MBTI: Social Reactivity and Social Status
faustin and I were discussing the differences between E and I yesterday (he dislikes the terms stronglly) and I talked for a bit about social valences (the number of sites and degree of bond strength/type of connection we form with people), and social reactivity (how whole they are -the difference between a noble gas and a unstable element). During the social reactivity we started talking about actors (which he has been hanging around doing doubles work). I generally dislike purely entertainers (which I'll include social butterflys), purely creative types, and purely dominate leaders as they are so dependent on others evalutations of them or their work to derive their own self value (ego charge maintenance), and thus susceptable to their influence of those people which may complete be unappropriate for them (or blinded by their own need to lead)..and this makes them low social status (in my head) even if they are objectively in high places, and are brilliant at what they do, where as most people I truly like (even if we disagree) can entertain, lead, but they generally have a choice in the matter, since they are relatively whole/nondependant on others for their determination of self worth and happiness. Even if they do the exact same thing, Their motivations and source of happy are different percentage. e.g. most my favorite entertainers/leaders/creators are social scientists, observing, trying new things on the social medium instead of some other substrate, advancing their own theories and frameworks, even if they differ from my own.
