are very different. Generally, theirs are mean and aggressive...stingy with everyone but their own, and they always jusrify lying to others outside their circle.

We tend to be more good natured, expect the best of people, and we would rather negotiate than fight. However, we can fight hard when we are under attack...sometimes we don't realize it in time...then, we know, we've been had. We are better people,so we look for the best in others. They do just the opposite, but it does give then some advantage.
