Everyone's a *little* of both, but the question is -- which one applies to
you *most* of the time in *most* situations.  Which ids the "natural you"
and which is the one you have to work at/develop.  If you really are a split
on everything or most everything, most psychologists would say you are
undeveloped psychologically, that you've never discovered who *you* are
rather than who everyone around you is telling you you *should* be.  Then
again you could be the perfectly balecnced person who is the next step in
cosmic evolution.  Welcome to the list Buddha.
