My speculation re: introversion and the poor has to do with the fact that the introvert, being himself more likely to think of relative poverty ( I don't mean actual hunger or destitution) as "no big deal," is likely to think of others' relative poverty as no big deal. I could quote Jung somewhat to this effect, but won't bothe bes Dan On 1/18/2012 6:32 PM, JustaJungster@... wrote Ah, Dan, I long ago decided to not get into a sparring match with you, one, because you can spar better than I, and two, our world views seem so far apart that it seems unlikely the twain shall ever meet.  However, I can't let this statement go by re: introversion and compassion. I'm a very strong introvert and yet I contribute to many different kinds of "help the less-fortunate" groups. I fail to see the connection between introversion and what you seem to be suggesting is a lack of compassion. BTW, I'm far from the "upper middle class" from which someone mentioned that most Jung students seem to come. Lower middle class might fit if I made more money, though.  Blissings, Sam Search for Soul https://sampatron.wordpress.com Just because I believe something doesn't mean it's true. Just because I don't believe something doesn't mean it's untrue. Don't believe everything you think.   In a message dated 1/16/2012 02:23:26 Central Standard Time, dwatkins9@... writes: If it is indeed the case that Jungians as a group are less likely than others to help the less unfortunate, I wonder if it is not in part because introversion is more prevalent among Jungians than among the general population. fwiw. No data, just a guess in response to another observation. regards, Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
