I hadn't noticed this about you. You seem to keep your hatred under control.I hate the thought of being incompetent or incapable.

Why do you hate Charlie Sheen so much?Winning is only as important or meaningful as your personal investment in the competition. The futility of it all shines through when you analyze just how temporal that feeling of being a "winner" is.
I couldn't agree with this more.

And I wonder if competition in NTP types has more to do with play? Like chess, poker, other strategy games, debate, etc. It's all competition, but it's all in good fun.
But when it comes down to being competition in, say, the corporate world or with grades/money/etc. there's not much of a drive.
Least I can see how that applies to me.

their diet may be mostly of plants, occasionally some meat but mainly plants, sort bordering on vegan or vegan.
Usually it depends on how much i enjoy the activity. The field that I'm aiming to be a world-class is financial markets trading. If i met a really sucessful trader nothing would really change, I'd still want to be the best in the whole world.what if you met someone with much more superior intellect then you and was more successful? only then would you get competitive?
Definitely more intellectual, material things are more like ''consequences''.it would be more intellectual right? rather then having material things?

I'm competitive mainly with myself. It bothers me when I feel like I'm not improving in some area important to me. I don't like competing with others much but I see it as a necessary evil. The reality is, you have to compete some. You have to compete for jobs. You have to compete to get into a good college. Companies compete against each other. If your company falls too far behind another company, the company goes out of business and there goes your job.
Although I'm not the sort to deliberately enter competitions, I do find myself comparing myself to others too much. I can't stand it when others get ahead of me when they've seemingly put in less effort. This is especially true in areas of importance to me. I don't have the competitive drive to reach the very top but I guess you could say I'll compete just enough to reach a decent position.

You're an INTP again?
This is the mix of the Interaction Style with the conative temperament. Interaction Style, which is basically a social skills temperament, is Phlegmatic, or a newly discovered one, called Supine. These are both very passive, from both the introversion, and perceiving, of the INP preference.For some reason, I have an image in my head of INTPs as sloth like, moving when necessary, slow sometimes. their diet may be mostly of plants, occasionally some meat but mainly plants, sort bordering on vegan or vegan. how off am I? are Intps competitive? what does INTP competitiveness look like?
