Four-Dimensional Compatibility

Dimension 1

Energy Orientation: I (Introversion) × E (Extraversion)

Clear Primary and Secondary Roles

The ENTJ leads externally, while the ISTJ manages internally (or behind the scenes). Each performs their duties without interfering with the other.
The ENTJ might completely overshadow the ISTJ due to being too dominant. The ISTJ might feel resentment from being overlooked, but keep it internalized.

General and Chief of Staff.

Dimension 2

Information Perception: S (Sensing) × N (Intuition)

Practicality vs. Vision

A perfect combination of tactics and strategy. The ENTJ looks five years ahead, the ISTJ looks five minutes ahead.
Communication misalignment. The ENTJ may find the ISTJ short-sighted, not only conservative but even hindering innovation. The ISTJ may find the ENTJ overly ambitious, impractical, and risk-prone. Without mutual respect, they will look down on each other.

High-Altitude and Ground-Level Dialogue.

Dimension 3

Decision Making: T (Thinking) × T (Thinking)

Amplification of Te (Efficiency)

Extremely rational. No emotional interference. Decisions are based on results.
Extreme emotional scarcity. Both are 'heartless' (in terms of overt emotional expression). The home environment can be cold. When facing setbacks, they only analyze reasons, never offer hugs or comfort.

All Work, No Play.

Dimension 4

Lifestyle Orientation: J (Judging) × J (Judging)

Ultimate Order

Life runs like a precision instrument. Efficient, punctual, and tidy.
Power struggles. The ENTJ is a major control freak, and the ISTJ is a minor control freak (regarding details). If the ENTJ interferes with details, the ISTJ will explode. If the ISTJ obstructs the bigger picture, the ENTJ will erupt.

No Room for Error.
