Welcome to my perfumed garden

When I've taken the long version in the past I would come out INF/TP which apparently means I sit right on the border with the Feeling/Thinking. INTP is something like !% of the general population. I have to face it, I'm odd. ;)

I've never had a problem thinking of myself as introverted, if you want to define introversion as generally liking people, but becoming exhausted by too much contact with too many of them at once. That was always my own definition of introversion.

Since I began teaching, I took the long and the short version. I took it with a friend who showed me how the results were calculated. It came out I/ENT/FP. Heh. The Introvert/Extrovert scale was balanced right in the middle. My friend is also a teacher who explained it as I'm forcing myself to become more of an extrovert due to the teaching. I used to write from home. Now I do technical writing from home but more teaching. The way my friend put it was that he and I (his introversion/extroversion scale was one notch higher toward extrovert than mine) "turn on the switch" when we walk into the classroom, or a meeting, etc. Weird.

Hope you feel much better soon.
