Under the assumption that I am delta, I have never been jealous or competitive. However on might say that I've never had any justification to be jealous. Regarding the competitive part, I might play to win, but whether I win or lose is irrelevant in comparison to whether I found it enjoyable or not, that is, the "need to win" cannot override my enjoyment, that is, I would not go for the win if I am not enjoying myself. But now one might say that the prospect of winning is the enjoyment, but this is not the case for me. So I guess I would say that jealousy and competitiveness are subjective and circumstance dependent.
My friend most certainly is. Unhealthily so I would say. But I would say that is largely dependent on circumstances, he was brought up playing computer games with his uncle, it was all about keeping score, who won more times, what kind of a victory it was and so on.
