DIAD: THE MANAGING DIRECTOR - THE HUMANIST
THE MANAGING DIRECTOR
Externally severe and efficient, this sotsiotip combines propensity to two contrast enough kinds of love: Pragma and Eros: the ice and a flame, sober calculation and a passionate inclination do by its internally inconsistent person. It prefers to live reason and does not go on an occasion at the feelings. Interests of business at it often prevail of feelings and even above pleasure from dialogue with the favourite person. However periodically it suits the present holidays for the sensations.
There is a conflict when it comes to love for the LSE. In one sense, they are extremely mercenary (particularly in terms of the ethical standards of their chosen partner). They can be aristocratic in terms of the qualities of the people they associate themselves with. And when it comes to personal matters, it is easy for the LSE, who is so focused on production and also providing, to think more about work than its partner - it can put the important of work above a conversation with someone close to it.
And yet, when it is drawn to someone, attracted, and captivated.... the LSE can be extremely passionate in all forms. Erotically, a very intense desire can be created. The LSE is not one to be overtly lovey-dovey, mushy, or emotional towards its partner, however, occasionally it can dedicate 'holiday periods', or just sort of vacations, where it intensely focuses on the partner, and can indulge in various shared pleasures for a time - in contrast to its usual extremely businesslike nature.

It is the careful and reliable partner. It uses the best efforts for the one whom loves. Its partner can lack compliments and verbal expression of feelings, but the Managing director proves the love in practice, taking up the lion's share of all cares, and happens is quite satisfied, if its partner takes part in a common cause and carries out the problems demanding only attention and patience.
The LSE is extremely loyal (consider how it is hardwired to be the dual of the idealistic INFj). It is careful (in erotic role of course), and generally very conscientious of its partner (si creative), it likes to find what its partner enjoys and as such enjoys providing this to its partner. It seeks to give its best effort to the person it is closes to.
"Its partner can lack compliments and verbal expression of feelings," - that sounds like it is talking about the LSE itself, as per the second half of the sentence. Basically, the LSE shows its love by actions, by doing things for its partner. Calling them, making them dinner, opening doors - serve and protect in a general sense. ((this paragraph is confusing for me to read, I am not sure which parts are referring to the LSE or its partner)). The LSE demands attention and time spent with its partner. (remember Gilligan's thread about erotic roles and "paranoid Ni").

The partner - the assistant who will not impose to it the will, methods is necessary to it or to dictate the conditions. The managing director could seem absolutely dry, imperious and exacting person if it was not softened somewhat with presence of sensual love - Eros. Propensity to such kind of emotional behavior does it at times romantic and magnanimous in relation to object of the feelings.
The LSE will not tolerate someone who orders it around. (The INFj makes a great dual in this way, because it does not mind someone who is as administrative and controlling as the LSE). Generally speaking the LSE is extremely mechanical in its relations to people- dry and imperious are good words, imperial as well. The LSE can be extremely strict in terms of how its own life is run, and much the same when it comes to those who get close to it. However, when it is sensually involved and attracted to someone, its extreme severity can soften. When it is actually around someone it loves, it can be very romantic and magnanimous - loving, caring, protective, sensual. It wants to make the relationship beautiful, as it wants to do all things beautifully.

It is capable to be to the true elect if that suits it as the sexual partner or if it values such partner in life for practical reasons. Its feelings can long burn and brightly though the healthy pragmatism is not alien to them. At absence of reciprocity, it is capable, being guided by feeling of a duty to refuse new hobby. Pragme it subordinates frequently and the erotic feelings though can recollect still long time former love.
The LSE is very capable of having a long term relationship. (Consider it is Fi seeking, and its dual is the INFj). If the LSE is extremely attractive to it, and/or if it has a great practical reasonings (like a good person, good ethics, good situation), the LSE can make it for the long haul - but there must be good reasoning for the relationship to exist. ((Speaking for myself: the LSE can particularly be burned into liking someone, and it is possible for them to harbor long intense feelings about someone forever. There is a certain threshold, that, once crossed, is unchangable (Fi) )). If an LSE looses someone, they can remain faithful to them -- if they were really deeply connected. They can hold out their likings if the person they want does not like them right now in hopes that they would change. In one sense (again, remember Gilligan's paranoid Ni comments), they are always looking for that one person they can always be with, and, should they think you are it, they will hold out until you prove yourself to not be it. They are always looking for that one person to be "it".
Sometimes if an LSE was really burned, that feeling can harbor, particularly if they are not attached to someone at the moment. Because the LSE is hardwired for an idealistic relationship (EII dual), their is a subdued yet extremely intense passion to their feelings (Weak F in general, bad with Fe, seeking Fi). This passion will linger, as, the only way an LSE can really have a relationship is if it is one with real passion - the necessity of Eros to be involved in the relationship. The "Fire". The LSE will always have this "Fire", because that is how it goes about relationships - that is part of the relationship to the LSE. And until it has "the person" where it can focus "The Fire" on, it can harbor past experiences of that person.
The LSE always need to be loyal to someone or something, and it will hold such feelings regardless of whether or not such a person is actually in a relationship with the LSE. The LSE ultimately strives for a real relationship with that one person.
