> Ronnie, all you need to do is to read Riso's book, Personality Types. 2 with 1W keeps things simple and functional. There is a conflict between their principles and their heart. Abstract ideas conflict with feelings, so it is hard for them ro empathise with others. They are controlling of themselves
> and others. They prefer to be in the background. 2 with 3W on the other hand, easily relates to people. They are more friendly and outgoing. They enjoy attention. Social qualities are valued more. So there you are. You are torn between ideals(1) and feelings(2). Is this of any help? Love, Gigi
Yes, that conflict between my feelings and ideals of "correct" and "right" have often pulled me apart, I just haven't realized what has been going on.
It's amazing how easily you misperceive yourself.
