Binary Signs of Intertype Relations

Binary signs of intertype relationships

Preliminary remarks.

The analytical description of intertype relationships (IO), which is so lacking in current socionics, is feasible according to the same laws as the analysis of socionic types that is familiar to all socionics according to individual characteristics. For this, fifteen pairs of features are distinguished, which divide a group of sixteen EUT into two numerically equal subgroups in accordance with each feature pair. These signs are called binary (binary), since each pair of them constitutes the indissoluble unity of two opposite poles. There is no need to write for the IO any new, special distinctive features. It is much easier to use the ready-made binary signs of sociotypes included in the Reinin list.but. Such a technique is technologically fully justified for the study of a new class of phenomena. The law of the equivalence of types and relations,justified by me within the framework of the concept of relative socionics, also supports this .

There is no doubt that the behavior of an isolated individual is significantly different from his behavior when he communicates in tandem with another individual and their communication is stable. Each of the subjects of communication involuntarily adapts to the integral type of a pair that arises in this case, the choice of which is predetermined and does not depend on the subjective will of the individual types that make it up. This communicative “roof” is the third one that unites people in stable groups.

So, connecting in a stable pair, both individuals move towards (the phenomenon of enantiodromy, as Jung called it in a somewhat different context) - they develop a joint communicative shell, which provides a long-term information exchange between them. In what direction are the integrating changes taking place? The answer is simple: in the direction of amplifying in an individual those functions that support the integral type of a pair, and weakening those that destroy this type.

Knowledge of the integral type of the dyad is extremely useful for social diagnostics. The fact is that a “welded” dyad behaves as a whole against the background of other groups, that is, it is perceived by an outsider as sociable or closed, stubborn or docile, emotional or business, etc. In short, the formed dyad is much more accessible to analysis than the internal mental structure of man, forming his sociotype.

The integral type of a group, therefore, is the formation of an external order, and the individual type is an internal one. Studying the first through observation and experiment is much easier than the second. Imagine the communicative complex under consideration schematically:

Isolated  sociotype 2

Interactive-Interactive  Sociotype 1 Sociotype 2

Isolated  sociotype 2

This diagram shows that a person is isolated and a person connected in some way with another person is two completely different communicative objects. Accordingly, they are studied by various sections of socionics.

Classical socionics focuses its attention directly on the type and its impact on the external environment, which acts as a passive background. Relative socionics (from Lat. Relatio - relation), which I continue to develop in the framework of this article, studies type change under the influence of the environment, which plays a more active role than in the first case. The environment in relative socionics is described as an integral type of closed individual sociotypes. That is, the minimum external environment for a particular sociotype is the observed type itself, plus its interaction partner, and not just as the last, as tacitly assumed in classical socionics.

In addition to the four traditional pairs of Jung signs, I also attract two other most important for a practicing socioanalyst, for the binary description of types of IO, characteristic oppositions - dynamics / statics and evolution / involution. I will reveal their meaning in the relevant sections of the article. Should we be convinced that a good description of the phenomenon should strive for maximum versatility and completeness? And now a purely technical note. Since various socionic schools have not yet developed a single standard for designating IO, we will agree to apply the following letter abbreviations for sixteen intertype relationships:

• DU is duality;
• AK - activation;
• WE - mirroring;
• THAT is identity;
• H + (order plus) - direct order;
• З- (order minus) - reverse order;
• Р + (revision plus) - direct revision;
• Р- (revision minus) - reverse revision;
• MI is a mirage;
• PD - semi-duality;
• ON - repayment;
• RO - related;
• KF - conflict;
• SE - superego.

I, besides the four traditional pairs of Jung signs, attract two other very important indicative oppositions for a practicing socioanalyst - dynamics / statics and evolution / involution. I will reveal their meaning in the relevant sections of the article. Should we be convinced that a good description of the phenomenon should strive for maximum versatility and completeness?

1. Extraversion - Introversion IO.

The extraverted EUTs include AK, TO, Z +, Z-, DE, SE, KV, RO, 
and the introverted ones - DU, ZE, MI, R +, R-, PO, KF, PD.

1. 1. Surround yourself with friends and acquaintances.

Extraverted relationships are recognized by their tendency to improve with the expansion of the range of communication between interacting types. Extroversion of relations requires from partners that the number of contacts each with the outside world as a whole would be greater than the number of internal contacts in a pair.

Another characteristic of an extraversion relationship is the ease of entering into contact with a partner and a painless way out of contact. This is an open relationship and any closure leads to an increase in poorly understood problems and the struggle for leadership.

