It is probably a question of introversion vs extroversion. Do you feel drained after spending time with people or do you feel energized?
Of course, most people would answer "It depends". The company, your mood, how much time you've spent alone beforehand. I don't want to dismiss the philosophical spirit behind the post, but I feel MBTI could potentially answer some of your questions.
p.s- I suspect you're an ISFP.
I wasn't really asking those questions from myself, I already know the answers.
Lol, your guess couldn't be more far off (edit: okay, not that far off, I do recognise myself on some of those traits). I have done the test and I'm INTP-T, I actually did it again for fun because the last time I did it was 6 months ago and I was in a very different situation back then, but yeah, the same results.
I still think you're an ISFP though. You are scoring as an INTP because of the emergent Ni, your tertiary function. Doesn't really matter, obviously you know yourself better than me. But for the sake of curiousity, the keys2cognition test is more accurate (although most MBTI are shit). Give it a shot. Cheers!
My comment to you in our other thread of conversation, I am actually referring to the Briggs/Myers test. Many people on Steemit seem to be familiar with it. How interesting. I am the INFJ-T.
I've taken it about once per year for the past 3 years, and it always yields the same result.
I was actually going to refer to you this convo but I didn't get that far! :D I knew that you would be INFJ, just from the rarity of it, and the turbulent part doesn't surprise one bit :P
:) We aren't much different. You are a rare one too!
I've found those tests to be rather unreliable and possibly invalid. But they are good conversation starters and occasionally a fun pastime. I find the theory (Carl Jung's theory of personality differences) underpinning them suspect.
My interpretation of what @eveuncovered has told about herself and of what I've seen in her blog is that a) she's clearly more introverted than extroverted, b) she leans toward S rather than N because she is a cook by profession and has photography as her main hobby and rarely discusses any abstract topics, c) I actually have no idea whether or she leans toward T or F based on what she's written and d) she seems more P than J. @eveuncovered knows herself better than any of us but she strikes me as a very strongly introverted but novelty-seeking free spirit.
Yeah, my thoughts exactly.
