Good question, dear Jason, even if believe Gregg has an answer to that already.
My answer is that there are just archetypes, male, female and androgynous, and the primary archetype is usually our personality type once it collides with the society we live in. Secondary archetypes is that which we can do when under pressure, ehat comes across as "theatrical" rather than "easy" for us to to perform and engage in, so it is a bridge to those who access that type primarily, and can as such also be successfully used.
Almost all diagnosed disordered types today were useful in the past but have now become more problematic due to the drastic change in demands modernity has forced on us.
However just check an alcoholic person's capacity for handling monotony of over long periods of time and you understand that the gene behind alcoholism can be quite useful and should be understood that way.
Much can be gained by simply removing medical moralism for the understanding of human beings in all their tribality. Those are my ten cents.
So yes, let's expose the hypocrisy here. Why not speak of human orders in general rather than disorders?

Hi Gregg,

I find it odd (and quite inconsistent) that you and other psychologists seem to have no problem with personality types when it comes to "disordered" personality types, but are resistant to personality types when it comes to "ordered" personality types.

What's the justification for that inconsistency?

Hi List,

  Here is an article on “The Social Leap” and how human relationships (cooperation, competition, talking) set the stage for our jump into modern people:

  Here is an article I did today, applying the Influence Matrix and Horney’s psychodynamic analysis of relational styles to the DSM personality disorders, showing that some personality disorders are polar opposites to others:

Happy weekending 😊,