Very extrovert activation. Activation is well suited for sharing time in noisy, fun companies, frequent visits, romantic travel, as well as for large families. If the activators close on each other, there is inevitably an emotional overstrain, which usually ends in exhaustion of both.

H + - (order plus or minus) - attitude, extroverted on both sides. It should be chosen for stable business activity. Custom dyads and triads have proven to be very productive groups, implementing expansive policies in their field of activity. For a family, this relationship is relevant only when both spouses are committed to working together with many useful business contacts.

The superego relationship is characterized by the ability to sensitively catch the state and motivations of the partner at far communicative distances. A broad communication arena is needed for partners for diplomatic maneuvers. At close distances and in private, when partners are deprived of an exciting change of impressions, livability is greatly reduced.

Quasi-identity is a good match for crowded discussions. In the presence of a receptive public, partners usually support each other, pick up and develop the thoughts expressed by one of them. Bold, far-reaching projects are being drawn up. However, in a narrow circle it is difficult to understand each other: it seems that the partner does not delve into your information.

Relationships tire of temperamental monotony, require a large communicative distance and new acquaintances. There is nothing worse for them than to lock in the four walls without fresh information. Wide-open doors in the world, interest in new products and sensations support their extraverted nature.

1. 2. Spend more time together.

Introversion relations as opposed to extraverted in the presence of third parties deteriorate. In general, they tend to “encapsulate” - isolating in their own communicative space by pushing out those who interfere with the established mode of communication in a pair.

If the relationship is introverted, you will feel it through the difficulty of getting in touch. With a long parting work on establishing contact has to be done anew. However, after the "lapping" there are more significant attractive forces than in the extrovert pair. Getting out of the introverted integrated group is also quite difficult.

Introversion is characterized by dual relationships: outsiders violate their communicative comfort greatly. But it is also not possible to quickly tie up duality for the same reasons. Duality is most appropriate for an independent small family, when there is no intrusive interference of relatives, or friendship with joint pastime outside populous companies.

Mirror is a useful attitude for pair discussion. In a mirror pair, there is a qualitative analysis of the problem from two opposite sides, thus achieving a significant depth of penetration into the essence of the discussion. However, there is a tendency towards a somewhat unhealthy competition among the general public.

The same effects make themselves felt in the mirage pair. Mirazhnik much more pleasant to communicate together than in a large group. Discussions that arise due to the influence of unauthorized persons can lead to serious disagreements. Such a couple is little interested in the outside world, focuses on their internal personal problems.

P + - (revision plus or minus) allows you to establish a balance only when limiting the influence of the outside world. It is then that the educational effect is achieved - the impact of the auditor on the inner world of the audited person to change it. Intervention from the outside makes this relationship unbearable.

For a redemption relationship, bringing a discussion to a wide range of listeners is contraindicated. If in a narrow circle there is a mutual correction of behavior and the enrichment of new factual information, then extraverting starts the unpleasant process of redeeming challenging the opinions of another without convincing arguments.

The conflict relationship is introverted. The disagreements that have arisen will only swell with the intervention of third parties. The deep-seated causes of conflict are the complete opposite of the basic properties of a person when communicating face to face are not eliminated (this is impossible in principle), but are bridled and driven inside. The conflict couple becomes more accommodating with maximum isolation from external influences.

Semi-duality is becoming much more difficult than dual relationships. Closely converging with a half is not easy, it takes quite a long time. The invasion of third parties sharply violates the emotional balance in a semi-dual pair, causing confusion of partners. The closedness of a semi-dual pair is a guarantee of its stability.

2. Rationality - Irrationality of the Oncological Institute.

The rational IOs include AK, ZE, Z +, Z-, P +, P-, KV, KF, 
and the irrational - DU, TO, MI, DE, SE, PO, RO, PD.

2. 1. Warn about your intentions.

Rational relations require planning joint actions, respond poorly to surprises and random changes. Therefore, they are always clearly tracked, occupy a special place among other communications.

A couple connected by a rational attitude is forced to discuss everything verbally in order to support it, especially if it is also extrovert. It becomes inflexible: it is badly rebuilt when the situation changes, it needs time to prepare any cases.

Activation is an attitude in which it is difficult to maintain rationalism of joint ventures, but without which the activation pair falls into a strip of misunderstandings due to inconsistent behavior. This attitude requires a great deal of speech activity, an open manifestation of feelings, which rather strongly depletes partners.

