I'm not saying you are playing a game, I'm saying let us not get caught up in that game. :)

By who's standards are you determining "undeveloped personal communication and and awareness skills" and where the does the implication of a lack of "adaptation and flexibility" come from? Where also the idea of "blame." In this thread I have been trying to provide what might be reasons (not excuses) for certain actions - not blame. What I was trying to point out with the majority/minority thing is that much of a person's ways of behaving can be influenced by this dynamic, on micro and macro levels. Take for example an introverted 5 in a family of strong extroverts. Without an awareness of these differeces the young 5 may never feel that they get the space they need - something they will ALWAYS, no matter how healthy they are, need more of than an extrovert. This lack of a good amount of space for them can create an increased desire to pull away more, thus to get to the point of thier introversion being a real hinderance.
: WingPrayer,

: Game? I'm not playing a game with you.

: Why might you blame the outside world (the majority) for an undeveloped personal communication and awareness skills? Are not adaptation and flexibility 2 prime components of social interaction?
