I ask because I am sure my dad is a Four, but I see a lot of pride, arrogance, and egocentrism in him. He is definately unhealthy and immature. Maybe it's the Eight in him. He is an INFJ, so I have wondered if he is a full blown Eight, but maybe his MBTI type makes him look softer. Maybe being a Four and Eight, both having connection points to Two could be bringing the pride out. I don't know, but I know he can be irritating as hell with his expectations he puts on people. He thinks for whatever self-entitled reasons that he has a right to go around making unreasonable demands, such as asking to know personal business or getting upset because people don't do things that they are no-where near required to do. Then he gets ticked off when he doesn't get his way, when any reasonable person would have never expected people others to go along with these things. Then after he loses the game, he goes and sulks. It makes no sense to me. It reminds me of characteristics of an unhealthy Two or One in a way, but I'm positive he is not those types, because I have never seen him up-tight over being pure, religious, or any sort of standard, unless maybe it is him imposing these things on someone else, although he used to badmouth people who would get pregnant at an early age. He does have some issue with promiscuous behavior but doesn't seem to follow these rules himself. He is a stickler about being on time. I also don't see him putting other people's needs before his own or being clingy, so I don't think he could be a Two. But damn does he have pride and entitlement.
Maybe any type could be this kind of controlling asshole if their own life is out of control...