Mirror - a clear and definite relationship that brings partners to the need to analyze everything. A sharp change in the current situation, requiring a change in the adjusted rhythm of life, has a very bad effect on them.

Order plus or minus: without constant voice contact and planning their affairs, the customer and the receiver get lost, their work deteriorates. The high pace of their activities can not be chaotic. Disruption of plans in a custom pair is experienced very painfully.

Audit of plus or minus: both the auditor and the audited in a debugged revision pair do not perform sudden, disruptive actions. Opposite behavior would be very destructive, since it would lead to mutual distrust. Audit relations involve joint discussion of controversial issues, otherwise accumulated problems accumulate inside. When the problem is felt, but ignored - this is the first sign of a future outburst of emotions.

Quasi-identical relationships are stable when partners agree on positions before undertaking anything serious. Otherwise, the benefits of mutual support will be small. Without preparing, without tuning in to joint activities, it is impossible to obtain the beneficial effect of quasi-identity.

The conflict attitude is also very rational, although it sounds a bit strange. The fact is that holding such opposing people as conflict-takers can only if they adhere to a system of warnings about their tastes, habits and intentions.

Conflictness, in order not to develop into a collision, needs planning for the discharge of internal emotional tension. The integrated conflict participants do not tolerate the unknown, hints, “visits” from the rear. These relations are stable only if they rely on a firm, once and for all established rhythm of life.

2. 2. Do not look for the system where it is not.

Irrational relations are characterized by freedom and spontaneity, inefficiency of a solid plan, sudden decisions emanating from the current situation. They are poorly predictable because they are built on alternatives offered by the development of the circumstances of communication. They can not live by the system.

Speech communication in this relationship is not determinative. The main thing - gestures, facial expressions, approximations, distances, that is, the whole arsenal of non-verbal communication. Perceptions in them prevail over reasoning, the ability to feel the state of another over the consistency and explanability of actions. Instead of correctness and constancy, you are confronted with something growing, then weakening desires, ill-understood motives.

Dual relations belong to this class. They are the most free and relaxed of all IOs, they exclude strict plannedness and programmed actions. The feeling of well-functioning duality in this connection is comparable to the state of weightlessness - complete relaxedness in movement with the loss of body weight.

Identical relationships are also irrational: the partners intuitively understand the motives of each other’s behavior and oppose any attempts to rationalize their behavior, to subordinate their freedom, even if fair, but to restrictions. The identical couple is extremely democratic, violates any framework and traditions.

Mirage is characterized by sporadic improvements and deterioration of mutual understanding. It requires first of all the ability to predict the behavior of a partner depending on his mood. Discussions on finding out the truth, finding a common point of view, etc. are ineffective. Mirage requires skill to make concessions. To develop any planned style of living together fails.

Business relationships develop into rivalry styles of behavior, they require constant “probing” of a competitor that is not inferior to you. In a mobilized state, relations improve, partners quickly unite against a common enemy or common difficulty. A calm state worsens them, insults on trifles begin to arise. A couple can eagerly seek out weak points in each other's position.

The superego relationship is constantly tacking, full of empty promises. Partners can say one thing in the face, and adhere to the opposite opinion. Their activity very much depends on the general condition of the couple. Attempts to put themselves in dependence partners have a stormy resistance. Such a pair is very changeable, needs a free change of classes.

Redemption is a relationship that predicts well the behavior of each other partners, which becomes uninteresting if their behavior is rationalized. This couple needs a relaxed periodic philosophizing and critical analysis of what is happening around. It is able to flexibly adapt to the pressure of the external situation.

Relationships: each other's stories are perceived as of little interest, the couple’s attention is directed to the people around them and their abilities. The more diverse and curious their environment, the better the mutual understanding in the couple itself. When making decisions together, partners are forced to strain. Little motivated outbursts of aggressiveness also occur, followed by expulsion of relationships and a search for the causes of disagreement.

In semi-dual relations, the mutual convenience of the partners comes to the first place, which is periodically disturbed by the loss of balance in communication. One gets the impression that in these relations fate plays a special role — the irrational principle that determines their development. In them, the physical condition of the partners is very changeable - health.

3. Logic - Ethics of IO.

To logical (mental) relations belong: WE, THEN, P-, DE, PO, CT, Z +, PD 
and to ethical (sensual) - DU, AK, Z-, MI, SE, KF, R +, RO.

3. 1. You have a chance to constructively agree.

