Same material relation
Identity
ILE ↔ ILESharing a type can bring the relief of feeling understood. These two often recognize each other's priorities and ways of thinking.
ILE and ILE stand in the same position, so the relation reads the same from either side.

How Identity works
When it helps
They learn from each other's experience and enjoy not having to explain every part of their thinking.
What to notice
They may also struggle with the same things. Understanding each other isn't always the same as being able to help.
Same material relations. These two may recognize something familiar in how the other thinks or works. What they share depends on the particular pairing.
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 ILE’s and ILE’s meet most directly.

How this pairing resolves to Identity
Both types’ eight functions, side by side
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 Identity.
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 Identity guide: a place to start, not a prediction about two real people.

- Why Identity
- The same broad block shape also appears in Mirror. The exact order of the contacts is what makes this Identity.
