And I can cite research and experience that shows that the situation
determines behavior, regardless of person in a particular role. We can
all find 'proof' of our beliefs. My personal experience reveals something
more complex -- it's a combination of inner and outer. Sometimes more
inner forces, sometimes more outer, and sometimes it changes as the
situation changes. Human behavior is too complex to easily slot --
although this is what we all want to do so that we feel we have some
control over the chaos.
Is it situation or is it Type? IMHO the answer seems to be both AND
neither. Both contribute to the mix, but neither determines the outcome
-- it's somewhere in the _interaction_ of the two.
