A common linear-active behavior will facilitate smooth relations between, for instance, Swedes and Flemish Belgians. When members belonging to different cultural categories begin to interact, the differences far outnumber the commonalities. Commonalities exist between all types, but tend to be thin on the ground between linear-actives and multi-actives.

Figure 3.3 gives a suggested ranking of countries on the reactive scale, from strongly reactive to occasionally reactive.
Intercategory Comparisons
Common linear-active behavior will facilitate smooth relations between, for
instance, Swedes and Flemish Belgians. A common multi-active mentality will help contacts between Italians and Argentineans or Brazilians. In the Vietnam War, the most popular foreign troops with the South Vietnamese were reactive Koreans. There are naturally underlying similarities between members belong- ing to the same cultural category. When members of different cultural categories begin to interact, the differ- ences far outnumber the commonalities (see Figure 3.4). Figures 3.5 to 3.7 illustrate intercategory relationships. When you look care- fully at these diagrams, you can see that commonalities exist between all types, but tend to be thin on the ground between linear-actives and multi-actives.
