Matchers instinctively search for similarities and patterns between a new idea and something familiar. Mis-matchers instinctively search for differences and discrepancies.

Raj is a matcher who wants to hear how this party resembles the good times he has already had. Simran is a mis-matcher who wants to hear how this party is unlike anything she has experienced before. The example shows four ways to word the same invite depending on which of the four matcher/mis-matcher sub-types a person leans towards."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What are the four types of matcher/mis-matcher, and how do I use them?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Matcher-Similarities responds to 'it's the same as last time, just as good.' Matcher-Differences responds to 'it's better than last time, with new elements.' Mis-matcher-Similarities responds to 'it's different, but has a few things you already love.' Mis-matcher-Differences responds to 'this is completely new, unlike anything before.' Listen to how someone talks about their own past experiences and you'll hear which one they are, then frame your ask accordingly."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Where does the Matcher/Mis-matcher tool sit on the Winning Kite framework?"…
