: As an 8 - don't like 1s and they don't like me. Have learnt that going out of my way to offend them is not a good way to deal with this, however. If they are prissy it's not my problem. They might be really happy. Who knows? : I'm not overly fond of 3s, but they're really easy to "service". Tell them they look great, let them get their horoscope read out first around the water cooler in the morning and you're fine for the rest of the day. Sad, but very easy. : 4s - I just tune out when it gets really bad instead of taking it all on like I used to. : 7s - have to keep remembering not to sleep with them, as devilishly attractive as the proposition might seem at the time (they never live up to their advertising). But I have a boss who is a 7 and she is an inspiration. : : Other 8s - I'm learning to drop back and observe (and learn painful lessons. Ouch. Am I really THAT loud, THAT bombastic, THAT arrogant); 6s - can't get my head around just WHAT that type looks like, but the one that I know really well has always been a great, kind mentor. : In student politics It used to be my "job" to nurture 5 boys, but don't really know many 5s now, I don't think. Admire 9s, but wouldn't want to be one. Learning to like 2s, as I think I am answering to one at work. : To summarise - I am learning wit the help of the Egram to get along with other people and realiss that they are not the same as me. I am learning to avoid certain types and behaviours that have undone me on the past. : : : How much weight do you think Egram personality types carry in the definition of Predjudice? : : Meaning, (i'll use myself as an example) I've never been known to mesh well with 2w1s for reasons paticular of the 2w1's personality. If I meet a 2w1 , speculating that i can definately identify h/her as a 2w1, and I immediately know to not befriend h/her because of h/her Egram personality type, would that make me predjudice? thats a scary thought. : : or would it be that im using the Egram to know i do not prefer this personality type in my life so therefore, why not save myself the hassel? : : I also never mesh well (to say the least) with other 6w7s but we won't go there just yet cuz the question, "am i prejudice against myself?" could get even scarier. : : My forever too vague to be useful buddy, Webster, defines predjudice as: An unwarranted bias; prepossession; detriment; injury : : Would a bias toward one's Egram personality type be considered unwarranted, unjust and predjudice? just as a bias towards one's religion, nationality, sexual orientation, etc. is predjudice and down-right ignorant. : : can anyone make sense out of the sense i think i've stopped making? : : -Sarah
