neither naturally supportive nor naturally conflicting. Relations that work well in professional contexts but rarely develop great depth.
Mixed
Mirage — Attractive at first — shared goals and a surface resemblance create early rapport. The mismatch becomes apparent over time as the apparent similarity proves shallow.
Asymmetric
Benefit, Supervision — One partner gives more than they receive, or one carries more tension than the other. The dynamic is not hostile but is structurally unequal. Can work well if both parties understand the asymmetry.
Difficult
Super-ego, Extinguishment — Relations of mutual fascination that tend to produce friction over time. Each partner inadvertently hits the other's sensitive areas. Manageable with effort; not comfortable by default.
Most difficult
Conflict — Every core dichotomy reversed. Each partner's instincts run counter to the other's. Not impossible to navigate in structured contexts, but taxing as a close relationship.
These ratings describe the structural dynamic between types — not the outcome of any specific relationship. Individual circumstances, shared history and personal development all matter.
