Could it be for real that I've switched into the rhelm of extroverts?? What I have traditionally received on this test is ISFJ, which is the 4th choice down and the only introvert option! I was talking to friends about this the other day actually. About 5 years ago I was on the extreme introverted side--as in I answered every question refering to interverts as an introvert. No extroverted tendancies whatsoever. I realized this was something I needed and wanted to over come. As I've taken this test over the last 4 years I've seen myself progress from extreme introvert to less extreme introvert, contintually moving closer to the middle of the spectrum and towards the extroverts. I think I'm still more introverted than extroverted, but maybe this means I am closer to the middle ground for both of them. That would be pretty sweet. I bet I'll take another one of these at camp, so I guess I will see if the results are the same. As for careers, I am hoping to use this summer to gain some focus on what God is calling me to. I'm rather clueless. I am hoping a summer of processing the last year will help that, as well as some inner reflection. Anyway, here are my results. Do you think they are accurate?

when i first started taking this test, i was 50/50 on the introvert/extrovert line. i have consistently moved to being more extraverted. kinda like that! although, sometimes i think the definition for extrovert changes. my favorite explanation is asking the: question where do you get your energy? if it's from other people, extrovert. from inside/yourself, introvert.

That's how I like to think of the definitions as well.
