Yes, but more like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel, never ending nor beginning on an ever spinning wheel!

Now I feel dizzy!

Don't even mention the tunnels!

That about sums me up, too!

It takes a long time before I feel comfortable enough with anyone to engage in more than light-hearted banter (years in most cases).

In light of this topic, I have decided to poll the patrons at my job (I'm a bartender). I thought for sure that most of the people I'd ask would say they were extroverts since I know them from a very social environment, but alas, I was wrong. What I have noticed is that the regulars that I talk to the most are mostly introverts. One of my regulars, who is also a voracious reader, noticed that I tend to interact the least with patrons that are really out going, but more with the quiet ones. I told him that I suspected it was because the outgoing ones didn't need me as much. It's the quiet ones that I want to ensure feel welcome and part of the bar, plus, they usually have the most interesting things to say once they open up and feel more comfortable. Fortunately, I have an atypical number of readers that frequent the bar so there is often fantastic conversations about books and it seems someone always has a book sitting on the bar, that someone lent them or that they are about to lend out.

On Meyers-Briggs I always test out INTJ. My individual scores have drifted a little over the years, but it still comes out INTJ. I kinda like the MB methodology.

There are as many introverts as extraverts, but you'd never know it by looking around. Introverts would rather be entertained by what's going on in their heads than in seeking happiness. Their big challenge is not to feel like outsiders in their own culture.

I don't agree that an introvert doesn't seek happiness.

I go INTJ (100/25/50/44) on MB too, and I think I've always done so over the years as well.

Cheers,
Marc

No major surprises there. Must say how much I've enjoyed reading the thread - I stumbled across it late as usual ("I'm late, I'm late!" said the Green Frog?) - glad (relieved?) I'm not the only one with an internal dialogue.

The good thing is, threads don't have expiry dates so you can never really be late.

. I suspect this one, with its arguable but interesting article at the start, its two personality profile tests, and the possible bias in "type" of MR membership, might be on the long-life shelf here for a while.

Good one, Kenny.

No one is ever late in an internet forum thread they are here for all time to come!

That's both good and bad!

Oops....doubled with Mr Marc!

Something is very wrong somewhere. I thought that words like moderately or slightly would apply to some one else.

Blast.

I might redo the test and see if I can better my score.
