I can relate to that. Except I don't care so much about power over others but I have a strong need to be independent and not be controlled by others.
Just curious; do you ever insist on having your way, or doing things your own way when with others? Or, persist and hold your ground in conflict? That's actually what I had in mind by "fighting for power". The very example I was thinking about was the battle I was in that occurred right here last summer, which had spilled over from somewhere else years ago, which you may remember (as you were briefly in that thread).
I wasn't trying to have power
over anyone, just maintain my own ground against perceived disrespect, but I go about it in an aggressive, persistent way, where others would likely back off quicker.
For this blend, again, it's a bit different, because the Supine so tempers the Choleric, so that we're not directly
going out to control others. Basically, Inclusion or the Interaction style covers how quickly we
approach others, so it influences Control. Someone outwardly "controlling" is likely someone quick to approach others, which would likely be an extrovert (Sanguine or especially Choleric in Inclusion).
With this blend it would be
once we are already in an interaction with someone, then we tend to want people to do what we want, or push to maintain our stance. And this would come from the iNtuition and Thinking together, because NT's have this strong sense of how things "should be", logically or impersonally.
This doesn't seem like "control of others", but (as I've been told for years) other people do see it that way.
And something like that is hard to see in onesself anyway —it feels more like part of the "not being controlled by others"; basically a more
defensive "control or be controlled". That's certainly how I feel in those situations. So no, I don't "care for" power struggles either; I'd rather have peace, but this world won't give Supines/(Behind the Scenes) peace, so its like a necessary evil.
And again, you can even see some evidence in Keirsey's books.
