Abrasive relation

Extinguishment

EIE ↔ EII

They may care about similar things but approach them from opposite directions. That can open up a new perspective, or leave both feeling held back.

Also called Contrary

EIE and EII stand in the same position, so the relation reads the same from either side.

How Extinguishment works

When it helps

Each lets the other see things differently, without expecting matching reactions or one shared way of doing everything.

What to notice

An intriguing first meeting can give way to frustration when their day-to-day responses keep missing each other.

Abrasive relations. What comes easily to one person may be harder for the other to enjoy or keep up with. Patience and clear expectations can make a difference.

What passes between them

Every type has eight functions, from what comes most naturally to what costs the most effort. These are the places where EIE’s and EII’s meet most directly.

  • Common groundExpressing emotions Fe

    Comes easily to both, so they tend to understand each other here.

Rows follow Model A’s eight function positions, from Leading (1) to Demonstrative (8); they are not a ranking of strength or value. The highlighted rows are the contacts that hold across all sixteen ordered pairs the archive assigns to Extinguishment.

Where this comes from

The relation name and roles come straight from the archived relation table, and the meeting points follow from Model A. The summaries are the Atlas’s plain-language reading of the archived Extinguishment guide: a place to start, not a prediction about two real people.

Why Extinguishment
The same broad block shape also appears in Quasi-identity. The exact order of the contacts is what makes this Extinguishment.
Model A
Function positions and blocks come from the archived Model A and Functions pages (17f5a976a93f…). These contacts hold for all sixteen ordered pairs the table calls Extinguishment, checked against all 256 cells.
