Any type can be confident in themselves. However, the characteristic of confidence itself is best seen in the xxxx type: the providentiary. The providentiary draws its confidence from humanity as a whole, and is therefore sustained by the endless triumph of the race to survive against all odds.

I've heard a providentiary spout this stuff to my face before. It's a belittling experience that makes you feel almost evil for doubting the "eternal triumph" of the human collective. The way out is to remember that you too are a part of that collective, and perhaps without you it won't survive. Remember, the intuition that humanity is doomed stems from a belief that it cannot survive without you!
