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...

Yup - as I said, I come out as E on tests even though by the 'classical' definition I'm not always loud or gregarious and outgoing. The term can actually mean different things depending on how you look at it, so while I'm happy to accept that it does mean it can get confusing if you're not sure which one you're looking at. :)

Yeah, I wasn't trying to discredit the test, more just pointing out that it's important to be clear with your definitions. You seem like an awesome person so I've added you as a friend, hope you don't mind. :)

*nods* I'm the converse, I'm moderately introvert on the tests, which feels right to me, but when I tell people, people always think I am introvert, because I do make time to generate social interactions. I just don't want them *all* the time, IYSWIM.

Um, I meant extrovert the second time. Editing fail.... :)
