My Myers-Briggs test analyzed me as INTP
22% Introverted
79% Intuitive

I think this is pretty accurate, especially where it mentions the dramatic difference between being friendly and talkative with someone I know versus being shy and quiet with people I don't know.
On the other hand, I don't suffer from self doubt as cripplingly as it says, though I certainly experience it. As for when it says that INTPs jump from topic to topic rapidly, I find myself usually trying to make sure I'm understood before I move on.
My favorite affirmation was from my youth leader at church. He's led our group for years and this Sunday was his last at our church, so I was extremely glad to be able to ask him to fill it out. He is one of the people I respect most in life, and to hear what he thinks about my personality and how he appreciated what I brought to the group made my day. He appreciated my wit and how I liked to make the group smile and how I cared about my friends.
I think that you definitely are friendly and fairly talkative around the people you know well. I have known you for so long so you have always been talkative around me but I could see where you would be more secluded and shy when you don't feel comfortable. I am the same way
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with your comment about you wanting to "think through a topic" before jumping to a new one. You are always pretty logical Reid and tend you seem like a very ordered and logical thinker.
