I don’t know… I grew up in a highly collectivist and conformist culture (Sweden of the 70/80-ties). My view is that this “balanced” personality is something that is forced on people through socialization. That may feel great to those (90%?) who are naturally like this, but it requires totally crushing the (10%?) outliers. Being a whole human being means being yourself, regardless of how “balanced” other people think that self is.
