LSI - Stable, Rational, Conscientious -- Sees systems before people
Character Conflict: Knowing how to preserve their positive qualities (stable, rational, conscientiousness) while not falling into the trap of dehumanizing people through systemization as per the demands of "reality".
SLE - Brash, Assertive, Bold, Realist -- Overfocuses on present reality
Character Conflict: Knowing how to preserve their positive qualities (....) without getting tunnel vision to the bigger picture and focusing on short term self-gratifying goals.
IEI - Deep insight, Artistic, Empathic -- Detached, Fanciful, Self-Absorbed
Character Conflict: Knowing how to preserve their deep insight into their emotional truth and manage it in their life without being self-absorbed and negligent to reality.
EIE - Outgoing/Expressive/Dramatic/Shrewd -- Dramatic, Arrogant, Self-Absorbed
Character Conflict: Knowing how to express their message powerfully without coming off as haughty, arrogant, and dramatic because they take themselves too seriously and are overtly dramatic. Their dramatic expressions can cause the emotionality of a group of people to swell and get out of hand like a wildfire if they are not shrewd in their expressions and can laugh at themselves.
Really duality makes sense when you consider this.... The dramatic expressivity of the EIE clashes against the LSI's calmness. The LSI feels like they've found someone that imbues their life with meaning and the EIE feels like they've found someone who is calm and rational that will hear them out.
The IEI's are just everybit as dramatic as the EIE but their temperament makes this disposition calmer and beneath the surface, they are more the melancholy, detached, in their head type... where as the EIE is this type expressing itself outwardly to people.
The SLE is the same as the LSI but once again the LSI is the introverted withdrawn version of the SLE. The SLE acts quickly and hold themselves with confidence as they ride the waves of reality, whereas the LSI is more cautious taking time to make a critical decision and then acting with confidence.
So essentially the nature of the attraction between LSI-EIE is very similar to IEI-SLE, except we are switching around the introversion/extroversion between the NF and the ST. The beta NF is still absorbed/dramatic, however this disposition is turned inward, while the ST is now the one acting out. Essentially the SLE finds some purpose/meaning in the IEI's artistic/melancholy/insight, while the IEI find some experience/adventure in the SLE's bold/arrogant/assertive ways. The IEI gets to leave their inner world and have a real experience, the SLE gets to relax away from negotiating reality and consider more deep/artistic things.