Logical relationships are characterized by weak emotional responsiveness, difficulty of penetrating into each other’s inner world. But on the other hand, it turns out that they objectively analyze the situation and draw conclusions on a “sober” head. Of course, all these effects appear most vividly when two logic are connected by logical relations.

In addition, logical relations are inseparable: in them it is very difficult for partners to show a harmonizing beginning, that is, to track emerging differences, to show the first initiative of reconciliation. Therefore, if a couple broke up as a result of a quarrel, it has undergone a rupture, then it is not possible to resume relations in the same volume for a long time. AT

The mirror relations of partners study the possibilities of each other in an analytical way: all information obtained about each other is laid out “on the shelves”. These relationships are devoid of passion, they show a tendency to live in a system that over time is being worked out more and more.

Identical relationships quickly demonstrate their cold temper. Identical types easily calculate the logic of each other's behavior and therefore quickly lose mutual interest. They show a tendency to intellectualization - the importance of cognitive interests.

Reinforcement-minus reinforces the logical direction of thinking: the revision seeks to control the logic of the auditor's behavior. All irrationality does not pass by the attention of that side, which in classical socionics is considered repressed. In fact, it is the revisionist who wants to catch the auditor in inconsistency, to identify errors in his reasoning.

Logic based business relationships. They make people calculating, weighing and evaluating everything from a pragmatic point of view. One logical plan is replaced by another, each insists on its own version. Feelings are wholly subordinate to the logic of achieving success in a cohesive business couple.

In the redeeming relationship, technological flaws of each other are clearly visible. They are characterized by reproaches for lack of thoughtfulness of actions, skeptics and criticism. Emotions for these relationships are destructive: grievances sever them for a long time. Well calculating the partner’s flaws, you often forget about the vulnerability of your own position.

The business logic of both partners is developing in a quasi-identical relationship. Many business ideas come to mind. Emotions are relevant only about the success or failure in their implementation. This attitude also develops a sense of humor, generates not always justified optimism.

Order plus presupposes the competence of the customer in the face of his receiver, the ability to clearly, logically, convincingly state the essence of the matter and the need for the proposed actions. An order that is not supported by facts and that proceeds from certain emotions or ambitions does not lead to progress in these relations.

Stormy emotions are detrimental for semi-dual relationships. They must be imbued with the spirit of cooperation, rationality and usefulness of joint affairs, united in opposition to adversity and danger. Less hurt feelings, emotional outbursts and more useful things, then the semi-duality gains strength and a special charm of low-emotional comfort.

3. 2. Instead of "smart" evidence show feelings.

Ethical relations, as opposed to logical ones, are imbued with feelings and feelings, sober mind is turned off, and the impulses of the heart begin to dominate. In ethical relations, it is extremely difficult to prove anything, to come to a constructive agreement, even if you are both logicians.

Ethical relationships undergo periodic breaks: partners quarrel from time to time, but then reconcile and come together again. Subjective sympathies and antipathies come to the first place, which are difficult to reconcile.

The ethical are dualistic relationships. They are characterized by sincerity and subtle emotionality, but at the same time by reduced mental activity. The dual pair cannot work intensively, since it does not contain stimuli for strenuous work.

Stormy emotions permeate the relationship of activation. The activation pair becomes quite scattered and fussy - energy consuming. These relationships are more suitable for informal contacts than for business. Emotional arousal of activators inhibits their logical functions.

The following attitude from the category of ethical order-minus. This attitude is the most dramatic, forcing a person to experience very contradictory feelings. Having got "under the order", the person tests undoubted emotional rise. This attitude awakens the creative forces in a person, but also pushes for annoying mistakes in connection with a biased assessment of one's own achievements.

Mirage relationships have a subtle lyrical emotionality, a peculiar sense of humor. Mirage is more suitable for idle rest than for productive labor. In the mirage couple there are strong internal emotions. For the stability of the mirage partners must sympathize with each other. The logical evidence for being right in this relationship does not make sense.

Relationships of the superego at close distances are filled with frequent quarrels and reconciliations. In them, partners are involved in the search for some kind of sustainable position, which is very shaky and constantly slipping away. It is impossible to find logic in the behavior of each other. Relationships are characterized by passion and at the same time unreasonable behavior towards a partner.

Participants in conflicting relations are supposedly ready to demonstrate rationality, since they still manage to stick together despite the apparent dissimilarity of characters, but this becomes possible only through constant suppression of internal negative emotions. Conflict tips seem deliberately illogical. You have to constantly restrain yourself, so as not to strike back.

