sure that test isnt specific and only concise as it's only making you choose from which of those adjectives describe you the most but it has a good insight neverthelessLewder wrote:
I'm fairly certain similarminds is where I took the test some years ago too, actually.-Seren- wrote:
i took my test from here: http://similarminds.com/jung_word_pair.html
i remember after retaking that test some months ago, it resulted me of having a 50/50 between sensing and intuitive tho it resulted me to being an INTP and after some consecutive retakes, it showed the intuitive one is more dominant
and oh,i also remember taking this kind of test some years ago and that one resulted me to being an ISTP
but well, i think can consider myself as being both since i somehow have a good sense of intuition and sensing, and sometimes i can find myself connecting these 2 capabilities either way

So are you ambiverted?Aurani wrote:
Don't forget that while introverted, my type is actually quite fond of company and appreciates a good conversation.
Being an introvert means that your internal energy is the strongest when reflecting and is the weakest when interacting - nothing else. If anything, I'm one of the people who actually knows what it means to be either I or E, unlike most others who generalize and immediately come to retarded conclusions such as "OH being an introvert means that you're automatically a shut-in!".Lewder wrote:
introversion isn't as black and white as you think, aurani, and you're describing it in a way that every introvert is like an autist that gets annoyed as soon as people try to talk to them
So TL;DR, introverts aren't just very good at socializing?Aurani wrote:
Also Kiru, here's what I found so far - "While they are introverted, they sometimes seem extroverted at times due to their strong interest in people and society."
Not the one I read a day or two ago, but close enough.
Nah, I didn't say that - it's not that they aren't good at socializing (that depends on individuals, not on personality types) but just like I told Lewder: They aren't drawn towards it and get tired quickly, unlike Exs who don't spend much time with themselves but rather "feel at home" when in company of other people. Socializing skills are purely dependent on how you were raised and what your mentality is.kirukashi wrote:

I feel like this in itself is a myth? Like, I'm an introvert and most people I know are introverts, and it's less about the small talk itself than it's to do with who is making the small talk.-Seren- wrote:
They hate small talk. Get an introvert talking about something they are interested in, and they won’t shut up for days.
Pretty much, yes. To a stranger I might seem distant and not talkative at all, but if you prove to be someone who listens carefully and have interesting topics - I won't shut up until you make me.-Seren- wrote:
This is not true. Introverts just don’t talk unless they have something to say. They hate small talk. Get an Introvert talking about something they are interested in, and they won’t shut up for days.
Shyness has nothing to do with being an Introvert. Introverts are not necessarily afraid of people. What they need is a reason to interact. They don’t interact for the sake of interacting. If you want to talk to an Introvert, just start talking. Don’t worry about being polite.Shyness is a trait independent of psychological factors - and as such has nothing to do with someone being Introverted/Extroverted. I wouldn't really agree on the fact that Introverts need a reason for talking, and I generally do tend to care about the other person being polite or not - but that goes for me as an individual - not as an introvert, and therefore it can't be used as a way of determining introverts.
Introverts often don’t see a reason for beating around the bush with social pleasantries. They want everyone to just be real and honest. Unfortunately, this is not acceptable in most settings, so Introverts can feel a lot of pressure to fit in, which they find exhausting.That's both yes and no, as I do agree on the part with social pleasantries, but not with the "lot of pressure to fit in", as I know quite a lot of them who had no problems fitting in the mosaic called society, at all.
On the contrary, Introverts intensely value the few friends they have. They can count their close friends on one hand. If you are lucky enough for an Introvert to consider you a friend, you probably have a loyal ally for life. Once you have earned their respect as being a person of substance, you’re in.Pretty much spot-on, so no need to comment on any of that.
Nonsense. Introverts just don’t like to go out in public FOR AS LONG. They also like to avoid the complications that are involved in public activities. They take in data and experiences very quickly, and as a result, don’t need to be there for long to “get it.” They’re ready to go home, recharge, and process it all. In fact, recharging is absolutely crucial for Introverts.This is something that they should literally "sticky" in people's brains, as most of them mix that up with the idea of someone being a shut-in. This seriously needs to be explained to 99% of people out there.
Introverts are perfectly comfortable with their own thoughts. They think a lot. They daydream. They like to have problems to work on, puzzles to solve. But they can also get incredibly lonely if they don’t have anyone to share their discoveries with. They crave an authentic and sincere connection with ONE PERSON at a time.The bolded out part should be especially taken into account - no matter how much they seem independent, Introverts want and need social contact even more so than Extroverts, as they require more delicate and emotional connections (basically what you said in the last sentence).
Introverts are often individualists. They don’t follow the crowd. They’d prefer to be valued for their novel ways of living. They think for themselves and because of that, they often challenge the norm. They don’t make most decisions based on what is popular or trendy.This is just generalising it, once again. Individualism has nothing to do with Introversion or Extroversion - it's based on how you were raised (your own beliefs) as much as the surroundings you found yourself in during your childhood (5 to 17 - when your brain actively takes in data and is forming the mold for your future personality).
Introverts are people who primarily look inward, paying close attention to their thoughts and emotions. It’s not that they are incapable of paying attention to what is going on around them, it’s just that their inner world is much more stimulating and rewarding to them.Hence why they're Introverts. Pretty self-explanatory.
Introverts typically relax at home or in nature, not in busy public places. Introverts are not thrill seekers and adrenaline junkies. If there is too much talking and noise going on, they shut down. Their brains are too sensitive to the neurotransmitter called Dopamine. Introverts and Extroverts have different dominant neuro-pathways. Just look it up.A completely missed point - read up on the ISTP personality type and see why I said it. This wasn't just generalising it, but rather missing the entire point, spreading a disinformation.
Introverts cannot “fix themselves” and deserve respect for their natural temperament and contributions to the human race. In fact, one study (Silverman, 1986) showed that the percentage of Introverts increases with IQ.That "myth" is just ignorant as hell and doesn't even deserve any attention. Introverts aren't dysfunctional people, as Introversion isn't neither a mental nor physical disease. The "study", however, I cannot comment on, as I have to find it and read the entirety of it before giving my opinion on it.
