Abrasive relation

Super-ego

SLE ↔ IEE

Each may admire something the other does well, while feeling less sure of that same area in themselves. Closeness can make this more delicate.

SLE and IEE stand in the same position, so the relation reads the same from either side.

How Super-ego works

When it helps

Tact and personal space let them appreciate their differences without needing to match each other.

What to notice

Admiration can turn into rivalry or criticism. Either person may feel the other is overlooking what they need.

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 SLE’s and IEE’s meet most directly.

  • FrictionSLE → IEETaking action Se

    Comes easily to SLE; IEE can keep up, but may find it tiring over time.

    SLE leading · IEE role
  • FrictionSLE → IEEHow things fit together Ti

    Comes easily to SLE, but it is a sore spot for IEE, so confidence here may land harder than intended.

    Comes easily to IEE, but it is a sore spot for SLE, so confidence here may land harder than intended.

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 Super-ego.

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 Super-ego guide: a place to start, not a prediction about two real people.

Why Super-ego
The same broad block shape also appears in Conflict. The exact order of the contacts is what makes this Super-ego.
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 Super-ego, checked against all 256 cells.
