Have you ever interviewed someone to be your partner? What kind of qs did you ask and how did you know they were “the one”? I’m getting the opportunity to be a part of the partner search at my agency but as a people-pleaser, I’m finding it hard to be discerning over who would be a great fit.
Also would you do with the person with an uninspiring portfolio but lovely personality over the person with a killer book but a little hard to connect with?

I’d go with the one who has better work, tbh especially if you yourself are a people pleaser.

Sure you want to be friendly with your partner but you aren’t hiring for the role of friend. It’s your career and you don’t want to hitch it to a good friend who doesn’t help you come with (and sell and produce) good ideas.

Take the one with the good book and tougher personality, you’ll need to rely on them to be bad cop when it comes to pushing back on account to get your work made properly
