Isn't it the E/I part that determines what's internal and what's external? The J/P does not determine that. I'm an INTJ and Ni rules my world. Very internal, not external at all.Me.
I don't think it really has to do with personality type, but I would guess Js aren't very selfish because they make decisions based on external logic or values which I imagine means they consider the world's global logic or values when making decisions.
Ps make decisions based on internal logic and values, so I would guess they are more likely to be selfish. After all, they put their own values and logic above that of the world when making decisions.
For example: I know the world views selfish as negative, but personally, I don't consider a little bit of selfishness to be a negative trait because meddling and nosiness and trying to control another person's life are more likely to occur in its absence, so calling me selfish may have less of an affect on my decisions than those of someone with external values.
This probably wasn't what you were looking for, but this is what I think. :mellow:
Totally agree with this post.I think everyone's selfish, we just show it in different ways. I could never point to someone else, yet alone a whole group of people and accuse them of being selfish when I've done some pretty selfish things in the past.
Lol sorry to get you irritated with my threads.in your eyes MBTI = a more sophisticated way of stereotyping
can you please stop making sweeping generalizations? half of the trillion threads and replies you've made are bigoted and unfounded
that is something i have trouble doing, but i do and will try.*i just saved a comment i was going to type*thanks man. sorry to lash out like that, it's not the best "welcome to the forum" post. i just think you should think before typing.
so because you consider yourself selfish, you think everybody is selfish. That's not a really good argument for your claim, is it?I think everyone's selfish, we just show it in different ways. I could never point to someone else, yet alone a whole group of people and accuse them of being selfish when I've done some pretty selfish things in the past.
