I mean that they are more likely to do things that they find "interesting," but not necessarily productive. In other words, they seem to think about their personal happiness and personal needs much more the creative subtype. I mind you, I am a creative subtype so my views may be bias, but on a number of occasions, I have perceived some of their actions to be selfish (not all the time, just more than the creative subtypes).
I believe this self-first principle they carry around makes them much less likely to achieve great success in society despite being quite capable in acquiring the skills to do so. There is a healthy sense of survivalism that comes along with this frame of mind. Maybe this itself as evidence to the argument that being a creative subtype is an artificial (unnatural) phenomenon of the human cognition (even though I don't think this myself).
