i get a lot of "are you ok? you sure seem quiet."
yup, just fine. me not talking non-stop is in part because i don't need to .. but also because you haven't stopped talking since the moment we encountered each other. being "quiet" isn't a fault.

I took a crappy one:
52% ESTJ
18% ESFJ
9% ESFP
6% ENTJ
5% ISTJ
Where are the good ones you all are taking?

celebritytypes - despite the name, I thought this test asked more provoking questions than some of the other on-line tests.

I took the 16 personalites one, same think. ESTJ.

Why isn't this a source of controversy in your houses? My wife has always gotten frustrated at my lack of interest in socializing and especially hosting things. It has made our marriage difficult at times. Obviously compromise is necessary sometimes but for me, it's very difficult to talk with people I don't know well.Jayrod said:

It's a drop in the bucket issue and has really become a net positive. I need my non-stop going out ways curtailed or I run myself into the ground. She needs to be pushed out the door so she doesn't become a hermit. We even each other out.

admitting that you don't see eye to eye on everything and that your marriage and spouse aren't perfect is frowned upon in polite society

We feel like we compliment each other well. We give each other space, and don't always have to be doing the same thing together all the time. I'm more than happy letting her go do her thing, and she doesn't need me on her side at all times.
I'm not so introverted that I'm paralyzed around other people - I don't mind having people over socializing, it's OK, really. not a huge deal, as long as it isn't all the time.

It creates a nice balance, it's not healthy to be all one thing or another, so being forced out of your comfort zone once in awhile is a good thing.

I had the same experience. Technically speaking, I'm an ESTJ, but I'm pretty close to being an ISFJ. Either way, I'm awesome.Sabertooth said:

I moonlight as an extrovert but I am definitely an introvert

My situation sounds very similar to yours. I'm waaay introverted, wife extroverted, although she says I'm making her more introverted as time goes on.

This is me, though I crave social engagements slightly more than what you're describing. Often my wife will organize something, my first reaction will be dread, but I'll have a great time and say we should do that more often. Yet I'll never take the initiative to make plans with people. So overall I'm really grateful for my wife's extrovert personality.moleculo said:
I'm also really awful around stupid or boring people, which gets excruciating if it's a husband/bf of one of my wife's friends. I would say I'm stimulated by good conversation as much as anyone, but more intolerant and more easily annoyed by a wider range of personalities than most.
I disagree that introverts would always prefer solitude. I think we all need human contact to stay happy and sane; introverts just get filled up quicker than extroverts. I would say that a person who never wants to be around other people is not well.

Agree. It is definitely good for me to get some social time, but I certainly don't need it as often as the extroverts I know. Plus, highly social situations are physically and mentally exhausting for me...

I'm one of those people that in certain social situations many would think I'm the most at ease extrovert there is. I'm the guy that organizes the annual golf outings, couples trips to New Orleans or Vegas, groups going to concerts or festivals, etc. I also lead a sales organization. I am very outgoing in those arenas. I'm good a public speaking because I have to be, but I don't really like it. It's part of the gig. But I can be an introvert too. I'm not the sales guy who is at a conference and can work a room. I'd probably not be good at having real game with the wimmenz in a bar situation, though with a few vodka's in me my rap would improve. I like people, I crave social interaction, but sometimes I dread the small talk. Sometimes I'll initiate conversation only because I feel the other person is more uncomfortable than I am. So I'm not a social bumblebee. So in that sense I'm an introvert. But when I get to know someone and feel comfortable it's a different story. I genuinely am interested in their story. Have had great conversations with Uber drivers. But not as many with the person sitting next to me on a plane.

This is me. Most people would guess that I'm a hardcore extravert, and I enjoy and do well in social situations, but I like my time at home and am far more comfortable doing things by myself.

I think I am introverted, but the questions on page one validate the blurriness.
Would you rather spend your Friday on the couch watching a movie with the family or at a cocktail party with a bunch of people you don't know? I'd rather slam my #### in a sliding glass door, repeatedly, than do the latter.
Do you gain energy from being alone? Or from being around a group of people? Unless I'm running it's the latter. The more nothing I do the less I want to do. I enjoy my alone time, but it certainly doesn't energize me.

This is a pretty good explanation of me as well. In particular, what I've found lately, is if I'm in a public setting with a few people I know and a lot of people I don't know, now I just tend to hang out with the people I know instead of mingling with new folks. This isn't because I'm not comfortable in doing so but because I just rather not at this point. At the same time, if I join my wife at something of hers where I don't know anyone there and she moves off to talk to some folks, I have no problem going around and meeting and talking to other people there that I don't know.

Although I think we all suspected a introvert bias to this poll, I'm surprised how lopsided it is.

I've done some reading and implementation of Myers-Briggs personality testing in my classes. I use it at the start of each school year to help me know my classes better. Also use it in creating heterogeneous groups. Putting a bunch of ENF types together results in chaos. Putting a bunch of INF types together results in crickets. I know I'll have an easier time with a classroom full of SP types.
Most of the reading I've done indicates that across most populations extroverts outnumber introverts nearly 3 to 1. Sort of puts an end to the notion that the guys that congregate here represent a random sample of our population. We're a fairly non-diverse slice of society as a group.
