Relations / LII and LSI

Same material relation

Kindred

LII ↔ LSI

They may agree on what matters, then take different routes to get there. That familiar starting point doesn't mean their needs line up.

Also called Comparative · Congenerity

LII and LSI stand in the same position, so the relation reads the same from either side.

How Kindred works

When it helps

Shared priorities give them common ground, while curiosity leaves room for each person's different approach.

What to notice

Similarity can invite comparison or competition. The help one person needs may not be the help the other naturally offers.

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 LII’s and LSI’s meet most directly.

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

    Both look to other people for this, so neither can easily cover it for the other.

  • Quieter linkTrust and personal bonds Fi

    An area both find demanding, so neither can easily carry it for the other.

    LSI can handle it quietly; it is a weaker area for LII.

    LII can handle it quietly; it is a weaker area for LSI.

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 Kindred.

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 Kindred guide: a place to start, not a prediction about two real people.

Why Kindred
The same broad block shape also appears in Business and Supervision. The exact order of the contacts is what makes this Kindred.
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 Kindred, checked against all 256 cells.
