TypeLogic Relationship Archetypes — MBTI Pairing Chart

This chart maps the relationship archetype between every pair of the sixteen Myers–Briggs (MBTI) personality types. Find one type in the left column and the other across the top row — the cell where they meet names the dynamic between them. For example, an ENFP and an INFJ land on Pedagogue, while two of the same type share an Identity relationship (highlighted down the diagonal).

The framework comes from the Jungian-function analysis popularized by TypeLogic: it compares how the dominant, auxiliary, tertiary, and inferior functions of two types line up, and what that tends to feel like in practice. The table is symmetric — the relationship between A and B is the same as between B and A.

The archetypes, defined

Identity	Same types: a typological mirror-image.
Pal	Work and play well together: minimal natural type conflict.
Pedagogue	Each is both the other's mentor and student: has a “parent to child” feel.
Advisor	Each has an area of insight that the other lacks.
Companion	Similar modes of expression: bear each other's company well.
Complement	Compatible strengths with opposite emphases.
Supplement	Like Pal, but functions are farther removed: each can add to the other's strengths.
Cohort	Mutually drawn into experiential escapades.
Tribesman	Share a sense of culture, but with different interests and abilities.
Anima	Fits Dr. Beebe's description of the anima/animus: each is the other's inferior (4th) function.
Contrast	Point and counterpoint on each function.
Counterpart	Perform similar functions in totally different realms.
Enigma	A puzzle: totally foreign in nearly every facet.
Neighbor	Arrive at the same place by variant processes.
Novelty	Intriguingly different: interestingly so.
Suitemate	A person one might be comfortable sharing an office with. Prefer similar climates, but don't necessarily have much in common as far as goals or world view.
