We were talking about introversion vs. extroversion on another thread, and it seems like a lot of us who spoke up are introverts. There is an online test that looks fairly scientific on the surface, that classifies people into one of the 16 types that the Myers Briggs test uses. Take the online test if you're interested (or share your MB type if you've done that test), see what you think of the results and share them here if you care to. I think it could be fun! www.16personalities.com/I'll start. I did the Myers Briggs and I'm INTJ or INTP --probably somewhere in between. From the descriptions on the website above, I think I am also the turbulent variety of INTJ/P. Who, me?

Just did it, I came up as Advocate INFJ. Not sure it's entirely right as apparently I care a lot about other people's well-being which doesn't sound like selfish me at all Although of course when dishing out a good dose of the spanking slipper it is for the righteous correction of a wrong-doer so maybe there is some truth in it....

If that is true you must care about me a hell of a lot!

I'm adventurer ISFP-A: 89% introvert, 53% observant, 54% feeling, 75% prospecting, 67% assertive. " Adventurer personalities are true artists" I knew it! Now if only the world could realize... Way more interesting than the result of the test would be to see what each forumhead answered. For example, what did you answer to the question "you feel superior to other people"? Anyone dares tell the truth?

We did this before and I'm still a Defender ISFJ-T. Both times I took the test over and it came up same. Dave says I'm more aggressive then what it says. It tells me I'm meticulous, prone to perfectionism. Close. Depending, good enough works. You only live once. It's correct in saying I am very reliable and I get the job done. And very loyal. Also correct that I take things too personally and protect my feelings and am reluctant to change (thought that a German trait. Or is it bullheadedness, my second name.)
BUT! *cough, cough* kindness in excess have I. smileys-whistling-823718
I'm in good company with Queen Elizabeth and Halle Berry and Beyoncé!
Oh, no problem admitting feeling superior to others at times. I learned to understand why I felt this way. Rare it was ego. Insecurity and/or not being understanding and mean. Now, I step back and let it go.

I did the MB over 20 years ago. I'll do this one and see how it turns out. I've changed a lot since then.

I'm now INFP -T (with T/ F being close) Getting married and becoming a mom since then probably has something to do with F being higher, ....and motherhood definitely adds to the turbulence! Being a parent is not for the faint of heart! I think working with more kids from difficult backgrounds and working on teams with other people, where I've grown to appreciate ideas that on the surface don't seem viable (on school committees and in volunteer organizations) has made me more compassionate and willing to hear others out. I've always been very much a divergent thinker myself, too, that annoying "Yes, but..." person who occasionally ends up saving the day by getting other people to think more deeply about something.

The problem is that in my case I'm not sure it's insecurity, I'm afraid it's plain and simple feeling superior at times (not to everyone, of course, but to many). Not ego, just thinking you are more intelligent. I know that by saying this I'm commiting sincericide and making myself hatable because who likes arrogant people? But at least I'm being totally honest and admitting a failure that not many would dare to admit and that I know I have to address.

I just went back to check the label that goes with my type, and it made me smile. It's Mediator. I copied it here, and I think it's pretty accurate for me. "Mediator personalities are true idealists, always looking for the hint of good in even the worst of people and events, searching for ways to make things better. While they may be perceived as calm, reserved, or even shy, Mediators have an inner flame and passion that can truly shine. Comprising just 4% of the population, the risk of feeling misunderstood is unfortunately high for the Mediator personality type – but when they find like-minded people to spend their time with, the harmony they feel will be a fountain of joy and inspiration." Some of you can attest to that part about feeling misunderstood...I worry, I over-analyze, I over-explain. You all are some of my" like-minded people." *sniff sniff* Thanks, guys!

I didn't see a question about liking kettle-cooked potato chips. I would score very high on that one!

Helmut83. Me, and am pretty sure others, know you're arrogant. And, know you're a bright boy. The thing is, is that your arrogance doesn't have you living in a fantasy and hallucinating an unrealistic sense of self, because it's not an insecure arrogance. You don't need to be noticed more than anyone of us lowly peasants. And, you are genuinely interested in others. It’s not all about you. Admitting your faults makes it easier to get along and for the two-headed monster not having to chase your ass down every day. *Phew* I needs a drinkie.
