Who Matches Up?

Director and Explorer

This is a curious match. A Director and Explorer can be highly compatible lovers, because both dopamine and testosterone stimulate sex drive. And they share the ability to be creative, even ingenious. The Explorer is likely to respect the Director's focus on work, logical inventiveness, irreverence, and pragmatism. And the Director probably enjoys the Explorer's daring and curiosity. But Explorers may have difficulty dealing with Directors' frank and doubting natures, as well as their dedication to deep knowledge on esoteric topics, competitiveness, and serious approach to life. And the Director may feel that the Explorer is, at times, unfocused and out of control. When asked, "Do you and your partner have the same goals," only 38 percent of Directors said "often," compared with 65 percent of their Explorer spouses.
