May be, you two share the same personality type. Get to know some famous people with the ISFP personality type in this PsycholoGenie article.
“Introverted feeling types have a wealth of warmth and enthusiasm, but they may not show it until they know someone well. They wear their warm side inside, just like a fur-lined coat.”
― Isabel Briggs Myers
