English term or phrase: direct and indirect people
“People who are more direct say what is at the top of their heads, they might speak faster, they are more animated... they tell you if they are in pain” ...“Indirect people use less body language, they might not look you in the eye, and they are less likely to tell you directly what’s going on.”

Речь идет о двух разных типах личности и характерных для них моделях поведения. "Открытый, прямой, прямолинейный человек vs. ...? (варианты: скрытный, замкнутый и .т.п. мне не нравятся) Не хотелось бы, чтобы этот антоним звучал как нечто отрицательное. Опять же, потому, что это всего лишь два разных типа личности. При этом, нельзя сказать что кто-то "плохой", а кто-то "хороший". Они просто разные.

Спасибо!

Explanation:
Может быть такой вариант подойдет, если попытаться классифицировать данные типы по степени замкнутости, общительности.

Explanation:
Исходя из нижеследующего объяснения, я бы предложила этот вариант.
The top left quadrant should be Direct/Open, the top right Indirect/Open, the bottom left Direct/Closed and the bottom right Indirect/Closed. These will represent the four behavioural styles.The two Closed types are soulmates and the two Open types are soulmates. In each soulmate relationship one person is direct and the other is indirect with very rare exceptions. So each romantic soulmate partnership consists of both either being Open or both being Closed, while one is direct and the other is indirect.Open people do not mind revealing personal information and so the two Opens get along well together. Closed people do not like revealing personal information and they get along well together, but they do not mix well because they are too different and almost never become long term romantic partners because the conversations between the two are not alike. Open people like to talk about feelings and emotions while Closed people like to speak about facts, success and competition so the two are not very compatible except in a social environment.Direct people are leaders and have loud, clear voices while indirect people are followers and speak softly most of the time. The Direct person likes to talk and the indirect person likes to listen which is why the opposites get along very well in long term relationships.
So the soulmate for an Open/Direct is the Open/Indirect and the soulmate for the Closed/Direct is the Closed/Indirect.
