I have been thrown into a complete tailspin.
I took a Myers Briggs {or is it Briggs Myers?} type test today to see if my personality has changed any. Here’s the deal. I am an INTROVERT. Say it slowly with me: IN.TRO.VERT.
But when I tell people that they act shocked, like I punched them in the gut or something. And it’s usually followed by “NO.WAY!” “I don’t believe you!” or something of the like.
I am what I am, people. You can’t change me.
I am by all accounts an Introvert.
My company does a 3-day, 6-city symposium every January and by the end of it I just want to be totally and completely alone…with earplugs…for days. People exhaust me. Totally. After I do that symposium I literally want to go hide in a cave for like, an entire day. Some of you might can relate to that.
So anyway, I decided that I would take this test to see if I still am in fact, an introvert.
I’m speechless.
When I did the Myers Briggs test about six years ago I was ISFJ = Introvert, Sensor, Feeler and Judger. Pretty accurate.
Today I got I-or-E, S, F-or-T, J.
What is happening!? WHO AM I?! I don’t even know ME anymore!!
My husband AND my kids AND my friends are having a really strange and STRONG impact on me. They have changed me…I am morphing into someone else…and I don’t even know her!
I am becoming more extroverted, less introverted {I really do blame this on the kids more than the hubs}. And more of a thinker than a feeler?!!?! {I blame this one on my j-o-b}
What in the world?!
I have to be honest, I was really surprised. I was confident in my introversion. Andrew, however, said “Just like I keep saying!” – He believes my introversion is a total facade.
What about you?
You might be just as surprised as I was!
Oh wow! I, too, have always been (I think!) an introvert. I may have to take this!
It’s interesting how these can change over time. I’ve been an INFJ since college – but who knows what I’ll be 10 years from now!
