Broken down by axis
Activity range 74pts
Both are calm, which keeps the house quiet. Short, frequent walks suit them better than long ones, and it helps to let each of them move at their own pace instead of pushing lively play.
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 82pts
They approach differently, so one naturally takes the front while the other watches from behind. This pairing rarely runs into resource disputes.
Axis meanings and weights differ from human MBTI compatibility, so the same letter pair scores differently for people, dogs, and cats.
