True, I think we just misunderstood each other. I didn't mean that all the different types weren't available to everyone. We all have a collective unconscience (according to Jung) and therefore all have the same pool of possible selves to create our persona from though we have tendencies towards types that fall within our heritage/environment. What I meant was that changing ones personality rarely occurs and it is even rarer that it should occur without some life altering trauma to induce it. So what I meant, was that for most people personality type is pretty much set after it develops though ideally we can dissolve the persona and even the ego to transcend our individual existence. This is very hard and happens in only a fraction of a percent of people.
