none of the types will have ego, pride etc. when it comes to inferior function. all the types will be open to help when it comes to inferior function as a result.

inferior function will have low psychic energy and this will make people lazy about them.

why? because, for example, te business logic is the opposite of fi 1 on 1, customized ethics. so you hire an empathetic or at least sympathetic human resources girl to fire employees or warn them nicely when they are late to work. just, SOMEBODY! take care of this fi stuff! i will mess it up or at least it will cost me so much psychic energy to fire people in a nice way! i will look fake. te dom needs fi help this way. te dom KNOWS his or her fi is bad that way.

TE dom VALUES fi and very anti egoistical about it and therefore his or her fi open to SUGGESTIONS and help that way.

THIS OPENNESS, this modesty is the basis of dual-seeking concept in socionics.

they are not very different in real life, so fi doms help them open their own hearts too.

in this post i will prove through socionics's "intertype relations" how you can't just go call some infps in mbti iei and others eii by vibe typing or whatever.

in socionics iei (NiFe) is "most compatible" with sle (SeTi) and this is called a duality. the reason being iei has VALUED but weak Se. naturally then, sle is the perfect help with that strong Se to iei.

the same way, sle has VALUED but weak Ni. naturally then, iei is perfect help for him with that strong Ni base. (notice how the redhead on the left has some dollar bills and other papers and stuff on her hands which symbolize her future oriented and planning ni nature but she also drops some of them cause se inferior)

THEN, they help each other through their next function in line too. sle helps iei with his "creative" ti because sle's ti is always on and mature and responsible. it understands iei's more sporadic "activating" ti and supports it in a non bossy way, like a "good parent" or teacher.

in the exact same way, iei provides fe creative to sle. for example when sle triggers others with his trolly fe, iei steps in and softens the stuff in the most elegant and non bossy way so sle do not get annoyed with that puerile "fe child" of his.

NOW! what about SLE and EII though? well, that's the "WORST" intertype relations in socionics and called conflict.

in socionics, EII (the lil' princess on the right) has "Se vulnerable" aka polr aka blindspot. so of course an Se dom will be too impactful, too forceful, too direct for EII.

so "as an infp in mbti" ask yourself: how can you be an IEI in socionics and SLE can be your dual? you like neither SE nor Ti. even entps and their ti hurts you in the feels from time to time. imagine sle's much more direct ti through se. thus, you must be an EII.

thus, any TRUE INFP in mbti with te inferior and si tertiary, will be always an EII.

SOCIONICS

This system has probably done the best job at showing what a ‘perfect’ relationship might look like. As most who have studied know, it’s called DUALITY. This promises ease of interaction and very close psychological distance. Moreover, they say that meeting this individual can be the event of a lifetime, like meeting your soulmate. 

“It inspires aspects in each parties character that they had never expressed before: the pair may even drop out of society for a time in order to focus on just each other and to explore themselves through interaction.”

I would encourage people coming from Myers Briggs to not judge this based on your knowledge of that system. In a post previously I mentioned this but they don’t correspond together synonymously.

The pairing goes as follows:

ILE (ENTp) - SEI (ISFp) ESE (ESFj) - LII (INTj) EIE (ENFj) - LSI (ISTj) SLE (ESTp) - IEI (INFp) SEE (ESFp) - ILI (INTp) LIE (ENTj) - ESI (ISFj) LSE (ESTj) - EII (INFj) IEE (ENFp) - SLI (ISTp)

DCNH is another system within socionics which another form of Duality is important in a relationship.

Dominant - Normal Harmonic - Creative

Sharing the most complimentary connection in thought process is the closest you’ll get to an ideal match. Although, even that could be soured if you consider something much less deep.

ENNEAGRAM, VARIANT & TRITYPE

For the Enneagram, you want someone who’s going to bring out the best in you. That’s not a person who makes you stressed, worried, frustrated or upset. You don’t want your problems to get worse so to sort out who that person is, look no further than the growth and disintegration of your type. If we’re with someone who puts pressure on our stress fixation, it’ll really bog us down in the long run. We want someone who will help us integrate and stay positive, someone who will keep us the furthest from our issues.

1 → 7 2 → 4 3 → 6 4 → 1 5 → 8 6 → 9 7 → 5 8 → 2 9 → 3

When it comes to the Enneagram in general, we’re dealing with our problems and that’s our responsibility. Relationships should be about putting those aside, not what they look like on the person or how they’ll handle them. That kind of projection tends to lead to expectation and conflict.

