introverted Idealists and seemingly fair-minded introverted Rationals will both alike stoop to racist
tactics, all the while believing that their behavior is justified by their suffering. Indeed, there is a
strong element of the self righteous, hypocritical Pharisee in all type bigots. They wash their hands
in perfect purity as they decry other types' sins, and remain convinced of their own humble
superiority.
The opposite of a type bigot is an educated, compassionate realist who embraces the spirit of the
MBTI.
The spirit of the MBTI emphasizes understanding, acceptance, and a balanced view of our
weaknesses as the counterparts of our strengths. Furthermore, it affirms the dignity and worth of
every human being rather than dividing people up into superiors and inferiors. The MBTI
acknowledges that bad people come in all types, but it insists that poor type development is not the
same thing as a bad type. This philosophy is not political correctness or "everyone's a winner." It is
reality and basic decency.
We can use the MBTI to become better people and overcome our weaknesses, or we can misuse it
to hurt a lot of folks' feelings and abase ourselves by playing the part of neo-racists. We're better
than that. Let's lift people up, encourage them, and make the type community a welcoming place
for all types. Let's treat other types in the spirit of the MBTI.
