Half a sentence, and it gets through. Someone who sees the same opportunity at the same speed. But both put their own gain first.
ENTJ × ENTJ is the Identity relation, one of the sixteen. Half a sentence, and it gets through.
Written as ENTJ × ENTJ it is the same pair. In 16Personalities terms, the Commander and the Commander.
An easy, pleasant friendship arises at once from shared interests. You understand each other at a glance.
In terms of the mechanism, the "practical logic" in ENTJ's first position and the "intuition that calculates ahead" in the second sit in exactly the same positions in the other. The view you are best at, the other is best at too. So no explanation is needed, and so no new perspective comes from the other either. The strong places overlap, and do not double.
In the old observations, in identity the same elements of both act in the same positions, and a complete, painless repulsion arises. Since no words are needed, there is also nothing the other can hand you. For these two, people's feelings and care of the body are absent on both sides.
The observation says both put their own interest first and expect unlimited devotion and unconditional trust from the other. Neither can receive it.
"Let's try living together and see how it goes" takes the place of courtship.
Discuss a proposal and practical conflict appears at once. One may yield for the sake of friendship, but there is a limit. Resentment accumulates where one feels the other has exploited their goodwill.
The empty places are the same too. The "ethics that reads distance between people" ENTJ wants most is what the other wants most, and neither has it. The "force that pushes and takes", which each produces with a little effort, takes a little effort from both. What flows in silently between duals never flowed between these two in the first place.
It lasts only where interests do not overlap and survival depends on cooperation. An expedition, a unit, survival. There, will, sacrifice and ethics come out in both.
Marriage is extremely rare, the source says. Neither creates an emotional entrance, and both see house and family as "somebody else's job".

A woman who recalled a friendship with someone of the same type as "understanding without words, like siblings". He vanished, and months later appeared with a pregnant wife. She later married her dual and realised that friendship would have exhausted both had they married, the record says.
It lasts only where interests do not overlap and survival depends on cooperation, the observation says.
A practical proposal, "let's try living together and see how it goes", takes the place of courtship, the record says.
