Self-identification

[andrewducker]

I was intrigued by how few people identified as "an introvert" on the previous poll. Looking down the list, it seems to me that the majority of people on my friends list are reasonably introverted - insofar as they get energy from time away fom people, and feel drained by prolonged periods around others, however it seems that they don't feel the same.

So, I'm intrigued how people come out on the Myers-Briggs personality types.

If you've never taken this before then take the test here (takes about five minutes) and report back...

I'm not sure where I get energy, but I know there's a boundary that requires energy to get over from "time by myself" to "time with others" that I often don't feel the energy to climb.

"Your" test [1] gives ENFJ for me today, but J with a "1%". (though retaking the test, with some different answers [2], I get ENFJ again but with a stronger J!)


[1] There are many of these tests online, this is the one you chose.
[2] I retook the test reading the questions like "You prefer to act immediately rather than speculate about various options" in a different way. First time I read that I felt it unfair as I like to do both, and answered "yes" as I like to act immediately otherwise things don't get done ... but I also like to speculate about the various options, so the second time I said "no" as I don't prefer one to the other, I like both.

My version comes from the 'formal' version I did on a work course a few years ago rather than any of the online ones that are available, so may be a little more reliable.
