People have said that they like Socionics better because it goes more into intertype dynamics, where MBTI doesn't. But what is Beebe's model but the groundwork for the same dynamics. That is what attracted me to it in the first place, and still makes me think of it as the most complete.
Problem is, there does not seem to be any complete listing of all the intertype relations. You find only particular examples in Beebe's articles/interviews or knowledgeable people's discussions. I recently even contacted him, asking which article would contain the most information, and while he pointed to "Understanding Consciousness Through The Theory Of Psychological Types" which contained a lot of useful information about how he put together the model (goes more in depth than "Evolving the Eight Process Model"), it doesn't go into examples for all type relations, and apparently, he has not put together any such project.
So here I propose names for all of the type relations, which do imply what the relations would be like. A few concepts are taken from Socionics, as they seem like good descriptors, and for familiarity sake.
Compatible (same quadra)
XXXX Identity (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 = A1, B2, C1, D2, A2, B1, C2, D1)
yXXX I/E companion (2,1, 4,3 = B2, A1; D2, C1; etc)
Xyyy [right/left brain] counterpart (syntonic block opposite); (3, 4, 1, 2)
yyyy syntonic opposite (aka "dual"; Beebe: "inverse relationship") (4, 3, 2, 1)
Incompatible (alternate quadra)
yXXy dystonic parallel (opposing personality/attitude-antagonistic) (5,6,7,8 = A2, B1, etc.)
XXXy J/P antitype (aka Quasi-identity) (B1, A2, D1, C2, etc)
yyyX dystonic block opposite (7,8, 5,6, etc)
XyyX dystonic (total) opposite (McAlpine, "Dynamic Opposite") (8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1)
Rationally compatible (adjacent quadra)
XyXX rational comrade/(kindred) (A1, C2, B1, D2 etc)
yyXX rational semicomrade
XXyy semi-benefit [because of shared hero-child relationship with common S/N "language"]
yXyy irrational semiopposite
Irrationally compatible (opposite quadra)
XXyX irrational comrade/(kindred) (D1, B2, C1, A2)

yyXy rational semiopposite (semi-dual)
