1) the 3's actions revolve around other people's opinions
nope. the core focus of a 3 is external validation. the opinions of others are only one such form. other 3s look for other forms of validation, such as reaching a financial goal, or making a scientific discovery.
2) 3s love to brag
sometimes sexual 3s like to brag overtly, but overall, 3s tend to be more socially prudent. after all, what effect would bragging have on their image? probably not a good one
3) 3s are sensitive and their egos are easily offended
no again. 3s are a forward looking type. they're much more focused on their goals and ambitions than they are on you.
4) 3s are very conscientious in a similar way to 1s
no. type 3 and type 1 are miles apart internally. the 3s motivation is selfish. they are the bird of paradise dancing for a mate, the alpha wolf seeking to prove his dominance over the pack or the little kid trying to max out his score on a video game. they are somewhat perfectionist, but overall the 3 is more concerned with
- how do I get it done
- how do I get it done fast
- how do I do it in a sexy way
the 1's focus is more lateral, scanning their environment for mistakes, imperfections and sinful conduct; the 3 on the other hand has tunnel vision. if most people are human beings, 3s are human doing and what they are doing and the future success/fame/glory etc that the said project will bring them.
5) 3s have a tendency to become histrionic
no, this is actually more of a 7 thing. again, histrionic displays would only serve to hurt their image and avert focus from goals. 3 is in the controlled/competency triad along with 1 and 5 and generally do not act impulsively/chaotically the way a less socially aware type might.
PS: I have no intention of this thread turning out like the last one I made on a similar subject. if you have issues with my posting style, think I'm stereotyping, etc. let's handle it like mature adults, via private message. other than that, enjoy and feel free to add or voice your disagreements
specifically, I'd like to hear from some 3s
