You scored 50 I versus E, 20 N versus S, 40 F versus T, and 40 J versus P!

Your ideal mate is known as the healer. As a romantic partner, this type is usually supportive and nurturing, however, they have a high need for individuality. Harmony is extremely important to this type as they are very affected by conflict and tension, which also makes them resist confronting their partners directly about problems. When this type gets angry, they usually blame themselves, rather than their partners. This type can also be stubborn and unyielding when they feel they are being criticized or mistreated. They feel the most appreciated when their partners listen to them carefully. They need to be understood. They need to hear their partners express their feelings, the more often, the better.
