Actually, after I responded, I realized that my husband, who's English, had never heard of it either until he took one when he was seeing a career counselor over here -- so maybe it's much more of an American thing.
It just made me laugh because the type it was claiming for me is *sooo* completely not me in any way shape or form, and since I do know a fair bit about these categories . . . . Whereas it is clear that I *am* the Ninth Doctor, Dante (in the "what famous author are you?" quiz) and purple ("what color are you?").
The introversion/extroversion thing is actually interesting -- the principle behind it isn't whether you like people or are social, but whether you gain energy around people or need to be alone to recharge. So, although I love to socialize, I get worn out being around friends all the time and need alone time -- so on the Myers/Briggs test I score an I. (Although that's the one that's always most borderline.) I probably should have thought about that before I got married and decided to live in a tiny Manhattan apartment. ;-)