Revision-plus - the ratio of hidden, inner feelings. Despite the negative assessment of the style of behavior of the partner, the auditor forgives much of his sub-revision, hoping to “re-educate” him over time. A sharp rebuff to the actions of the precarious is given only when he completely loses his conscience and behaves in a cheeky way - he includes a reverse audit. The examiner feels pity and sympathy for the sub-Rev. He then suppresses, then encourages in the audited his weak function, but without a sound system.

To the category of ethical and family relationships. They are characterized by the fact that the partners strive for similar goals, but reach them by opposite methods. “Relatives” feel well the contradiction between themselves, but they do not immediately decide what to do with it. In these relations, reciprocity rests only on the same feelings towards someone third.

4. Sensory - the intuitiveness of IO.

To the category of sensory belong to the DU, AK, P-, DE, SE, KF, Z +, PD 
and to the category of intuitive - WE, TO, MI, W-, PO, KV, P +, RO

4. 1. Immerse yourself in everyday life, cast off fantasy.

Sensory relationships are materialistically oriented, they immerse a person in the objective world, make his thinking concrete, mundane. For people connected by sensory relationships, the work of the senses is exacerbated, they feel the world close to reality, without illusions and conjectures.

Sensory relationships are based on the physical attraction of people to each other. They should be mutually acceptable everyday habits of partners, the physical processes in them take a significant part of the time. If both partners also belong to sensory sociotypes, then all the described qualities are embodied with maximum completeness.

The touch attitude is duality. This attitude provides physical comfort, averages the tastes and habits of people united in it. Duality brings relaxation and relaxation. Gusts of fantasy give way to the efforts to achieve real well-being in the prevailing conditions.

To very sensory-caring relationships should be considered activation. However, we must remember that in providing care to its partner, the activator expects him to respond to services or submission to their tastes and preferences. Well-coordinated activation pair can perfectly settle down on its territory.

Sensually sharpens the attentiveness and rigor of the audit-minus attitude. The revisionist pays attention to the details in the behavior of the partner, controls almost every step he takes - collects reliable information about him. Being under revision disciplines a person, but at the same time narrows his mind.

Business relationships enhance the strength of sensory partners, make them more competitive, develop the ability to realistically assess the balance of power. A business couple should not take on long-term goals. These relationships encourage partners to achieve short-term goals that promise tangible returns.

The superego relationship is very pragmatic. Partners unite in a pair of superego with quite tangible, materialistic interests. This pair is able to accumulate experience through trial and error. Partners also monitor the status of each other and react very painfully if someone bypasses the other in the sense of obtaining benefits or privileges.

Conflict relations impede bold and relaxed initiatives, orient people to conservative, routine values. They are quickly extinguished "flight of fancy." Partners are successfully engaged only in cases known to them and practiced in practice.

Order-plus strengthens in a person a specific component of his thinking, improves his organizational skills, which are associated with the ability to soberly assess the situation and give clear instructions. The receiver can not be managed through enthusiasm, promises and bright prospects. Custom control is based on a concrete knowledge of the situation and experience in solving problems of this kind.

Semi-dual relationships exacerbate the feeling of one’s body, one’s physical condition in partners. Relaxing in a semi-dual relationship is not as easy as in a dual relationship. Material welfare in a semi-dual pair is ensured through joint labor. This is especially true of the case when two intuitives are combined by semi-duality. Poludualy able to realistically assess their chances of success and seriously taken only for those things that bring quick returns.

4. 2. Take a break from the world of things and momentary.

Intuitive relations, as opposed to sensory relationships, are based on cognitive interest, and not on concrete feedback. They lead a person into the world of abstract ideas and distant perspectives. These relationships do not hinder, but on the contrary, imply impractical activities and hobbies, develop abstract thinking.

In the personal relationships of the intuitive type, the platonic component prevails over physical attraction. In these relations it is useless to look for material gain - they cannot give it, especially if we are talking about the union of two intuitive people. But they have an intellectual connotation: they make you think about the riddles of the world and man, turn your thought into the future.

The intuitive attitude is a mirror one: mirror partners make many interesting discoveries about each other, reveal in themselves many new possibilities. Mirror pushes to care in themselves and in-depth reflection. The practical return on specularity is usually small.

In an identical pair of partners, they share similar views on life, one-sided impulses, and close hobbies. Plans that build identical partners for themselves are colorful and promising, but they have little chance to materialize as intended.

