People conform to certain stereotypes, sometimes knowingly,
   sometimes unknowingly. Mind you,, most people believe that
   they're "normal". That's a stereotype. Of course there are
   different stereotypes of normals to different people, but every
   culture has some sort of stereotype of normal that they
   basically accept.

   While I believe we're all individuals... at the same time, our
   mannerisms, assumptions about life, how we think, doesn't just
   fall magically from the sky either. We're shaped and work within
   those shapes, sometimes busting free of them and absorbing other
   shapes. Ok, that doesn't help an ISTP at all does it?
