I am an INTROVERT

<p>Many extroverts view online forums as another venue for social hobnobbing so it’s not an either/or thing regarding socializiing IRL and online. I speak as one…albeit one who is on the border on the E/I spectrum…but on two Myers-Brigg testings, definitely lean on the E side. </p>

<p>However, my ideal social interaction is IRL, ideally with congenial people. :)</p>

<p>QM–I always thought those “affinity groups” were just the same poster under different screen-names ;)</p>

</p>

<p>^^^^^Ha ha, may be. I know DH would NEVER spend a moment of his time on CC or any other message board. The computer is for work and email. Life is found on the “outside.”</p>

64

<p>QM, I would be interested in seeing what you come up with! Maybe we should just start it here: People can pile on …</p>

<p>ISTJ for me (strong IJ, weak ST)</p>

<p>I don’t post here very frequently but any talk about Myers-Briggs certainly gets my attention. My son has recently turned me into a MB aficionado. I am an INFJ and he is an ENFP so it’s a pretty interesting combination with some fascinating and deep conversations I attribute to our NF side but also many-many P-J battles because I am 100% J and he is 80% P. </p>

<p>INTJ here.</p>

<p>Adding into atomom and harvestmoon1 - the INTJ in me wants to remind everybody that you’re not supposed to just list your name / type and that it’s far more efficient way to copy the list and add your own info in each time, and we INTJ’s love efficiency :-)</p>

<p>[My</a> MBTI Personality Type - My MBTI Results - How Frequent Is My Type?](<a href=“http://www.myersbriggs.org/my-mbti-personality-type/my-mbti-results/how-frequent-is-my-type.asp]My”>The Myers & Briggs Foundation - How Frequent Is My Type) I always thought there were so many parties to avoid because extraverts were in the majority and therefore got to set the social landscape. If I’m reading this correctly, there are actually more introverts than extraverts. As an ISFJ, I seem to have the most common M-B personality type. Don’t be shy, ISFJs (or any more so than usual) - declare yourselves. :)</p>

<p>Also hoping some more of the Es will post here. Though maybe they aren’t reading the thread because they don’t relate to the title?</p>

<p>I have known about this for a long time. actually had a conversation with a person found very difficult. She was in banking and said this info was used in getting on in the workplace. What motivates us. She is motivated by getting things done, no matter the process, I am motivated by caring, protecting, that is why I found her so abrasive. Once I knew this no longer took her so personally ad could actually like her. I think it was the Eanegram (sic)<br>
I am perceived as being very comfortable in social situations, but I dread them particularly at work, because they are so cliquey (sorry sic) and make me very uncomfortable. I had a serious illness 3 years ago and find I need a lot of recharging time, it is a requirement. I prefer conversations with strangers as well,(elevators, stores) and connection.
Bookworm, when I have conversations on planes or elsewhere, I think it is grace intervening, I think you really helped her.</p>

<p>downtoearth, count me in with your INFj. I cannot seem to copy when on iPad.</p>

<p>I mentioned that airplane ride because it was so unusual for me. The young gal kept repeating, “I cannot believe I’m sharing all this.” Unlike so many of my clients, this woman was bright, had supportive family, good career path, and certainly did not need to settle or rush into a marriage with so many red flags. I wish I knew how her life turned out.</p>

76

<p>Thanks, Pizzagirl, very efficient method of collecting the data! </p>

<p>(Minor typo in your list–INFP is listed twice, and INTP is missing. Ditto for ENFP, listed twice, and ENTP missing.)</p>

77

<p>ditto bookworm, i couldn’t copy either on my iPad.</p>

78

<p>QuantMech: I corrected it below.</p>

<p>Added bookworm.</p>

<p>Both the INTP/INFP descriptions fit me perfectly, except where they conflict, in which case it really depends on the situation. I’m going to go with INTP for the purposes of this list.</p>

<p>Thanks, pelicularities. :slight_smile:
I was planning to do that, but my personality type prevented it.</p>

<p>The Enneagram is pretty interesting, especially since it’s so darned mathematical, it’s almost too elegant to be true, and too elegant not to be!</p>

<p>Again, as with INFP/INTP, I am squarely between 4w5 and 5w4, although it’s a little clearer here - I’m probably a stronger 4 than 5.</p>
