Understanding Your Personality Type (MBTI)

Bulb IconWhy We Ask About Your Personality Type

At Comatch, we believe that business compatibility isn’t just about skills or funding — it’s also about personality. That’s why we use the well-known Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) to help you better understand yourself and your potential cofounders or partners.

Brain IconWhat Is the MBTI?

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a popular personality assessment tool that classifies individuals into 16 personality types based on how they:

  • Focus their attention (Extraversion or Introversion)
  • Take in information (Sensing or Intuition)
  • Make decisions (Thinking or Feeling)
  • Deal with the outside world (Judging or Perceiving)

Each personality type is represented by a 4-letter code, like INTJ, ENFP, or ISTP.

Starting or running a business with someone is more personal than most people think. Shared values, work styles, and communication preferences are key to long-term success. Here’s how MBTI can help:

  • Avoid conflicts by understanding how your partner thinks and works.
  • Divide responsibilities based on natural strengths and preferences.
  • Build trust faster with better communication dynamics.
  • Identify blind spots by choosing partners who complement your personality.

There’s no "perfect match", but certain combinations are known to work well. For example:

  • ENTP (the Visionary) pairs well with ISTJ (the Organizer) for balancing innovation with structure.
  • INFJ (the Advocate) might work well with ENFP (the Campaigner) — both care about people, but approach goals differently.
  • INTJ (the Strategist) often thrives with ENTP or ESTP, who can bring energy and adaptability.

Comatch helps you filter potential partners by personality type — if you choose to — and calculates a compatibility level based on your MBTI to improve the likelihood of a successful collaboration.

Briefcase IconHow We Use This at Comatch

  • It’s optional, but recommended.
  • Your MBTI type helps other users understand your style.
  • If you enable personality-based filters, we’ll match you more precisely with partners who are complementary or aligned to your type.
  • This adds another smart layer of matching — beyond just industry or funding.

Lock IconYour Privacy Matters

Your personality type is only visible to you in your profile settings. It is never shown publicly to other users on the platform.

We use it only for improving your match suggestions — nothing more.
