Urm....??!

I honestly don't know if it's inaccurate or not. I don't think of myself as an introvert, but, maybe I am...? LOL! How would I know?

I'd never heard of the Myers-Briggs test till I did a bit of googling around 'INFP', which was fun and interesting, but I wouldn't expect a fun-meme to be very accurate in these matters.

As I said to someone else, they also reckon I have a violet aura, an orange soul and really good Karma, which is, like, really groovy, but not that illuminating (man). ::giggle::

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. ;-)
