I took the official Myers-Briggs Type Indicator three times — twice it said I was an Introvert, once an Extravert (their spelling), but I was always close to the border. This test tagged me squarely as an introvert.
That’s why I love blogging, it lets me spend hours playing with ideas and still connects me with people. The best of both worlds.
Which one are you?

interesting, I missed 2 objects – and they were the very small objects! But what field I fit in is debatable!
It was fun to take.
an introvert totally!
I see the turtle without even starting the test! LOL
I took that a week or so ago. Dewena sent it to Doreen and Poppy and me.
it was fun.
I agree with what you say…
” That’s why I love blogging, it lets me spend hours playing with ideas and still connects me with people. The best of both worlds. ”
spoken as two happy introverts!
PLUS (I still have those two wonderful books that were sent to me by a dear friend! I have looked up my whole family living and not… and it’s amazing!)
XOXO
The joys of being retired! 😀
I found them all.
In fact I found them all before the timer started, except for two.
I guess that makes me a super introvert.
I always say that I’m an introvert pretending to be an extrovert.
I can be super outgoing but I hate it.
ditto! you would also think I were a dyed in the wool extrovert if you saw me in a large group. and afterward it is exhausting!
and yet I have never ‘tested’ out as an ambivert.
the marine and I were talking about it just yesterday. like you learn what you have to … to survive when always meeting new people constantly. then as children it locks in I guess!
Hurray for introverts surviving in an extrovert-worshipping society.
ain’t it the truth tho! HURRAY! (that’s pretty extroverted right there! LOL)
😀
Borderline, but more introverted than extrovert, based on a different test instrument. On this one, I missed 3 of the 8.
It’s a fun test, but I wouldn’t trust the results much.
I missed one. Introvert? I find it difficult as I would be an ambivert.
I already knew you were an ambivert — I’m guessing that most people who blog have a lot of introvert in them.
I’m squarely in the introvert section! I’ve taken the test three times, with almost exact results. Lots of good things about being an introvert, but I could do without the ‘introvert bashing’ that goes on in our extrovert-worshipping society!
Yes, today’s and tomorrow’s post are about that prejudice.
Oh well, I’m not only an introvert but a dinosaur, so I couldn’t even figure out how to take the test. But on Meyer-Briggs, I get I N T/F P/J. Showing that I’m an “ambivert” when it comes to thinking/feeling and making decisions. Or do I mean wimp?
I prefer the definition of introvert/extrovert that looks at our sources of energy and revitalisation: extroverts refuel by interacting with others; introverts go inside to recover from, say, an extroverted evening with friends. Or here’s another example: introverts want to sit quietly in their seats at the intermission of a classical music concert that was intensely moving; extroverts want to rush out to the lobby to tell all their friends how wonderful it was.
I’m an I/E N T/F P. Definitely N and P.
That’s a good example about the difference. Thanks.

I have always known I was an introvert. On this test, I found most of the odd-one-out photos before the narrator said what to look for.
I did too. While the person was talking I spotted the one that didn’t fit, except the first one when I didn’t know what the test was about and the very last one.
