usually I am either INFJ or INTJ as far as I recall. It seems to fit. But then so do a lot of things. Types are never that precise so it's easy for them to fit most of the time.
As for opposites attract, that's another cliché, that of course, also fits sometimes. So it's always partly true.
In my own experience, I have been the most attracted to people who think similarly to me. The better I am able to share my thoughts with someone the more connected to them I become. I haven't really had any relationship with someone who had the exact same tastes as me, but generally they all had some things in common with what I liked or was interested in.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
