Extrovert or Introvert? TEST

[imperfect_cupcake]

These things facinate me. I used to be an Introvert, for years but I think since I was towards the middle of the scale, I flipped over to extrovert after my wife left and we had moved to Oxford, working at home and suddenly realised that I loved people, a lot. And needed their company and warmth. and that I was genuinely interested in them. Almost all of them had some story to tell... and gaurenteed every person knows something I don't.

I took this test (link at bottom) a few times over the years and watched myself shift and although I'm not too sure about the whole Keirsey Bates thing... I do think it's a great tool for finding out if you are an Extrovert or an Introvert and to what degree, and how that influences how you socialise and process information.

I'm an ENFP

Your type is known as the Champion type, which is part of the larger group called idealists. Nothing occurs that does not have some deep and ethical significance in your eyes. You see life as an exciting drama. You are very charismatic, yet tend to be too harsh on yourself for not being as genuine as you think you should be. 3% of the population shares your type.
As a romantic partner, you need to talk about what is going on in your life. You are a strong supporter for your partner's efforts to grow and change and be happy. You need to feel that same support from your partner. Expressive, optimistic, and curious, you are eager to enjoy new experiences with your partner, whom you wish to be your confidant and soul mate, as well as play mate. You are uncomfortable sharing negative emotion, though, and tend to withdraw from confrontation and process your feelings privately. You feel most loved when your partner appreciates your creativity, accepts your uniqueness, and sees you as the compassionate person you are. You need to hear your partner tell you how much you mean to them and would love if they did thoughtful spontaneous things to demonstrate it.

bolded bit is very wrong!!! The rest is pretty accurate.

ESFJ-The Provider

Providers, a subgroup of the Guardians, take it upon themselves to arrange for the health and welfare of those in their care, as well as being quite sociable. Wherever they go, Providers take up the role of social contributor, happily giving their time and energy to make sure that the needs of others are met, that traditions are supported and developed, and that social functions are a success. Providers are extremely sensitive to the feelings of others, which makes them perhaps the most sympathetic of all the types, but which also leaves them rather self-conscious, that is, highly sensitive to what others think of them. Because of this Providers can be crushed by personal criticism, and will work most effectively when given ample appreciation both for themselves personally and for the service they give to others. This is not to say that Providers are afraid to express their own emotional reactions. They are quick to like and dislikeand dont mind saying sotending to put on a pedestal whatever or whoever they admire, and to come down hard on those people and issues they dont care for. You share your type with 10% of the population.

I will take the test later,but I will say for the most part im pretty laid back,untill I get into something that rocks my world then im hell on wheels.

[Heavenleahangel]

I am ESFJ the Provider. I would kind of agree to that. I think I am also a guardian, counselor and protector. Pretty cool in my opinion.

[imperfect_cupcake]

It's my theory that most people using internet forums etc are "I" rather than "E" - tis test was put up at dyke london site and a poll was taken about how many were "I" rather than "E"... 72% were "I" - really disproportionate!

I should have made this a poll as well... I might make another thread for that...

but keep results comming... it's interesting!!

[Nerdboi]

Very interesting. According to the test I am about 3% of the population, no wonder no one understands me lol.
