Attractiveness of super-ego relations

[Ezra]

I don't understand how some super-ego relationships are "better" or "worse" than others. The functional ordering in each relation is the same as in the rest, so how is it the case that they are better or worse?

dunno the answer to this but what i do know is that a substantial majority of SEE's annoy the shit out of me.

I think he's referring to some of the comments in the LSE/EIE thread.

Yes I was.

I'm not sure, I've wondered this as well (well not just in regards to super-ego relations, but all of them, for e.g. are some conflict relations worse than others?), but maybe its because of the nature of the specific IM elements and types involved? The dynamic of an SLE's Se and an EII's Fi hitting the other's PoLR might be different from (or at least manifest differently to) an ILI's Ni and an ESE's Fe.

You mean an LSI and an EII or an ILI and an SEI. I'm talking about super-ego relations, not conflictors.

I was referring to a more general point, that ANY of the relations could manifest differently (and hence appear 'better or 'worse' than from an outsiders' perspective) depending on the types (and thus IM elements) involved.

Okay, fair enough.

[Jarno]

I would also think that different subtypes could influence on the relationships as well

Very true

I don't really know where you heard about the concept of better or worse super-ego relations, so I might not answer your question, but I guess it's like with any relation, it depends on a lot more than functions how well it works. At the moment my worst relation is a dual relation. Egoism and lack of respect can ruin even duality. And I guess even conflicting relations can work well if you deal with the other person with respect and patience.
