I wish to have respectful, enjoyable, and productive conversations. Part of achieving that goal is selecting the people I interact with.
Being a Type 2 - the “disagreement not taken as an insult” crowd, I can have the most productive conversations with other Type 2s. I’d argue that a Type 2 to Type 2 discussion is the most productive of truth, as more effort is spent on effective communication of content, instead of managing the state of the other person.
I think that’s the more general difference—the degree to which one habitually manages the state of others, and expects to have one’s own state managed in turn.
Seems like the people who are bad at managing the state of others are doomed to have productive conversations. Or no conversations at all… depending on their environment.
