Type AB in love
Type AB is said to love thoughtfully and with some distance. They need a partner who respects their alone time and does not take quiet moods personally. Once they trust someone, they are considerate and quietly devoted.
Type AB at work
Type AB fits roles that reward clear thinking and independence: analysis, design, research. They are the colleague who calmly points out the flaw in the plan. Office politics bore them.
