- Nicholas might get frustrated when Barack forgets something Nicholas told him already.
- It might seem to Nicholas that Barack is too content with ideas of doing things, rather than doing things.

When communicating:
- When Nicholas wants to go into detail to explain something, Barack might need to hear the details multiple times before he remembers them all.

In groups:
- In a group meeting, Nicholas and Barack need someone more fast-paced and demanding to set a cut-off time, otherwise it could drag on.
- Nicholas and Barack are both comfortable playing contributing roles on a team.
- When working in a group, Nicholas should focus on organizing the tasks that need to be completed and Barack should focus on the people that should complete them.

Conflict:
- In the event of a dispute, Nicholas might try to out-debate Barack, and Barack could get frustrated because he feels that Nicholas is missing the point by focusing on the logic without compassion.
- When an issue arises, Barack might think that Nicholas is not considering the feelings of those involved.
- Nicholas and Barack rarely argue, but in the event of a conflict, it is motivated mostly by feelings.

Personal:
- Barack and Nicholas will probably share lots of interesting facts, articles, and ideas with each other.
- Nicholas will admire Barack’s ability to just “go with the flow”, but will not want to behave the same way.
- If Nicholas can present their thoughts in a friendly, cordial manner, they can prevent Barack from making poor emotionally-driven decisions.
