Bill, ISOhear you! I married my opposite. Even more so, she grew up "southern." There's a saying I've learned: Southerners don't talk, they visit. When I have a business call to make, I call, conduct business, and goodbye. When my wife places a business call, she not only conducts business, but knows someone's life history, in addition, by the time she gets off the phone. She creates an impact and leaves an impression that my business calls do not. And, since as an E it is more effortless for her to place calls, I, too, have placed her in charge of our communications. Put differently, as an INTP, I'm the thinker; she's the "doer." Usually works well.Usually.
