Basically, each sector of 4 squares from each corner work well together. Tops also work well with each other at top, same with bottoms. Further away generally work together less well than closer, but not always true. Put down a dot for each code in each area if you want a balanced group. If your group’s tasks and purpose suits a few codes, then try to stack them, obviously.

But I prefer the general rule stated. Same two inside letters differing outside letters match up best, so like ENTJ and INTP. Same NT. Different E/I and P/J. Think of it another way. You see the world the same way (N). You make decisions the same way (T), based on same values (N, how you see the world). However, one will speak out more (E) and be more decisive (J), while the other says less and is accepting (i.e. fewer arguments), while not giving up control or freedom because s/he sees things similarly and decides using a similar process (more rational than feelings, in this case). Could easily also work with INTJ and ENTP, so that the E person doesn’t have to be the J person making decisions, either. That’s the theory I use.

After that. try for same middle two letters and similar in 1 or 2 of other letters. Same idea. A little less ideal.

See if the people who get along well in your group fit this pattern. It’s not the be all and end all, as other things can matter big, like having kids in common. However, theory is pretty good, I have found, tested over many people.
