Re: Personality
1. Definitely a borderline personality, here. Very like me, in fact. I test out about 60/40 on every MB test I've done (three or four so far...) But I'm an "I" because when I need to
recharge or process something truly awful, I need solitude. Most of the strong "E" types I know need companionship in those times.
A friend who has two daughters put it this way, "L. won't tell me if she's sick. B needs me to hold her while she bends over the toilet if she's sick." A sick example, true, but one that might help you determine if you are introvert or extrovert.
Another difference I've noticed between introverts and extroverts is how they think. When I think (about difficult problems), I need to think alone, or at least in a quiet environment. The extroverts I know need to talk it out. So that's another question I could ask: When you need to work out a difficult problem, do you talk it out, or do you need silence? (If you need silence after the talking, you're probably at least a bit introverted.)
2. A P. A very strong P, would be my guess...
I used to tell my mother that it didn't matter that everything in my room was on the floor, because I knew exactly where on the floor I put it. (Chaotically organized, Ray?) All that showed was that I had a good memory. :grin
Another telling question: When you go on a trip, do you panic if it's not organized to the last detail, or if it is organized to the last detail, do you feel restricted somehow? A classic "P" will have this conversation with a "J" ex-spouse:
J: When are you taking holidays?
P: Dunno. When are you going?
J: I'm leaving on Saturday, August 7. I'm hoping to be out of here by 9 a.m. sharp. We'll camp the Saturday night at This Provincial Park, the Sunday night at That Provincial Park, and by noon on the Monday, we'll be at XXX Resort. We'll be home on Friday, August 13 about noon. We're going to see Attraction A on Tuesday, Attraction B on Thursday, and go on a boat tour the following Monday. I'll check the long term forecasts before we go. I might have to change the attractions around if it's supposed to rain.
P: Okay, well if you're going to take those weeks, I'll take the last week in August to go up to Algonquin. Might stay at Mom and Dad's for a night or two. Oh, and maybe go up again on the Labour Day weekend. Depends on the weather. And finances. I wonder what my bank account balance is like, anyway.
J: I have $756.32 right now. I should have $1524.02 in there when I leave, unless someone doesn't cash a cheque right away. I hate it when that happens.
If you can identify strongly with either "P" or "J" in this little (somewhat true) example, you know what you are... :b
