I can agree with with wisdom of iNtuitives generally pairing with other iNtuitives, especially since I married an ISFJ and our N vs. S opposite logic wiring often gets in the way.

Thinking back to my dating days, some of my most enjoyable pairings (on the short term at least) were with Extroverts, as a counterpoint to my Introvert personality. It perhaps wouldn't work with a strong E/I difference, but on a lighter scale, the E tends to draw the I out, and the I tends to keep the E grounded.

I personally think that the long-term relationship really needs a mixture of similarities and *complementary* differences. In the good times, the differences keep you fascinated with each other, while in the bad times, the similarities keep bonded when those differences drive you each respectively nuts with each other.
