I've always been interested in social character as defined by Eric Fromm, here's a wiki link which isnt that bad:-
Social character - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
What I would like to ask now is does anyone think that social character corresponds with a type in the MBTI?
For instance if you take pre-industrial European society at the stage of capital accumulation through the popularity of Calvinism and the Protestant Work Ethic, would that be a particular social character, say frugal, puritan, and INTJ? And then the age of great industrialists be totally ENTJ? Or are the theories just totally seperate and its stupid to make comparisons or think along those lines?
