- Keeping groups connected and organised
Worth watching
- Tolerate disagreement as part of closeness
- Let your own preferences count as much as everyone else's
A type is shorthand for the preferences you report, not a fixed kind of person. Most people sit close to the middle on at least one letter, and that letter can come out differently on another day. Read a type page as a mirror: keep what fits, leave what does not.
One letter away
These four types differ from this one by a single letter. That is a distance in letters, not a measured similarity; if one of your letters is only a slight lean, its neighbour may describe you just as well.
