Introversion

[MrCrowesGarden]

It looks like I am INTJ. I have found the root of my dysfunction.

Perhaps the most fundamental problem, however, is that INTJs really want people to make sense.

Huh. I read that INTJ's are one of the most uncommon of the 16 types.

Third INTJ to check in.

Maybe intj's are inherently drawn to message boards.

Count me in, +One

In the spirit of being an INTJ, I think the correlation between this personality type and internet forums deserves a full-fledged psychological study.

Wow. I never would have guessed I would've had extroverted results (ESFJ 80%, ENFJ 76%), but I think the test did fairly well.

ESFJs direct their energy towards the outer world of actions and spoken words. They seek to build harmony in personal relationships, engendering team spirit and being an encouragement to others. They like dealing with people, and organise life on a personal basis.

ENFJs direct their energy towards the outer world of actions and spoken words. They try to build harmony in important personal relationships. Their lives are organised on a personal basis, seeking to develop and promote personal growth in people they value.

EDIT: Looks like I also had 76% in ISFJ, which fits me pretty well, too.

ISFJs direct their energy towards the inner world of thoughts and emotions. They try to clarify ideas and information, particularly when it relates to people and important relationships. They are quiet, serious observers of people, and are often both conscientious and loyal.

I got INFJ. I think the description matches me pretty well.

It is in their abilities that Masterminds (INTJs) differ from the other Rationals, while in most of their attitudes they are just like the others. However there is one attitude that sets them apart from other Rationals: they tend to be much more self-confident than the rest, having, for obscure reasons, developed a very strong will. They are rather rare, comprising no more than, say, one percent of the population.

Oh and for what its worth, Jesus was introverted.

"Introverted - where did Jesus get his energy? Evidence for introversion: 40 days in the wilderness. Come on–an extravert would have gone nuts with no other people around for 40 days. I personally would have struck up a friendship with a volleyball after about 48 hours. Jesus often retreated after being around all those people. He also quite literally felt the energy (virtue) go out of him when he was touched in a crowd; one could say He literally found crowds to be draining. "

I got INTP but I'm not sure that it suits me.

I'm odd. I really hate small-talk, so I appear introverted when I'm really just annoyed. I like social interaction with friends, but I really enjoy my alone time. I'm a natrual leader-type on team projects, but I'm a control freak and don't trust anyone else to do the work 100% correctly. I'm usually dubbed the unofficial "social chair" wherever I go, yet I hate talking to people on the phone unless I'm close friends with them.

I think it all adds up to me being a jerk. But a friendly jerk.

I'm an introvert. I always thought extroversion or introversion depended upon whether being with people energized you, or exhausted you.

People exhaust me.

My daughter's an extrovert. She's like an electron when people come over to visit, bouncing all over the place and literally shaking with energy.

I don't know how this genetic mutation took place.

What am I? People don't exhaust me, just irritate me.
