Introverts
I have long known that I was an introvert. I dislike the popular conception of introverts as being shy loners, unable to fit in, so it is not something I often admit to. While I generally enjoy the company of others, I need time by myself to recharge. I generally prefer quiet and solitude as opposed to high-stimuli environments. I would prefer a laid back evening, having a couple of drinks with some close friends opposed to a big party or a crowded bar almost any day. It wasn't until recently I have come to embrace this introversion aspect of my personality. Somewhere around four months or so ago, I had taken the Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator . I had taken it once before--with the same result--however this last time I have taken a more serious look at the results. I don't know why the results didn't have any profound meaning for me... perhaps I dismissed it as having some of the Barnum Effect , where, much like in horoscopes, the results are generalized enough
