Comparative Relationships

They are similar to relationships of distant relatives, who speak about formally necessary things in the given circumstances, respecting the laws of courtesy and hospitality, but do not particularly want to delve into details of relationships with each other.
Such conversations become boring over time. It seems that partner tries to settle problem at the wrong side, or in the wrong direction, and does not want to stand on your point of view. Therefore, the partners often strive for a compromise.
These relationships look much better in the company. Partner's behaviour is more attractive in contact with other people. In this regard, "comparatives" have something to learn from each other. Partners have chance of learning their behavioral functions. One can learn to be more self-restraint, and the other one, conversely, to be more active.
Such partners can addrees to each other for advice. But then it turns out that the counselor begins to use the obtained information for own purposes. As a result, those who asked for advice, was left with nothing, aside. The same case can be considered by partners from different angles - as if it gave the benefit to another and brought harm to himself. Therefore, the partners often seem to be selfish with each other, although they do not impose such claims directly. In the family, these relationships generate distrust to each other and do not give a sense of self-worth.
They can not collaborate effectively on account of lack of rapport. They have opposite behavioral functions. They do not hurt each other in case of having equal status, especially if both are introverts, but when one is the supervisor of another, or their positions are not equal, it can lead to disagreements and conflicts, especially in distinct subtypes.
