Today is "tomorrow"

I'm not strictly an introvert, nor am I strictly an extrovert. I'm a combination of the two. I'm a Combovert. Remember: "All things in moderation." :thumbup: This way I have the best of both worlds.

When I'm home I cherish my solitude but there are times when I like to get out and socialize. When I'm on the computer, I wear my extrovert hat.

Combovert: I think I just coined a new term.....:icon_wink:

I like this answer, so today I'm a combovert! Will have to wait until tomorrow to see what my personality then is. :laugh:
I was taught the moderation thing. It's worked pretty well over the years.

I am definitely an introvert as I came across a Myers-Briggs test I took back in '94. It says I am INTJ(Introverted iNtuitive Thinking Judging). Am told INTJ personalities are quite few in the U.S. Famous people with these characteristics are Gustav Jung, George C. Marshall, Van Gogh, Yoda, Rasputin, Diego Riviera, Willis Harman, Carlos Castaneda. Introvert with a touch of nut case?

10 myths about Introverts
 
Just came across this and thought I'd share. It really spells out the true meaning of Introvert which often seems to be more about quiet vs animated. I found it very clear and yup the DH is definitely an introvert.

Thank you Lightworker. I identify strongly with the article you posted and especially enjoyed the Q&A at the bottom of the page. It shows the bias people have towards introverts.

If interested, here's an online personality questionnaire that uses the same codes as Meyers-Briggs.

ISFJs unite! :laugh:

That was very good and I identified with most of it. Now I know why I get bored so quickly with most clubs and sports that I join in the villages. I often say, "wow, here's a club or sport I will really like", and after I go once, I don't feel the need to go any more. It even happens with health clubs, and I really like the subject of health and nutrition. But I often feel I can gain more knowledge and enjoyment by reading a health/nutrition/science book at home.

Also, I don't follow the crowd, I love science, and I would rather have one or two good friends than lots of friends.
