Thumbs up Pass rate for type ratings.

I was wondering if any of you guys currently flying jets found the type rating easier than the ir. I am asking becauce I am currently 15hrs in to my ir and the learning curve seems pretty steep.I am just begining to grasp it. Since I started training a couple of years ago I've only known of one person who failed the type rating or was kicked off so to speak.
Having said that half of the people I know that are currently flying jets partialed thier ir one even passed his ir on the third attempt and got through the ctc atp scheme. Is the type rating generally easier compared to the instrument rating.
Your feedback will be highly appreciated.
*Its worth noting that those ir partials were mostly for small but serious enough mistakes due to the mental workload of the ir flight test based on the feedback I've got from friends that have done it.
