Anyone can be good friends with any type so long as the relationship remains casual where both parties can easily walk away from one another. However, when one party depends on the other to help fulfill personal goals, then relations of supervision can run into difficulty because the parties will likely differ significantly in priorities, production processes, and success measurements. SLIs seem to look upon ESEs as rather controlling, scheduled and impatient while ESEs seem to struggle to not find fault with what SLIs are doing with their lives - so much SLI potential if only it could be harnessed, a going-in approach that usually kills these relationships......
