Introspection

I'm all for self-examination, but this sounds like bologna to me. The real distinction to be made here is whether you are dealing with a contemplative or active person, a person, in other words, of reason or of will, whether he or she is basically a scientist, who needs to see the entire solution before acting, or someone who not merely muddles through, but elevates questions of esteem and acceptance, jealousy and envy, above those of compatibility and educability. A contemplative will be called a loner, stoic or narcissist (secondary narcissism) for wanting to participate with others on the basis of shared ideas. Actives are concerned with status or relationships, the latter, usually identified with the female sex, being based on conditions and contracts, and instead of giving or sharing, they express love through buying.
