Look at your day, from the time you wake untill the time you sleep. Do you think about what your plans are most of the time or do you think about everyone else and what they are doing most of the time. It's human nature to think more about yourself in order to survive and achieve goals

That is my own personal thought, sorry to include everyone.

Nah it's fine, I actually agree. If you can't look after yourself how can you look after other people, right? Even things you think you're doing for other people, there's an aspect of self-importance thrown in there too. Maybe satisfaction that you're helping someone

But I don't think that makes everyone selfish. I don't actually know many people who are totally selfish. I prefer to avoid them...

Perhaps we should start a new thread on selfishness/altruism? Do humans always act in their own self-interest? Is there such thing as altruism or do we help others just to help ourselves by extension. The dreamviews objectivists would probably get a kick out of this thread, any takers?

I think it would be a good thread, though I doubt I'd get involved. Well, maybe. Probably not. I'm not much of a debater.

I would say I spend about 75% of the time I have for thinking without interacting with other people thinking about worldly issues, poverty, oppression, injustice, etc. Many people project their own habits onto the rest of the world, believing that if they do it, it must mean everyone does. This is rarely or possibly even never the actual case.

Intj.

I've been going through a lot lately (that's why I haven't been on much) and feel like I'm changing. I took the test again and I was still INTJ but only 1 single point on the J side this time, so I'm about half INTP now. I still think the tests are bullshit.
