Here is how I've come to view supervision relations.


Supervisor: I respect their use of (my creative function), but why can't they use it for (my leading function)? They are (negative traits of people who are bad at my leading function)


Over-exposed supervisee: I spend all this energy on (my leading function), but if I can't use it for (my vulnerable function), what's the point? I'm so (negative traits of people who are bad at my vulnerable function)


How this works out in the 16 particular cases:


ILE on LSI:
I respect the consistency and coherence in their words and actions.


So why can't they use that to discover new truths about life and people?


They seem so closed-minded and inflexible.




LSI on SEE:
I respect their commanding presence and ability to push through.


So why can't they use that to create and advance a fair and consistent worldview?


They seem so flighty and random.




SEE on EII:
I respect their relationship-building abilities and emotional depth.


So why can't they use that to get what they want from their life and other people?


They seem so passive and afraid.




EII on ILE:
I respect their sophisticated insights into life, people, and the big picture.


So why can't they use that to build and maintain interpersonal harmony?


They seem so tactless and out-of-bounds.




LII on IEE:
I respect their sophisticated insights into life, people, and the big picture.


So why can't they use that to create and advance a fair and consistent worldview?


They seem so flighty and random.




IEE on ESI:
I respect their relationship-building abilities and emotional depth.


So why can't they use that to gain insight into life and society?


They seem so closed-minded and inflexible.




ESI on SLE:
I respect their commanding presence and ability to push through.


So why can't they use that to build and maintain interpersonal harmony?


They seem so tactless and out-of-bounds.




SLE on LII:
I respect the consistency and coherence in their words and actions.


So why can't they use that to get what they want from their life and other people?


They seem so passive and afraid.




ESE on SLI:
I respect their detail-oriented good taste and physical awareness.


So why can't they use that to create their desired emotional atmosphere?


They seem so dry and uninvolved.




SLI on LIE:
I respect their pragmatic quick thinking and objective goal-orientedness.


So why can't they use that to establish a sustainable equilibrium in their own life, home, and body?


They seem so stressed and un-centered.




LIE on IEI:
I respect their prudent wisdom and their sense of how events will unfold.


So why can't they use that to actively solve problems and achieve goals?


They seem so sluggish and ineffective.




IEI on ESE:
I respect their ability to emotionally impact those around them.


So why can't they use that to act appropriately within the narratives surrounding them?


They seem so blind and directionless.




SEI on EIE:
I respect their ability to emotionally impact those around them.


So why can't they use that to establish a sustainable equilibrium in their own life, home, and body?


They seem so stressed and un-centered.




EIE on ILI:
I respect their prudent wisdom and their sense of how events will unfold.


So why can't they use that to create their desired emotional atmosphere?


They seem so dry and uninvolved.




ILI on LSE:
I respect their pragmatic quick thinking and objective goal-orientedness.


So why can't they use that to act appropriately within the narratives surrounding them?


They seem so blind and directionless.




LSE on SEI:
I respect their detail-oriented good taste and physical awareness.


So why can't they use that to actively solve problems and achieve goals?


They seem so sluggish and ineffective.

Does that make sense?
