Z

Lets just reframe this. Neither internal nor external locus is superior over the other. Both are limited in their own ways.

I have always been told that it is adaptability that is important, the ability to switch from one to the other to suit circumstances. The core of the serenity prayer

Lord, give me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change (external), the courage to change the things I can (interrnal), and the wisdom to know the difference.

I have never really understood why internal locus has been considered the more desirable!

internal and external locus

which is better?

V has a view that someone with a strong internal locus of control needs the opposite in a partner to balance it. In practice though why not be flexible Z and switch between the two? This is a question of belief which is mutable, it can be changed consciously by developing skills.

See this as an opportunity
