Yeah, it is important to me too.
I worried if I was being snobby as well, but feel pretty reassured after reading peoples responses here (phew!)

I need someone who can think quickly and on their feet
And understand my jokes
And appreciate how important research / uni is to me
And be able to think abstractly to understand me

And all that is just part of feeling like I 'click' with them. Of course there are other things as well. Sensitivity and the ability to read my emotions. Not perfectly - but to get it when I am feeling upset or distressed and not just to keep blundering on.

But I do think all of that is important with respect to me feeling like we do click.

I worry sometimes that I am over-picky or that my standards are too high or something... But, I don't know...

The t I got on with really well was actually a history lecturer / researcher who turned to clinical psychology comparatively late in the day. We got on great - but I was a bit freaked when I found out (after she was well gone) that she had an academic background herself.

But maybe that was an important part of why we did click.
