In love and closeness
The pace of getting closer, the force of response, the need for quiet. A level person often looks cold here and a vivid one excessive, and both conclusions are usually wrong.
Temperament compatibility is a map of differences, not a score
Nobody hands out points here and nobody promises a perfect match. You put two test results side by side, and the page shows seven measures of your pair: where you meet, where you differ, and what to do with that difference in love, at work and at home.
Sanguine
Choleric
Phlegmatic
Melancholic- 01Calculated from two test results, not from the name of a type.
- 02Seven measures of a pair and five spheres: closeness, work, home, arguing, boundaries.
- 03Nothing is stored: the pair lives in the link, not in our database.
Check together
Compare two results
Paste two result links: yours and the other person’s. A whole link works, and so does the key inside it. No account needed and nothing is stored.
How it works
Three steps, and no codes to type by hand.
- 01
Take the test
166 statements and eight scales. At the end you get a link to your result, and that link is your key.
- 02
Invite the second person
Your result page carries an invitation link. The other person takes the test through it, and their result offers to open your pair.
- 03
Open the reading
Two results stand side by side: the map of axes, seven measures, five spheres and roles. The reading has its own link you can send each other.
The manual route works too: if both results already exist, paste both links into the fields above. The key is cut out of the link for you.
What it is calculated from
Compatibility here is not a number and not a rating. It is the distance between two profiles on specific properties that the test measures for each of you separately.
you match
workable difference
contrast
On top of that comes the shared map on two axes, activation and steadiness. The distance between your two points is what people usually call compatibility. The numbers come from the answers of both of you, not from the label of a type: two sanguine people can stand further apart than a sanguine and a melancholic one.
- 01
Pace and energy
Energy, Tempo
How much fits into a day and how fast it gets done. This is where the argument about when to stop comes from.
- 02
People and solitude
Sociability
How many people each of you needs and how much time alone it takes to recover.
- 03
Plans and change
Flexibility
How easily a settled decision moves. For one of you a plan is a support, for the other a working draft.
- 04
How fast it catches
Reactivity
The force and speed of a response. Not the depth of feeling, but how fast the wave rises inside.
- 05
How fast it lets go
Recovery
How long it takes to return to normal after an argument or a hard day.
- 06
Background and quiet
Sensitivity
The threshold for noise, light, bustle and other people's moods. Almost every household boundary grows from it.
- 07
Who sees it through
Persistence
Who holds effort once the first interest has passed, and who switches easily to what is new.
Ten temperament combinations
The name of a type gives only a rough frame: inside one type people differ a lot. The frame is still useful, so here are ten combinations in one line each.
Sanguine and Sanguine
Two quick starters: plenty of motion and few brakes. What needs agreeing is who carries things to the end.
Sanguine and Choleric
Speed and drive: a strong pairing in any project, with arguments mostly about whose decision is final.
Sanguine and Phlegmatic
Momentum and anchor: one calls you outside, the other brings you home. A steady pair once the pace is discussed out loud.
Sanguine and Melancholic
Lightness and depth: one gets close quickly, the other looks first. Speed is the main theme of this pair.
Choleric and Choleric
Two engines: decisions come instantly and an argument turns into a duel. Divided ownership is what saves it.
Choleric and Phlegmatic
Pressure and calm: one pushes, the other does not speed up. Everything here rests on respect for the other pace.
Choleric and Melancholic
Drive and precision: a strong working pair, as long as criticism is said out loud and not read as a verdict.
Phlegmatic and Phlegmatic
Two calm ones: home is quiet and even, and change arrives from outside. An external deadline works better than persuasion.
Phlegmatic and Melancholic
A quiet pair with high thresholds: little noise and much left unsaid. The habit of naming things helps most.
Melancholic and Melancholic
Two deep ones: understanding without explanations and analysis without end. Someone else usually calls you outside.
There are no incompatible combinations on this list. Similar pairs have less friction and more shared blind spots, contrasting pairs the other way round, and neither promises anything in advance.
What the five spheres look at
The same numbers behave differently in different parts of life, so the reading takes them one sphere at a time.
If you work together
Pace, stamina, the attitude to plans. The reading says plainly whether a shared project is worth it and in what division of roles.
At home and in family life
Plans, order, noise, guests. Home life is not a detail, it is where a difference in thresholds is felt every single day.
How you talk and argue
The heat of a conversation and the speed of returning to normal. Half of all resentment grows from one of you having let go while the other is still inside the conversation.
What boundaries you need
How much quiet and personal time each of you needs. A boundary is not distance, it is the condition under which a pair does not wear itself out.
Misconceptions
Opposites attract.
Attraction is easy; living together belongs to the pair that talked it through. Contrast gives a pair range and asks for words where similar people manage in silence.
Some types are a perfect match.
Some combinations carry less friction and some carry more. There is no perfect one, and no combination promises anything in advance.
Compatibility can be given as a percentage.
A number looks convincing and means nothing: we have no population norms, and 73 percent cannot be checked by anyone. So the reading shows the gap on every measure instead of one score.
Temperament decides the fate of a relationship.
Temperament describes dynamics: speed, response, thresholds, stamina. Values, circumstances and the way you treat each other do not follow from it.
Check your own pair
Start with the test: 166 statements and 15 to 20 minutes. Then one link to the other person, and the reading opens for both of you.
