I'm not sure this can be classified as MBTT thing.One personality feature I've noticed that occurs in varying degrees is a need for group membership. The closest thing I know of in personality psychology would be the need for affiliation (N-affil), but need for affiliation is more of a need to connect. What I'm proposing is a need for group inclusion or membership ("N-memb").
....
I was taught many years ago that all human beings have 3 basic psychological needs:
the need for security, self-worth and significance.
Once you flesh those out, the need to belong is wrapped up in one of those words,
so in actuality all humans have a need for group membership.
Why don't you do a poll and ask?
However, you need to fully define the differences.
I think there's a lot of psychological reasons why a person would or would not feel a need to belong to a group which might have nothing to do with MBTT.
For instance, children who grow up never having properly bonded to their caregiver as a baby can be antisocial.