Curiosities are filled with curiosity in half with alarming forebodings. However, the joint plans of the partners are again illusory. In these relations, even having experienced the bitterness of the collapse of hopes, you do not lose faith in their improvement. Strengthening the intuitive abilities of partners helps them to refrain from rash actions, to adapt to each other.

Order-minus - the ratio of anxiety and negative presentiments, but at the same time being “on order” improves imagination, awakens faith in one's own strength. The sub-order often has extraordinary solutions ahead of the current situation. In a redemption relationship, you are interested in the partner’s approach, its concept, that is, the general principles of operation, not its actual achievements and current status. There is a hope to adopt its technologies and techniques, but it does not have sufficient grounds. Redeeming partners quite successfully predict each other's behavior.

Quasi-identical partners tend to test their ideas in practice, but not by gradual debugging, but by a bold breakthrough. These relationships encourage partners to take risks, wake the spirit of enterprise in them, and inspire optimism. The quasi-identical couple manages to use the accumulated in the past, which was previously rejected, to revive positive traditions.

Revision plus is also an intuitive attitude. The auditor is unable to control the behavior of the audited person in a particular situation. For a long time he influences the inner world of his ward, changing the system of his general ideas and life preferences. The audit is more felt on the psychological rather than the physical level. Its educational effect - positive or negative - is realized only over time.

Family relationships do not arouse interest in discussing specific events that have just happened to any of the partners. It is not bad for "relatives" to discuss all the interesting new items, exciting discoveries or sensations. In such a pair it is impossible to impose specific decisions or actions, only general advice on the subject is perceived positively.

5. Static - Dynamic IO.

WE, TO, P-, DE, SE, KF, P +, RO, 
and the dynamic ones - DU, AK, MI, Z-, KV, PO, Z +, PD are considered to be static relations .

5. 1. Find the power to bring about change.

Relations that fall into the category of static, are uniformly current, monotonous and boring, without any difficulty lend themselves to prediction, as they slightly change their character with time. They remain in place for a long time and only after a considerable effort is applied, they jump into a new, fixed state.

In these relationships, partners feel more uncomfortable than comfortable in terms of physical comforts, living habits, well-being and health. The fact is that the feeling of relaxation, liberation and convenience, without which the couple can not be called comfortable, although it can be harmonious, comes as a result of mutual lapping to each other at close range. The static framework of these relations significantly slows down the process of “comforting”.

P + - ( revision plus or minus ) is a process of painful leaps from one steady state to another. The auditor constantly imposes the same values ​​and behavior to the audited, and the latter resists stubbornly as well, and the ways to counteract the auditor (reverse audit) remain virtually unchanged - finding errors in his judgments and actions. Relationships require maximum tolerance and humanity from partners.

Mirror relationships make partners adherents of a single system, which should be extended to all the phenomena around. Transition to a new state is a rarity to which you need to get used to, comprehend it and draw conclusions. After that, the old system is completely discarded and dominates the new one. Mixed states, the muddled imposition of some principles on others violates the basis of specularity - analyticity. In fine-tuned mirror relationships, the main line of objections to each other is easily predictable.

Conflict relations require special static character . Conflicts preserve the existing balance of power, do not like surprises. The transition to a new mode of existence is extremely difficult, is perceived almost as a natural disaster. Partners in a conflict couple resist change, cling to the old. And just making sure that all ties are broken, they accept a new way of life.

Identical relationships are rather quickly bored with the similarity of temperaments and understandable way of life and thoughts of a partner. The basic predilections of the person seldom change during life. And if such changes take place, then their meaning and reasons, again, are easily realized. To dispel boring monotony over time becomes more difficult.

The relations of the superego are based on the restoration of the periodically destroyed equilibrium . Any rapid change is perceived in such a pair more likely from a negative point of view than from a positive one. In the mismatch of states, each blames the other. In a pair of superego, partners often consider each other to be selfish.

Business relationships are also built on a balance of power. But unlike the superego, here the partners do not restore, but rather seek to break the balance in their favor. These relationships tire of the continuous struggle for credibility, leadership, significance. In disputes, they are not looking for the truth, but grope for weak points in the position of the other side.

The partners, who are related by kinship , strive to preserve conquered positions . Despite the interest in the studies of the other, both remain unconvinced. Similar in appearance, “relatives” are inherently very different. Despite the desire for external impressions, everyone expects another to return to their usual state. The transition to the new rules of the game is painful.

5. 2. The sleepy kingdom is not about you.

