In which ways is Duality better than Activity?

[Trevor]

A duality is always better than AN activity. A duality doesn't have to be better than THE activity.

Now you know.

I wouldn't reject someone on the basis of some unproven personality hypothesis. However, I might reject someone on the basis of relationship dissatisfaction that may have been predicted by the hypothesis.

The limited number of surveys on types of married couples indicate that duality, while representing more than 1/16 of the intertype relationships of couples, only accounts for 30%-50% of marriages. Surely there's something positive and fulfilling that can be found in non-duality relations.

i am hoping you are right.

activity is a good one....but the difference in rationality is what starts to erode the relation on too close a distance. but overall, one of the best relations!

[krieger]

My experience with these has been relatively bad; the difference in temperament makes the interaction lack in smoothness. There isn't a strong incentive to keep the conversation going. I like ISFps a lot but the difference in compatibility with me between them and ESFjs is not just some marginalized detail.

Although I agree with your conclusion, I disagree that the basis on which you came to that conclusion is realistic.
I've seen plenty of people say dual marriages represent 50% of marriages. I have seen this purported, but I've never seen this study. I'm not about to take anyone's word for it because I find this highly unlikely.
Alternately, if that were true, look at the divorce rate. In america it is somewhere around 50%. no one talks about that.
