Broken down by axis
Activity range 46pts
One wants to keep running while the other wants to rest, so play time pulls in two directions. An extra solo walk for the livelier one lets the quieter one rest without feeling crowded.
Daily rhythm 46pts
One likes fixed times while the other moves whenever the mood strikes, so the day keeps slipping out of sync. Pinning down meals and walks alone removes most of the friction.
Startle response 80pts
They register change at different speeds, so the steadier one becomes the reference point when the other startles. Settle the calmer one first and the other follows quickly.
Contact style 60pts
They approach people and other animals from a similar distance, which invites standoffs over bowls and sleeping spots. Keep separate bowls and beds from day one.
Axis meanings and weights differ from human MBTI compatibility, so the same letter pair scores differently for people, dogs, and cats.
