Re: Personality

Just done the test, result 20/80 introvert -I'm the same as you Maryl

Re: Personality

I've not done the test, but I would say these days I'm an introvert, but I wasn't always.

In my youth I was the joker in the pack, the one who made people laugh, the one with the comical expressions then, for about 10 years in the 80s/90s I was a semi-professional singer which means I sang in pubs and clubs, with my partner who played keyboards so yes, I was very much an extrovert back then. You have to be when you've got about 300 people watching you on stage.

I am definitely introvert now though.

Re: Personality

I'm an agnostic, could never make mi mind up which way to go, but joking aside, I am definitely extrovert, but only to cover my indecision and insecurities about my life as I get older

Re: Personality

I think a lot of us who would really rather have stayed home with a good book when we were younger went with what was expected from the "let's party!" crowd of contemporaries as we'd have been considered weird if we didn't go along .....

Re: Personality

exactly the same for me mags, although I find it easy to interact on line, and voice my opinions, I am quiet and reserved when in company although I have just been told I am partially deaf, which I never thought I was, any way I now am the proud owner of 2 hearing aids, which are in a box in mi pocket, compliments of the NHS, now I have been told the cost of them, I am too scared of losing them

Re: Personality

Apparently I was right I am 50/50 and this is what it said
You're a bit outgoing but also a bit reserved
Like most people, you enjoy being social
But you also value the time you have alone
You have struck a good balance

Re: Personality

Quite so Eileen one of the joys of getting old is you can be yourself and do as you please without being considered to be particularly weird

Re: Personality

Yes, and isn't it liberating, Meg!

Re: Personality

50/50 on the test. I'm an introvert til I get to know you. Made me think a bit... I'm an extrovert with my close female friends and family but was an introvert in my marriage and now in my current relationship.

Re: Personality

Wow! what an interesting topic, did the test and come out 50/50 which is probably what I thought but then decided to get a definition of an introvert on About.com. I would have defined an introvert as being shy and quiet but it is apparently much more than that and shyness is not necessarily a trait. Reading their definition I now know I am 100% an introvert I fit the profile exactly. So I raise a glass to introverts everywhere it's not a bad place to be.
