Recently, I took the Myers-Briggs personality test for the first time in a number of years. (At least, I took an online version ... I seem to remember the real one being more in-depth.) Personality tests are something that you seem to be called upon to do a lot when you're in college, but that seems kind of silly to me now that I've been out of college for five years and realize how much I was still kind of trying to find my way around my own personality back then.

For instance, on the Myers-Briggs test, the first letter of your four-letter personality profile is either "E" for extrovert or "I" for introvert. Back in college, I used to test right on the line between the two. Now, I consistently test out as an introvert, something I used to doubt but am now convinced is accurate.

Perhaps that is why I so enjoyed this article, "Caring for Your Introvert" that talks about some of the misconceptions related to introverted people and how to deal with them. It made me laugh, because as an Extrovert married to an Introvert, I think Dan is competely mystified sometimes by my need to just ... be ...alone. But bless his heart, he tries to understand me, and if you are an introvert, or have an introvert in your life, you should read this. It's just about the best thing I've read on the subject.

And if you want to read something really funny, check out the descriptions of my personality type, the INFJ (Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Judging) and Dan's ESTP (Extraverted, Sensing, Thinking, Perceiving). Notice how none of those letters are the same? It must be true what they say about opposites attracting.
