I am entj. Introverted and extroverted has to do more with how you recharge than anything else. I cal up a friend or talk to my wife to recharge. Rolling out to a pub after work to chat up strangers pumps me up. Introverts recharge watching a movie or reading. I think it is about where you get your energy.

Hah, I know how that feels. I'm somewhat shy with people before I know them, but after I do, it's a lot different. Not that I talk too much then, but I'm much more open and less restricted to talk to them.

Everyone has both sides of the "coin" as it were. It's just when you took that test you scored more introverted. I'm definitely introverted, though I can be quite talkative when I'm excited about something or feel comfortable with someone. Alcohol will also flip that switch for me, but that's not my normal mindset. But I get drained by lots of social interaction with multiple people, and can comfortably go a day or two without seeing another person.

If you really want to feel good about being an introvert, I'd recommend heading over to TED and watching some talks on it.

i definitely need to sit on the couch after being in public. i just want to relax for a bit. even if i have been out with close friends. i can definitely say my preference is to be introverted. i'm very comfortable with just being being around friends and not saying a word.

i dont think shy is the word for me. i just gotta feel out the crowd before i "make my move". ha!

i've taken the test 3 times. same results everytime. alcohol does bring out the mouth in me...but then again, maybe i'm just using that as a crutch/excuse.
