Perception being directed maybe
too far inward, focusing on the preconstructed template far more than external reality (or rather,
mistaking fragments of the preconstructed template for fragments of external reality).
Of course, it’s possible that I’m the one who’s doing it, and the reviewer isn’t doing it at all.
It just seems to me, though, that when someone exaggerates a point (the way this reviewer, imo, is exaggerating the lack of worth in this book’s description of ‘introvert’) to the extent they appear somewhat short-sighted, it’s more because of some issue within the person more than it is because of some issue with whatever/whoever they are criticizing. I just know that personally, in reading it, I got the impression that person is trying to resolve their own issues between that divide between proper ‘science’ and psychology- and their own issues interfered a bit with their review, with the ability to take in what’s really there and evaluate it’s worth effectively (some baby fragments got thrown out with the bathwater). It’s almost embarrassingly clear in IxxJs when this is happening (which I suspect is Pi-dom related).
[edit:] Even if it weren't mentioned that the reviewer is INFJ, I'd still think there was some of this going on (I wouldn't even presume the reviewer was any specific type, I'd just think this was going on). It embarrasses me a little to see it going on in other people because it really embarrasses me when I notice I'll have been doing it myself.
