Relationships and rallying, driver and navigator

[sigma]

I was thinking about relationships and Rallying.

In rallying you have a driver and a navigator. Each of them are crucial for the success of the team.

Now, if we think about relationships you can get:
A driver and a navigator - ideal
two drivers - where you have the second driver instructing the first about how to drive the car instead of watching the map
two navigators - I'm not sure what might happen here but for sure the one at the wheel is not driving the car as well as he could
and a navigator in the driver seat with a driver in the navigator seat - same scenario as with two drivers only a little bit worst because the navigator driving would have to handle both his poor driving skills and the constant nagging of the driver in the navigator seat.

Is this metaphor valid for betas only?
Is the driver the extrovert or the sensor? I think it is the sensor.

What do you think?

I think the metaphor applies to all types.

I think sensor makes the most sense for the driver. I see the navigator as more intuitive- someone who anticipates and plans for the next move.

This metaphor reminds me of socionics relationships. Two drivers or two navigators reminds me of identical relations. The strengths are the same but you also have the same weaknesses and overlook the same sorts of things. A driver and a navigator reminds me of the duality relationship. People with complementary skills who need each other. The navigator in the driver seat and the driver in the navigator seat reminds me of two people trying to use their weak functions and failing miserably. Like an LII trying to act ESE and vice versa.

In a relationship, the static is the "boss", and the dynamic is the "follower"

So the boss can be either the driver or the navigator, since the sensor is the driver and the intuitive is the navigator, as you said

so, I guess that a sensor dynamic driver coupled with a intuitive static navigator is closer to the GPS telling the driver what to do.
A sensor static driver with a intuitive dynamic navigator is closer to a driver consulting a silent GPS just to make sure they are on the right track.

I'd assume that for the irrational Judicious dyads, the Ne driver decides where to go, while the Si navigator makes sure they actually get there.

[Brilliand]

Sensor is driver, Intuitive is navigator, Dynamic handles the details, Static knows things that aren't changing from moment to moment.

-Ne knows the destination
-Si watches the road
-Se knows the route
-Ni watches the destination

@sigma: Yes, that sounds about the same.

Innately heterosexist and stupid.

((I'm sorry if this hurts you but you wanted my honest opinion I assume.))

Also I don't know why you think you're Beta. You are clearly Delta.

You might say that, the heterosexist formula is how all life is created. (even that is stretching things but for the sake of the arguement I'll agree with you) But what makes substance and meaning and lasting emotion? What's wrong with both people driving? Why do you assume that there has to be a navigator? Both people could be drivers and they both could know where they're going, or they could take turns.

Just cause two people want to drive at the same time does not necessarily mean that they'll clash because there's just too much other information to take into consideration. It's like when two people say something at the same time and people go JINX. Similarities don't clash. It's just people hate themselves too much.

"I have a dick. You have a dick. Yeah we're not gonna make something rubbing our dicks together but it still feels good."

Also how is a pussy the opposite of a dick anyway?

Does a pussy complement a dick if the man isn't attracted to the psychology of the woman?

Aren't you more than a puzzle piece?

I'm just saying...

[Brilliand]

You consider complementary things heterosexual? There's a place for "birds of a feather flock together" but it should be obvious that it's easier to get somewhere if one person knows where they're going and the other deals with what's right in front of him - rather then both people doing one or the other. (Both people doing both would make sense, though it's more effort).

Y'know, there's nothing wrong with two drivers putzing around in a car for fun - but like in your homosexual example, nothing's going to come out of it.

I don't know if you addressed you post to me but I'll answer as it would have been. If you were addressing another participant in the thread, please ignore my answer.

I see you touch the topic of heterosexuality and I fail to understand how did what was said in this topic even touched the gender of the participants in the metaphor (driver, navigator)

Are you feeling frustrated because you have a need for consideration of your sexual orientation that is not being met by the way I express myself?

In what I express here on this forum and elsewhere I will most likely have a bias towards expressing the ideas in a heterosexual way because I am heterosexual and this is what comes easier. I'm not a fan of political correctness as I found it unnecessarily cluttering the discussion. I have no prejudice towards homosexuals.

Regarding the apologize for the hypothetical hurting, you have nothing to apologize for. If I am feeling hurt reading something that you say, it is not your saying that does the hurting but my own attitude and interpretation. These I can control so I have full responsibility for how I feel.

If you think I'm a Delta, you are most likely thinking that I am an EII... however, from the interaction I had with both SLEs and LSEs I can tell you that the difference in the quality of the interaction is... well... let's say.. HUGE... in favor of SLE

I've experienced this literally with my sle friend. we go for motorcycle rides together. he drives and I navigate. perfect. he sometimes consults me on his moves and when we go somewhere new I'm usually in charge of finding it (I'm strangely good at following my nose, we've never gotten lost).

[Hot Scalding Gayser]

Ack just no. NO. 95% of you people have no idea what you are talking about. Go outside. Throw a ball around. Look at nature. I don't know, spit on yourself. Drool. Anything! But stop posting your mental diarrhea for the world to see. Think about the children.
