INTJ, the rarest and best one
"I" is a surprise to me. "J" makes total sense though.
Yeah, I think I'm a good example of why introversion and social anxiety are separate issues. I've learned how to socialize well, and I'm good around people I know, but being around big crowds drains me. Part of what helped me learn how to socialize well was doing phone support for QuickBooks. A year of being on the phone 8 hours a day with strangers teaches you how to make small talk very well. The reason many introverts aren't good at socializing is because they never get any practice at it. The traditional definition of introversion vs extroversion is that introverts gain energy by being alone and extroverts gain energy by being around people.

Also Jaime and Kelly are good examples of the I/E axis being separate from the shy/talkative axis. Jaime is a shy extrovert who hates being alone. Kelly is an outgoing introvert who needs her alone time.

I have a hard time seeing you as an introvert...You're just so personable...
E vs I is about how you get energy, has no relationship to being shy, antisocial or personable. It's not the same introvert and extrovert that you are used to. In MB terms, an introvert gets their energy from being alone. An extrovert gets their energy from people. Both operate in the other space.

I'm an outgoing extrovert but, like many Es, I still need alone time from time to time. I need people 90% of the time but I need to get away and center now and then or I fall apart.
It's why I like business travel once in a while. A night or two alone in a hotel room really helps my brain reset.

Interesting. I can see that.

Yeah I know.

As a rule, I freak out if I'm not talking to someone. Ask @Minion-Queen how many times I bug her or @scottalanmiller at some crazy hour of the night because I see their up and I'm going out of my mind without someone to talk to! Since I got a gf, it's been easier. I end up talking to her right until we both fall asleep. I have been going to bed at 10 or 11PM lately as a rule! I am actually sleeping again too! I LOVE IT!
-
But the whole recharging from being around others is definitely me! But I also agree with Scott...once in a VERY RARE while, I need to get away and just be alone. But never very often or for very long. When I get depressed, I tend to become more reserved.
-
Most people aren't 100% E or I, and most of the extroverts I know need occasional down time too. Even introverts get lonely and long for company after being alone long enough

I'm usually very polar. Either I NEED to be around people, or I want to be cut off from everyone and everything. Usually it's needing to be around people. I can only think of once or twice in my life I absolutely HAD to get away...

Once they've secured such a position, ENTPs need to remember that for their ideas to come to fruition, they will always depend on others to assemble the pieces - if they've spent more time "winning" arguments than they have building consensus, many ENTPs will find they simply don't have the support necessary to be successful. Playing devil's advocate so well, people with this personality type may find that the most complex and rewarding intellectual challenge is to understand a more sentimental perspective, and to argue consideration and compromise alongside logic and progress.
OK I'll have to remember this one, as much as it pains me.
-
You are one of the Explorers - a bold and freedom-loving individual who enjoys pushing the limits and exploring the unknown. You are known for your quiet nature, artistic skills and ability to improvise. -

Had my girlfriend take the test and she's ISFP, which was an interesting read. We both agreed that our descriptions summed us up nicely.

I find it really hard to believe you're an introvert...you just seem to want to be around people!

@thanksaj It wasn't an overwhelmingly high percentage.....does that help? Nick said the same thing at first, but then he thought about it and then came around to the idea. LOL I don't know - I just gave you what the test said. maybe I didn't answer all the questions strongly enough.

shrugs Well, maybe you're one of those people who is both an introvert and extrovert. It just depends on the situation.
