78 in a relationship

They're neighbouring strategies, so each can be the other's wing. They have a lot in common and often understand each other without explanation.

There's plenty of juice in this relationship. The Seven and the Eight are neighbouring strategies, and their combination creates a "hunger for fun": adventure, good sex, experiences. Both like to enjoy themselves and don't feel much guilt. They answer to themselves, not to others, and both hate the word "must."

Independence is a necessity. The Eight likes making and breaking rules; the Seven sees dogma as death. Usually an unspoken agreement forms that each gets time and space for their own interests.

• Lots of energy, experiences, and fun.
• Both are bold, action-oriented, and confident.
• The Eight brings strength, the Seven brings ideas.

• The Eight tries to rein in the Seven; the Seven makes excuses.
• To the Eight, the Seven's reasons sound like lies.
• Both would rather withdraw than admit something hurt them.

Both are independent, and for them the gap between idea and action is short. Both trust their own perceptions and are more aware of what they want than of how they come across to others. The Seven veers off toward possibilities; the Eight works flat out or not at all. Under pressure, the differences grow.
