I was having lunch with a bunch of guys from work and an SLI guy launched into a story about a woman he met a few weeks earlier. His story was basically about how impractical and delusional she was and how he couldn’t believe that he had to share space on the planet with her, and I suddenly realized that he was talking about an IEI woman whom I know (and like).Originally Posted by Rebelondeck
IEIs and SLIs can form strong relationships if they both allow their defences down and truly open up, but the key is maintaining openness with one another. Constructive relationships with the other three in the quadra would take significantly more cognitive effort and understanding. Having admiration for another type's strengths or interests doesn't imply that one can easily find a cooperative or comfortable arrangement with them. NF-types tend to admire practical thinkers who are street-smart but often will find their methods too sharp or limited whereas some of those practical people tend to find NFs too out of touch with reality......
a.k.a. I/O
To be fair, my SLI ex really likes her IEI hairdresser.
And while my LSE mother hated her IEI sister with a passion, my SLI father never said a word against her.
And while the female IEI that I like actually lived with a rich LSE for about six months, he eventually kicked her out, which was very tough on her. I mean, he was a rich ex-Marine living in a beautiful house.
Now, this may give the impression that Delta's opinions of IEI's can go either way, but in reality, what I see is that their opinions go from carefully neutral appreciation at best to outright hatred, and where it is on this spectrum seems to be related to the amount of their mutual exposure.