Dynamic relationships are uneven - sometimes accelerating, then slowing down. They have many options, so they are difficult to predict. They are characterized by constant changes, fascinating development of the plot. Therefore, dynamic relationships can be tiring, but not boring.

These relationships are more comfortable than uncomfortable. In order to adapt to each other, it is necessary to change certain qualities in oneself. In a dynamic relationship, changes are incorporated initially, so mutual lapping does not cause any special problems.

The dynamics of activation relations is characterized by a steady increase in tension, which leads to violent emotional discharges. The activation pair is doing its best to ensure that both partners are set up, regardless of the time of others.

Large dynamics differ kvazitozhdestvennye relationship. They are enterprising and dramatic, pushing partners to take risky actions. In these relations, plans are constantly changing, and bold projects are being put forward and testing. They can not stop, take a breath. In statics, quasi-identity quickly disintegrates.

Order plus or minus is also a dynamic relationship. The customer shows constant business activity. He must be in motion, set an active business rhythm, have time to go everywhere. The ordering receiver experiences a strong emotional dynamic. His condition is dramatized: hopes are replaced by disappointments, bitterness is mixed with pleasant feelings.

For mirage relations, the variability of internal states is indicative - from a fascinating feeling of harmony to real malice towards a partner. When miragesy need to be sensitive to the motivations of the partner. The mutable lyrical and nostalgic states that periodically arise among mirazhnikov, strengthen their confidence in each other, but at the same time and generate sadness about the fragility of human happiness.

In the relationship of repayment in the first place is not the emotional dynamics, but a sudden change of actions of the partner. Relationships allow you to basically predict the success or failure of another. They have an “amortizing” effect, that is, they mitigate defeat, but they also diminish success. Partners seem to hesitate in antiphase.

In a dual relationship, contrasts of fun and boredom, pleasant communication and exhaustion await you. Dark periods will alternate with light, giving rise to the feeling of some kind of flight. Relationships resemble a slide on a well-oiled surface, where the convex parts are as many as the depressions. Partners are fully devoted to this demanding process, often completely forgetting about the problems of the surrounding world.

The dynamics of semi-dual relations are more acute and tangible. At the half of the duels there is a contrast of work and rest, pleasant and painful, but necessary exercises. Failures in relationships generate more anxiety than duality. Many thoughts about the past, about those pleasant minutes that will not be repeated. Partners are dynamizing relationships, doing things unexpected for another.

6. Evolution is an involution of IO.

I attribute to evolutionary - DU, MOT, Z +, Z-, P +, P-, SE, PO 
and to involutional ones - ЗЕ, АК, DE, MI, KV, KF, RO, PD.

6. 1. Want to be together - imitate your chosen one.

Evolutionary relations are characterized by procedural, that is, passing from the initial to the final point in the embodiment of the conceived "clean", without returns and repetitions. Such immersion in the process makes them quite detailed, and also little dependent on the will of the participants in the relationship.

In evolutionary relations, sooner or later there is a feeling of some kind of doom, when you don’t belong to yourself, involuntarily get involved in the inexorable process. At the same time, partners are practically deprived of the opportunity to influence the outcome of these relationships. It turns out that they do not have “rehearsals”.

The second distinctive feature of evolutionary relations is their convergence (convergence). Their development makes partners become like each other - becoming more and more similar. The main trend of this relationship is to strengthen in the partners the general, the similar and to erase the individual, the excellent. Therefore, their energy potential is increasingly weakened over time: their internal contradictions smooth out with time, calm down.

A very characteristic example of evolutionary relationship is duality . In a well-integrated dual pair, partners adopt so much from each other manners and behaviors that they become almost indistinguishable to an external observer. They seem to merge into one. Their socionic attributes are averaged: the extrovert becomes more introverted, and the introvert is extroverted, the intuitive becomes more specific, the sensory becomes more abstract, etc.

Convergence works with identical partners. They are so similar in their preferences, and having joined together in an evolutionary pair, they become similar to each other even more. Similarity identical at first attracts. They seek to achieve even greater understanding and in the pursuit of this process ultimately lose the result. Their socionic attributes are summed up and the contribution of each becomes indistinguishable.

The laws of evolution obey the order-plus-minus relationship . The receiver seeks to imitate the customer in his problem-solving methods, and the customer himself is not averse to teaching the receiver his secrets. Thus, over time they come closer together. At the same time, the working voltage in this dyad drops - it is exhaled, its performance decreases. The customer and receiver become interchangeable: they equally represent the dyad in the outside world.

