: : Also, 'courtesy' or any set of rules to get along strikes me as the ugliest kind of laziness and ignores the unique needs of the individual. If they're worth my time, I will work to give people my regard where they need it most. I aim to know my people better than they know themselves.

: I must admit I confused courtesy with regard. I see this coming up over and over again, which is that often how people feel about something depends on what the word means to them.

Which is why here at 9 types I've been very concerned with definitions, what things mean. One thing I'm never sure about is whether others words actually mean the same as what I take them to mean. Being aware of such problems I understand at least one reason why Myers-Briggs and Enneagram personality tests often don't work. Oops, off topic.
