When someone is viewed by yourself as The Selfish Bastard™
it is yet another observable behaviour which can make it easy for you to pick their pattern.

Is the other person 
							mentally ill?

You will most likely need assistance :-) This might tell you what but it will not tell you how.

Here are all sixteen patterns, all selfish so you will be here as is the case with all types of behaviour described on this site and on countless other sites on the Internet.

1. Can it be the Director - ESTJ?

The Director is the Border Collie

Ranking and key selfish bastard factor: 6/16. Possessor of a selfish streak.

Commentary: As mentioned on other pages, the Director likes to be in control and often comes across as bossy and overbearing. They have the 'my way or the highway' ethos and are impatient with people who do not follow their lead. They often have very strong opinions and are unafraid to take charge and make decisions quickly without first consulting others. This can be off-putting to those around them as they can appear overly domineering and lacking in empathy. However, they are also very loyal and are willing to work hard and make sure that tasks get done efficiently, even if they come off as bossy in the process. They are also fiercely protective of their family and friends and will do whatever they can to look out for them. While they may often be seen as selfish, their loyalty and dedication actually ultimately benefits those who are closest to them.

E. Hunter™ experience: This seems to correlate with my observations. They have turned micromanaging into an art form.

2. Can it be the Developer - ENTJ?

The Developer is the German Shepherd

Ranking and key selfish bastard factor: 2/16. Possessor of a selfish streak.

Commentary: They are incredibly ambitious and goal-oriented people who have a strong sense of independence. They like to be in control and can become easily frustrated when they do not get the results they want or when it appears someone is not pulling their weight. This can make them seem very self-centered, but this is not always the case. In some cases, they can be very generous and self-sacrificing when it comes to accomplishing their goals or helping and motivating others. It is just that they are incredibly future-oriented and get tunnel vision when it comes to their ambitions and goals.

E. Hunter™ experience: They really should be a tie for the most selfish bastard. They use people and then chuck them out.

3. Can it be the Results - ESTP?

The Results is the Jack Russell Terrier

Ranking and key selfish bastard factor: 3/16. Do not like being tied down by rules or conventions.

Commentary: They are highly energetic, ambitious and independent. They thrive on taking risks and pushing boundaries as well as having a certain degree of freedom in their lives. This can often make them come across as selfish, as they often prioritize their own needs and goals above those of others. They may also be quite controlling when it comes to getting things done their way, which can sometimes make them seem dismissive or uncaring towards the feelings of others. Despite this, they can be incredibly generous and enthusiastic people who are always looking for new ways to challenge themselves and those around them.

E. Hunter™ experience: Yes, the selfish daredevil.

4. Can it be the Inspirational - ENTP?

The Inspirational is the Bull Terrier

Ranking and key selfish bastard factor: 1/16. Do not possess a heart.

Commentary: The Inspirational can be highly creative and innovative. They thrive on taking risks and pushing boundaries and are not afraid to put themselves first when it comes to pursuing their goals. They are often independent thinkers who prioritize the intellectual stimulation of debate far above the feelings of others. They love to play devil’s advocate and often challenge the status quo, making them great problem solvers. They can often appear aloof and disinterested. Unless their ideas are challenged or their intellect is questioned, they can be dismissive and disinterested. However, even if they do come across as selfish, they often have good intentions and are simply trying to get the most out of themselves and other people. But it is for their own gain.

E. Hunter™ experience: They are ranked as the ultimate and annoying selfish bastard. No contest from my experience. They are the worst losers and are cheaters as well.

They have a deep connection with their emotions, taking into account how their decisions might affect those around them. They can be too focussed on others at times, neglecting their own needs in order to make sure everyone else is taken care of. Although this may seem like a selfless act, it can be detrimental in the long run. They need to take time for themselves as well so that they do not become overwhelmed and exhausted.

E. Hunter™ experience: At last something to attempt to offset their manipulating and interfering modus operandi.

6. Can it be the Appraiser - ESFJ

Ranking and key selfish bastard factor: 15/16. Ultimate people pleaser.

Commentary: They are extremely warm and caring people who put the needs of others above their own. They are very social and enjoy being around people. They strive to make everyone feel comfortable and appreciated. As such, they often downplay their own needs in order to ensure that everybody else is taken care of first. While this can be a wonderful trait, it can also make them come off as overly self-sacrificing at times. They are usually not very good at saying no and can be prone to taking on too much work or responsibility. As a result, they may end up feeling overwhelmed and have others take advantage if they do not set boundaries for themselves.

E. Hunter™ experience: This pattern is liked by most and lack of selfishness is a part of this.

This can appear selfish to some people, but it is actually just a sign of their strong sense of self and passion for life.

E. Hunter™ experience: They are selfish in the sense that they never finish any fcuking thing.
