You can put my name on the list of introverts. LOLOL Altho, I do like to debate, even when the decisions are made. I always question.
Here's my 13 for fun this week. Come over and laugh a time or two. I always enjoy the company-- Have a great day!!

Jill,
Very interesting. You have me wanting to take the test too.

That was fun! Hi, ISTJ - I'm INFP. Sensing and thinking puts you in a good place for being in psychology, I would say. I'm hoping that intuition, feeling and perception put me a good place to write - otherwise, who are all those people talking to me inside my head?

I love Myers-Briggs. When I took it 20 years ago, I was an INTP and I suppose I still am. I will be taking the test again and will know for sure next week!
Great TT.

I always found this test interesting...and I'm split, 50/50 between I and E, then NFP

I found out what I was once but soon forgot it because it didn't come close to the insight I got on my type from the Ennegram. Check it out. I'm a 5= observer, and thinker.

I'm knocked out of the running right with the first item. I'm not quiet.

LOL - You could be talking about me. :)

I am INTJ myself. It's an interesting way to classify personalities.
