I am an introvert!!! No, seriously, I am . Just found out. At least now I know what's wrong with me. Introverts, unite! Wait, no. I don't feel like getting together. Ha ha....just kidding! Sort of.
Of course, I thought it was all bullshit, because I am perceptively judgemental, or a intuitively sensitive, or whatever. People are subtle and much more nuanced than you can gain from personality testing. I don't disagree that certain traits predominate in everyone.
I love personality tests...but they are somewhat untrue. Eight years ago I scored equally in choleric, sanguine, phlegmatic and melancholy. Last year, I scored high in sanguine and choleric. I didn't even score in the other two...go figure!

That is a beautiful picture of a beautifully sensitive introvert.

Miss you....

When we did the Myers-Briggs workshop at work I was an ENTJ - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ENTJ
Either opposites attract, or we're screwed up.

There is not one thing wrong with introversion. The world actually needs more of it right now.
I have continuing discussion on my own bog about selling as an introvert.

Interesting, Jon. I am also an ENTJ - a pretty extreme one. Nate's an ENTP.
