A1 As it takes two to form a relationship, it also takes two to keep the relationship going. There are all sorts of factors that can trigger problems in the relationships and one of them is intertype incompatibility. If this is the case, there are Socionics ways to deal with it. Of all the types, the most compatible types will be your Identical and your Dual. The remaining types will have different degrees of incompatibility with your type, ranging from slightly incompatible up to very incompatible. Slightly incompatible types will be Mirror and Activity, since they are from the same Quadrable and share the same values. Very incompatible will be the types from the Quadrable, which is opposite to your home Quadrable, since they have no common values to share. The types, which are from the adjacent Quadrables, will have more or less medium incompatibility, since they share only half of the same values. Ideally, it is better to avoid long-term relations with incompatible types all together. But what if you stuck with incompatible type and have to deal with it? One thing you don't want, is to make a potentially bad relationship worse. So here is what you can do: There is a fundamental aspect in the type structure: Don't question it, don't argue with it, don't waste complements on it; but do agree with it, do know what you are talking about, though. There is also a creative aspect in the type structure: Don't ignore it, don't criticise it; but do show interest in it, do ask for it. There is a communication aspect: Don't confuse it, don't fool around with it; but do make things clear for it, do give it plenty of positive stimulation. There is a sensitive aspect: Don't enquire about it, don't focus attention on it, don't discuss it; but do look after it, do pay compliments about it. Each one of these aspects has a function attached to it. Depending on what function it is and to which aspect it is attached, you can control what information this function should and should not be getting, thus avoiding potential conflicts. However, being able to adjust to others does not mean that the others will automatically adjust to you. As it takes two to form a relationship, ... -- Admin
