This question came up in conversation today:
What is the meaning of the phrase "kindred spirit" ?

I thought this would be relevant to typology. Is a 'kindred spirit' someone of similar type or dual type? Is it someone who thinks alike but shares different activities, or is it someone who may think differently but has shared the same experiences?

I'd venture to guess that it would be a long the lines of thinking and believing the same things in roughly the same way.

Thoughts?