Regardless, I have a theory that’s pretty interesting for tritype relations. This is mainly based on the patterns I’ve observed with the people in my life and to my understanding of the types and their needs. Here I’m looking at hornevian and harmonic groups which are tied to different styles of behavior.

Aggressive types are attracted to Compliant types. (3, 7, 8 → 1, 2, 6) Compliant types are attracted to Withdrawn types. (1, 2, 6 → 4, 5, 9) Withdrawn types are attracted to Aggressive types. (4, 5, 9 → 3, 7, 8)

Competent types are attracted to Reactive types. (1, 3, 5 → 4, 6, 8) Reactive types are attracted to Positive Outlook types. (4, 6, 8 → 2, 7, 9) Positive Outlook types are attracted to Competent types. (2, 7, 9 → 1, 3, 5)

Now, if you’re a 3-6-1 tritype who wants to find your ideal match up. Here’s my hypothesis:

3 aggressive → 1, 2, 6 compliant → 3 competent  → 6 reactive (compliant) 6 compliant → 4, 5, 9 withdrawn → 6 reactive → 9 positive outlook (withdrawn) 1 compliant → 4, 5, 9 withdrawn → 1 competent → 4 reactive (withdrawn)

And there’s your match, 6-9-4. Not saying this will work in REALITY but it’s just my methodology in the world of Ti. The dynamic will inevitably have problems but it’s set up for compromise and has the most possible shared complimentary components to it.

For the MBTI of that tritype, you can reference here.

I posted about variants a while back but here’s the gist of that:

this anime, if you didn’t know, called hetalia: axis powers. characters personify countries and italy is enfp and germany is istj.

duality (entp & isfj) : they can help each others' inferior function since entp ne all the time and isfj si all the time "without any effort". isfjs can deal with baby si of entp and entp can deal with baby ne of isfj without getting annoyed. in fact, they even get an ego boost from that help. if socionics intertype relations was a game, this would be easy mode.

activity (entp & esfj) : basically take both extraverts or introverts from a quadra and they activate each other and click quickly because "mobilizing" (child in beebe) function of one of them leading function of the other one. esfj who knows how to people can use that skill with entp too and make him like her. which, mobilize entp. at the same time, entp being funny and entertaining and stuff appreciated by esfj, very much ready to laugh and have a nice time. after considerable amount of time though, esfj gets too ethical and controlling for entp. the same way, when entp ne shenanigans directed at you, it doesn't feel that funny.

ask infx how they feel about estps. infjs should like them, since they are “se seeking”. they should be physically attracted to them. while infps should find estps intimidating. infps are si users but more importantly they are se polr. so an se dom is just too intense for them. sudden. impactful. unpredictable. angry. infps want to be petted softly in si style. they don’t like power games “at all”.

this method can be used to differ intjs from intps too. it’s just this time you gotta ask them what they think about esfps instead. intjs being se users, are also attracted esfps. the way esfps display their emotions (fi) without holding back and directly (se) doesn’t compute for intps and they don’t know how to deal with that non-sense. intjs though, find that brave or gutsy or something.

WHY entps are compatible with isfjs sexually? because entps do not value / like se so they don't like to spend unnecessary physical effort during sex as well. i mean they might and i have as an entp but that was just to impress my partner and give her more pleasure. you know, you are mine now! sex animal! rawr! etc. but if they are true to themselves and if i am honest, that doesn't work for me because clearly i am acting when i do shit like that and i can't get in the zone while acting and actually enjoy the moment sensually.

se is entp's "role function" in socionics. you can also think it as a "show off" function, that kind of role. the role entp feels like he must play. the role entp feels as though "cool".

isfjs are even more sensual and traditional so that's a match. isfj wants to be touched in a soft, lovey-dovey way. neither of these types are forceful. sensory forcefulness, suddenness and jerkyness just throws them off their si sensuality and si focus.

they need to relax, they need to get comfortable, there should be a lot of foreplay, things should progress gradually and there should be full body contact, i would argue. what i mean by full body contact is this: for example doggy style would be a minimal body contact sex position but in missionary there's a lot more skin contact.

an even better position is when the female lies down on her belly and male lies down on her.

then during this, if entp gives his isfj fe compliments in the form of whispers in the ear, then these two psychologically connects too. maybe something like: oh baby you are driving me crazy with your smell or something. or with your little butt or something.
