Scoring method
How the MBTI compatibility score is calculated
The model applies four MBTI preference pairs to 11 relationship settings. It is a consistent way to organize the reading, not a psychological test or a judgment about a real relationship.
Four dimensions
Each relationship starts at 60
A dimension adds its weight when the pair fits that relationship's preference and subtracts the same weight when it does not.
S/N
10 points
T/F
8 points
J/P
7 points
Relationship settings
Similarity is not always the preferred pattern
The model uses a different same-or-different pattern for each setting. That is why one pair can score differently at work and at home.
| Relationship | E/I | S/N | T/F | J/P |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spouses | Usually favors difference | Usually favors similarity | Usually favors difference | Usually favors difference |
| Partners | Usually favors difference | Usually favors similarity | Usually favors difference | Usually favors difference |
| Dating interest | Usually favors difference | Usually favors similarity | Usually favors difference | Usually favors difference |
| Classmates | Usually favors difference | Usually favors similarity | Usually favors similarity | Usually favors difference |
| Friends | Usually favors difference | Usually favors similarity | Usually favors similarity | Usually favors difference |

Final range
Scores stay between 35 and 95
The 11 relationship scores are averaged. Small adjustments for the exact letter pairs are then applied to the overall result.
Pair adjustments
Similar pairs can still differ slightly
EE -1, II +1, EI +0; SS +1, NN +2, SN -2; TT +1, FF +2, TF +0; JJ +1, PP +0, JP -1
Read the score as a starting point
A higher score means the model finds an easier fit in more settings. A lower score points to more areas that may need an explicit agreement. Neither result tells you what two people will choose to do.
