I think that my ex and I were both very similar in that we were both stubborn and reluctant to back down. We often disagreed on things and because we were so stubborn, we found it hard to resolve any conflicts. If one of us was submissive and the other is the opposite then it can also work if the balance is right. One of the most valuable lessons in life is to find a good balance of give and take. I dont know if you'll clash, but from what you have said, it doesn't sound as though you will. If you do disagree on something,, try to see it from your partners point of view and never take too long to apologise if you are wrong. These are things Ive learnt lately.
Hope my ramblings help you make the most out of your relationship.

 I would say definitely YES, people with similar tastes do attract, even more so than opposites! As you rightly said, although you have a lot of things in common, you still have different taste in other things. My husband is a psychologist and I have always loved psychology too and we have so many conversations about it way on into the early hours of the morning sometimes. He analyses everything and so do I, we both just love to know how people tick but we're very different in other ways too. Enjoy your similarities and learn from your differences, that's what we've always done and it's worked a treat!
Eve
