Asymmetric relation
Benefit
LII ← IEIThe beneficiary may feel drawn to the benefactor, but the connection isn't experienced equally. Each may miss a different kind of support.
Also called Request · Social Request · Social Order
LII is the Beneficiary and IEI is the Benefactor. Swapping the order changes your viewpoint, not their roles.

How Benefit works
When it helps
They talk about what each can offer, without turning guidance into an obligation or treating one person as worth more.
Atlas editorial guidanceWhat to notice
The beneficiary may feel they can't catch up. The benefactor may find advice excessive or feel the other's response is incomplete.
Asymmetric relations. The same relationship can feel different to each person. One may look for something the other doesn't realize they're being asked to give.
Authors disagree about how the direction works
The Beneficiary and Benefactor roles shown here come straight from the archived table. A separate direct/reverse reading of Benefit and Supervision is disputed within the archive, so the Atlas does not present that variant as settled fact.
Read the competing interpretationsWhat passes between them
Every type has eight functions, from what comes most naturally to what costs the most effort. These are the places where LII’s and IEI’s meet most directly.

How this pairing resolves to Benefit
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 Benefit.
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 Benefit guide: a place to start, not a prediction about two real people.

- Why Benefit
- The same broad block shape also appears in Mirage and Semi-duality. The exact order of the contacts is what makes this Benefit.
- Model A
- Function positions and blocks come from the archived Model A and Functions pages (
