"hypocrisy"

""hypocrite: a person's whose actions contradict their stated or internal beliefs." (the psychology of hypocrisy). Hypocrisy = beliefs - actions. Some feel that humans have an innate tendency to keep their hypocrisy at zero, meaning they have a desire to keep their beliefs and actions equal. When hypocrisy equals anything other than zero, an anxiety will exist inside the individual. These imbalances can linger for years in honest objective people and only seconds for bias rationalizers.

External Honest External hypocrites: Their stated beliefs contraindicate their actions. However, their stated beliefs are consistent with their actual internal beliefs. They have strong convictions but do not always follow through.
