How would the world look like if it was populated by seven billion people having the same mindset/personality as you do?

So tonight I was driving through town and I saw this guy walking to his car, said car being some kind of asiatic car with the full kit of body mods, home-made rear spoiler (yeah) and all that jazz, and I sarcastically thought 'Oh man I bet your car goes REAL fast now, it's kinda useless though since you can't really go past 10-15 above the speed limit on highways, like I do myself, a good law-abiding citizen. I wish more people were like me.'

Then it hit me.

I wish more people were like me.

So it got me thinking, what would the world look like if EVERYBODY was like me? (talking about personality/behavior only, not talking about 7 billion clones).

So Reddit, how would the world look like if it was filled with people like you? Would everyone on the highway drive 10 under the limit, or would it be a free-for-all warzone? What kind of businesses would thrive, and which ones would be non-existant? Strip-clubs at every corner?

And also, and please be honest, would you actually wish to live in a world like that? (Yes, I am aware the world would be shaped pretty much to your own image, but if, say, you're a bit on the criminal side, would you want to live in a world where it's pretty much survival of the fittest?)

TL;DR: THE WORLD IS FILLED WITH 7 BILLION PEOPLE WITH THE SAME KIND OF PERSONALITY AS YOU HAVE, WHAT IS THE WORLD LIKE?
