Some people conform to a stereotype by no longer expressing themselves honestly or uniquely in order to fit into the narrow set of traits. After awhile they forget that their type is just an observable pattern, based on an archetype. It is not their identity. The potential danger of typology is that younger people might build their identity based on a stereotype and never allow themselves to grow beyond that.
