I have a male friend I’ve known since high school. We both went to different Universities. We both found that after our graduations we shared something in common, the lack of a so-called ’student life’ during our times spent at our chosen Universities.

After spending many weekends making up for this apparent lack, going out to bars, clubs and what-not I decided that this friend was representative of an Intuitive-Logical Extrovert type, otherwise known as an exploring Searcher.

It’s generally not hard to understand an ‘extrovert’ and this guy was no exception. He would readily chase me up to get me, or rather us to go out. Now since he and I form a ‘mirror relation’ within the same quadra we got on quite well.

As an introverted type I always had to push myself to appreciate his need for extroversion. Over time I did quite well and learnt the art of clubbing which fulfilled some need for a time.

We’ve now moved into the realm of girl-friend searching. While my ILE friend can get himself in a good social situation where there are possibilities he is yet to get what I would call a result. I personally have had more luck with meeting people in-person off the net.

Mirror relations are said to be mutually corrective which generally means we throw a lot of constructive criticism around for each other’s problems and issues. From being told I need to get out more to debating our strengths and weaknesses in relation to achieving our shared goals.

In conclusion, ILE types tend for me to get what they want as they can be impulsively assertive. Although I can pretty much be myself with this type I do feel the repulsive nature of this relation where information passed between us becomes unreceptive over time.
