I don't know that it's that we want to be more than other types, I think it's more that we would be far more crushed if we didn't somewhat achieve our goal. Not that we have more to gain, that we have more to lose than other types.

My INFP friend talks about his Messianic Complex he struggles with, and that Bono talks about. He told me in a gchat "it tends to dismiss the day to day stuff of life for grandiose struggle... you don't think you've done much at all, because to really make a difference you need to act on a totally different scale"
I think he is far more driven in a different way to be a great person. I don't know how to explain it. It is different.
