After scoring an ESFJ on the Myers-Briggs typology exam this summer and now being here in Ireland, many things have been brought to my attention about my personality. Particularly the fact that I’m not really an extrovert…I’m an introvert. I re-charge alone. But my lovely Irish friend Cathy and I decided the other day that we are “people-pleasing, introverted, verbal processors”.
Suck on that Isabel Myers and Katharine Briggs.

It’s not really an acey-deucey kind of thing, Chrissy. I’m an extroverted person, but I’m very much the same way as you are in recharging. It’s not that I find folks taxing—I find them invigorating—but time to self allows me to analyze things a bit.
I think of you every time I’m in my kitchen and see that photo. I miss talking to you a few times a week.

I LOVE YOU!
And I am an extroverted introvert. At least, that’s my explanation… Myers-Brigg categorizes me as an introvert… but once I warm up, I’m talky talky. OR if I’m nervous, I’m talky talky. Sometimes my chatterbox tendencies are actually caused by shyness.

Hmm. I have yet to take this Myers-Briggs thing yet. Everyone has taken it.

Quiet Day
Today was a very quiet day. In fact, I hardly said a word. If you’ve ever spent time around me, you should know that I love to talk. And talk. And talk. But at times, I need to be quiet and by myself. Chrissy would claim that this makes me an in…

I see what you’re saying, Geof. We had an entire class about our personalities, etc. (as we study team dynamics) and there was more to me being “diagnosed” as an I rather than an E than just me re-charging alone. I think as I get older and learn more about myself, I’m learning that I am more of an introvert…and that’s okay. Listening and loving people well is what I want to do more than ever right now. I guess it just depends on where you are in your life at that particular moment.
I hope I’m making sense.
