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 86pts
Meals, walks, and bedtime line up easily. Set the daily routine once and both will follow it, which makes life simpler for you too.
Startle response 64pts
They react to strange sounds and visitors the same way, so when one tenses up the other follows. Introduce anything new one thing at a time, slowly.
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.
