Quasi-identity relations - Intertype relations in Humanitarian Socionics

In a quasi-identity relationship, co-existence can be peaceful, especially if the partners are logical, but it turns into a showdown if the partners are ethical. The coincidence of subtypes is also very important. When there are different subtypes in communication with the quasi-identical, then there is an internal tension and condemnation of their actions. It can, however, pass when the partners are united by one business and depend on each other. The first concession is usually made by the irrational, and the rational accepts it.

As a rule, a quasi-identical partner does not touch your weak points. There is no threat from him. But you don't feel equal, either, as in a business relation. Such person seems less capable than you, but in those questions that you do not succeed, for some reason achieves much more. Because of this, the self-esteem of both suffers: this situation is perceived as an injustice. The most unpleasant thing in a quasi-identity relationship is the inability to fully understand a person. There is always the problem of "translating" their information into one’s own language. What is written by the quasi-identical is almost impossible to read. Deciphering their information takes a lot of effort and seems useless. One doesn’t like the works of the quasi-identical. The conversation with the quasi-identical is not difficult, but it does not bring satisfaction. They seem to deliberately obfuscate everything, complicate or simplify it, or lead away. The main argument: the same thing can be stated in a different, understandable language.

In the relations of the quasi-identity, you can find common topics for conversation, worry about the same things, but the quasi-identical see very different ways out of a difficult situation. Over time, the feeling of wasted time begins to haunt the partners. Therefore, nothing particularly binds them, and they part easily, without regret. The relationship of quasi-identity is rather colorless, to which the saying "You have your wedding, and we will have our own" is well suited.
