Introvert or Extrovert?

[Heidi]

Weird, when I looked at this earlier, I didnt' see any of the Myer's/Briggs stuff.

My dh and I did this as part of our premarital counseling. We are exact opposites. I'm Extrovert, Inuitive, Feeling, Perceiving and he's Introverted, Sensing, Thinking, Judging. Not only are we opposites, but we're the first couple in the pastor's experience to correctly guess our own traits as well as each others on top of that.

If you're interested, here's a link to the personality test:

Just for fun, I did it again, and got the same results. I took it at training once and...same thing. I guess it's accurate!

Yep, that's me!

Hmm. I am an INFJ, like a couple of others. It says this combination is held by less than 1% of people. Maybe a high percentage of providers though ::
Of course, this is just the quickie version of the personality inventory, right?

I'm a ISFJ.
They basically described me 1000%.

[craftymissbeth]

I am officially an introvert because my daughter is certified in the Myers Briggs personality evaluation and gave me the test. (I'm an INFJ for anyone who is familiar with this)

I am retired but used to work alone but, for several years, had a part time helper. We got along great though.

I have also worked in schools and was more than fine. I loved it actually.

I really enjoyed both for different reasons.

Laurel

Me too!

I had pretty bad social anxiety as a child through high school. In 6th grade, we moved to a new town and I literally sat at the back of the classroom bawling my eyes out and having panic attacks. When I had my son 7 years ago, it was like a light switched... my anxiety is MUCH less now and I make it a point to start conversations with strangers.

EDIT: Oops, I guess I had mine mixed up. I'm an INFP, not INFJ... but I'm right in between the P and the J so it's possible maybe that I'm a little of both? idk

[Baby Beluga]

I'm an introvert and work alone. Although, to be fair when I worked in a center with others I was still an introvert.

I got ESTP


You are one of the Explorers - a bold and freedom-loving individual who enjoys pushing the limits and exploring the unknown. You are known for your ingenuity, social skills and ability to improvise.

ESTPs are full of passion and energy, complimented by a rational, if sometimes distracted, mind. Inspiring, convincing and colorful, they are natural group leaders, pulling everyone along the path less traveled, bringing life and excitement everywhere they go.

[AmyKidsCo]

You should make your thread a poll if you want to tally the number of introverts/extroverts and whether they work alone or not.

If you do want a poll and need help setting it up, let me know.

Nah, but thanks. I'm more interested in reading peoples comments than the actual numbers.

If he'll do it, get your DH to take the survey. Even after a million years of marriage, I bet you'll have and "aha!" moment.

[daycare_jen]

I am also an INFJ. I work alone with a small number of dcks (purposely.) When I worked in a center, I would feel soooo drained by the end of the day and didn't feel like I was able to be there for my own kids because I really needed some alone time. Working in my home, I don't feel that way when I'm done for the day.

[daycare]

depends.

if it is within the childcare I am extrovert.

Among other social settings I don't talk much at all

I have 3 assistants

[CedarCreek]

I took the test and I'm an ESFP. So, Extrovert!

When I did daycare, I worked alone.

Now, it's just me and my boss in the office. It's nice to have someone to talk to but then sometimes, I'd rather be alone.

In social settings, i wouldnt say I'm "the life of the party" but I am a talker. To anyone. ::

[renodeb]

I' am a total extrovert and I work alone. I do things a certain way and just don't trust anyone else to do it the way I'm used to and the kids are used to. In the summer my 12 year old daughter helps me (the kids love her) an other than that. Its just me. I don't like the feeling of isolation so I make it a point to get out of the house after work. My daughter plays softball so thats a great outlet for me as I volunteer there.

[renodeb]

I work alone. Have for three decades. When other providers talk about the "common" feeling of isolation among child care providers,
I am like :confused::confused:

I hear that, when people ask me if this job feels isolating I tell them it can be if you let it. I dont let it!

Laurel, I'm an INFJ too!

Hey, cool! Like someone else said, it is supposed to be the rarest type.
