Individualism: Refers to the extent that you value independence and personal uniqueness. Highly individualist people value personal freedom, self-sufficiency, control over their own lives, and appreciation of their unique qualities that distinguish them from others. The following graph shows the range of individualism in general. However, keep in mind that the average level of individualism is higher in some cultures (such as Canada) than in others.



Collectivism: Refers to the extent that we value our duty to groups to which we belong, and to group harmony. Highly collectivist people define themselves by their group membership and value harmonious relationships within those groups. The following graph shows the range of collectivism in general. However, keep in mind that the average level of collectivism is lower in some cultures (such as Canada) than in others.

So, a little bit more collective than individual.

I think the two might actually be closer -- it's just my 4-ness screaming "Yes, I'm unique". In real life, I blend in and make sure the group is happy and just "do my own thing" privately (in my head)...
