Dichotomies of the 5-7 line:

5: specialist (laser beam illumination)
7: generalist (laser beam illumination)

5: careful about what they "take in" (spare)
7: aggressive, liberal in mental synthesis (excessive)

5: learn before acting, experiencing (the mind leads the will)
7: learn by acting, experiencing (the will leads the mind)


Similarities:

They both seek independence from others' wills and agendas, from others' problems, and particularly from their own cumbersome/fearful emotions. Their is a lightness of disposition, and a humorous and astute orientation toward life. Perception, in particular, is the juice of life for these two types, and it seems that in their best moments, I find perception in its richest form.

I have nicknamed the 7-5 line "the line of wit"... or something like that. You get the general idea.

G'night!
