So what's your personality type?

INFJ here. I'm sure we have a ton of introverts here since we all enjoy internet message boards so much

I've found it's super common in internet forums. INFJs sre social introverts. The internet allows us to shut our socialness on and off as needed. It's the perfect social outlet for me.

Yes! So true.

I'm sure I've taken the test before but don't remember my type. I'm definitely an introvert, though.

ISFJ

I feel like I don't totally fit it though. And I feel somewhat in limbo, like I have changed some since becoming a mom, but have not fully figured out the change. There were some questions I would have answered differently years ago, and some I was more iffy on what to answer.

I am definitely an introvert though, that will always be the case!

Your personality can definitely change. Our experiences shape us everyday. I used to be very extroverted as a child. At some point in college I became an introvert. It doesn't mean I don't like people. I just really value my alone time to recharge. I think that's why I find motherhood so emotionally exhausting and enjoy being able to go to work for just four hours some days. I need some time to myself, and being a parent doesn't lend itself to personal space and alone time

I really like Quiet: the power of introverts in a world that won't stop talking.

Anyone read it?

No, but it sounds interesting. Off to see if my library has it!

ETA - they do!!

You know what probably turned me into an introvert during college? My ridiculous FOMO. It probably exhausted me and turned me 180.

INFJ here!

INFP - T. I've never taken this test so I don't know quite what that means. I'm a mediator. I guess I'll be reading more about that!

What's FOMO?

"Fear of missing out"
I would stay up so late all the time, especially in the dorms, because other people did. God forbid I not be part of something!

Ah yes, I remember the commercials now!

I came out as ISTJ (just did it now). I'm definitely an introvert and in new situations with people I don't know it can come across as rude or snotty. It's not. I just don't come forward easily until I'm introduced or forced to. But DH always comments how well I turn it on once I actually get out there and socialise. I have no problem holding a conversation and I can talk to anyone about anything once I get going. I'm genuinely interested in people and tend to be the one who is over curious, asking questions that others may not (can come across as nosey but it's not, I hate gossip but I'm intrigued by people and their lives).

But I prefer my small group of people or to be on my own when I can. Too much social time drains me.

[craftcrazymama]

Saw this and thought it fit quite well for quite a few of us.

[creepyeyeball]

DH is ENTJ. So I'm the rarest and he is second rarest. I still don't know how we get along so well. Our types are kind of incompatible.