The next evolutionary relationship is plus or minus revision . The auditor, acting on the audited person, changes his inner world in his own image. And the audited, highly, although critically evaluating the auditor, seeks to gain the same inner qualities as he has. In the process of mutual control partners hone an acceptable pattern of behavior. The tension of the audit reaches its highest point, hesitated for some time, up and down, and then noticeably weakens, which indicates that the relationship entered the final phase - fulfilled its educational and management mission and lost its energy content.

The evolutionary attitude of the superego leads to a gradual, although often stormy, equalization of the forces and emotional contributions of partners. Each participant responds quickly to imbalance. The amplitude of such fluctuations gradually grows, reaching a climax, and then begins to decrease, as partners learn to take fuller account of each other’s interests. The opposite of positions is becoming more and more smooth.

And the last relation from the category of evolutionary - repayment . It is cutting off those aspirations of partners that seem to be "extremist", unjustifiably pointed. Such a critical lapping of opinions and intentions ends with a rather tolerant attitude towards the behavior of another. And here we see the process of coming to the middle line, which suits both, although far from the original ideal.

The opposite category of relationships is involutional. Their fundamental feature is a result orientation with a poorly organized process. Therefore, the result of the activities of partners connected by involutionary relations is quick and well visible, but imperfect, not worked out to the technological details.

Therefore, with involution, there are often returns to the old, “repetition of the past,” jumps back and forth. In the involutionary dyad, the partners feel that they can manage relationships of their own free will — force or weaken their intensity. They are not immersed in the process, they are not so sucked into their whirlpool as the relationship of evolution.

Another important characteristic of involutionary relations is their individualizing action. This means that involutionally connected partners seek and emphasize in each other what distinguishes them, makes them different. In an involutionary pair, one should expect divergence of divergence in the paths of development of the types constituting it. Therefore, these relationships become less stable over time. They need to dump the generated energy, that is, to accelerate or slow down the natural course of events.

Consider to start mirroring . Mirror partners always emphasize the “reverse side of the coin” - they indicate that aspect of the problem that eludes the attention of another participant. In this way, the overall picture of the situation or phenomenon is completed and the positive result of joint intellectual work is obvious. Everyone insists on his opinion, although he takes into account the arguments of the opposite side. There is no merger, there is an improvement in the systems of views of each, which are increasingly diverging.

Involution is inherent in the relation of activation . In an activation pair, partners usually emphasize their independence, individual lifestyle, the ability to achieve everything themselves. Activators over time over-exert each other and, if you do not go through the discharge of tension, the relationship will end in an explosion. Partners periodically find themselves thrown back, but then restore their position with renewed vigor.

In business relations, partners act with seemingly similar methods, but achieve completely different goals. Therefore, increasing competition, throwing both back. After rethinking their actions, the partners come together again for a new leap forward and an even more dangerous failure. Everyone thinks that the goal for others is wrong. In the later stages of business development, any desire to be similar to each other is lost.

Mirage relations are also subject to inevitable breakdowns. In a mirage pair, partners seek autonomy, the rights to their own, distinct from other interests. Partners do not like each other's hobbies, their activity is often directed in opposite directions. In a dispute, everyone stubbornly insists on his own, not even trying to patiently explain his point of view to another. Spreading the distance or giving another freedom of action, the partners calm down for a while.

In a quasi-identical relationship, which is also involutional, at first you do not feel any particular tension. There is a hope that the partner will understand you and join your opinion. However, this does not happen. The more two people work on the same problem, the farther they go. To preserve integrity, we have to pretend that they are like-minded people. However, soon it does not save, and you have to start something new or go back to the past deferred problems.

Conflict relationships bring antipodes together - the most opposing types of people. The convergence of positions here is only short-term, during which partners can move forward significantly. In other cases, the differences are fixed. Internal tension immediately makes itself felt if the conflict approaches closer to a shorter distance than external circumstances force them. At best, everything ends with mutual banter, at worst, with forceful collision.

Kinship relations are characterized by the similarity of the objectives pursued, but the complete opposite of the methods to achieve them. Over time, related types diverge more and more, becoming the extreme positions. Dropping tensions during a failure so characteristic of an involutionary relationship, the partners begin a new round of communication, forcing themselves to forget about previous differences.

Semi-dual relationships contribute to the preservation of their own individuality. Personal skill is honed in them. Partners consult each other, but each conducts their own affairs. With joint actions too tight, one involuntarily touches the other. You have to retreat, “lick your wounds” and correct your mistakes. Relations are manageable and have a tendency to self-correction.
