NOTE: This is not an introduction to MBTI.
1-5:
Dead on. I love each and every description. It's great. Accurate as far as I can tell.
6:
I think that this honestly could be related more to the difference between J's and P's more so than I's and E's.
J's want control of their environment, P's want to be a part of it. (J's will often have clean desks/rooms, for a P, this might feel foreign.)
7-8:
Also dead on, as far as I've seen.
9:
I do this also, so I don't know why they're saying it's an introvert thing.
10-11:
Both interesting and correct, far as I've seen.
12:
This part says that introverts would rather be an expert at a few things before trying EVERYTHING.
From what I've seen, I'd actually say this is a difference between iNtuitives and Sensors.
iNtuitives tend to look to the future and to possibilities, S's tend to look to the past and to what's grounded in reality.
13:
Interesting. This is probably true of non-theater kids, but I'll let this one by.
14:
Screening calls? Eh, I've done that, but that's because if you look at the function stack, I'm an introverted thinker (Ti), which means that I prefer to process internally, and then bring them out. If someone is an extroverted thinker/feeler (J), they probably wouldn't have as much of a problem with this. Just my thoughts.
15:
While introverts are silently taking in more than extroverts, what the introverts take in will be determined by whether they are an N or an S. If they are an S, yes, that statement is dead on, they will be noticing facts and details. If they are an N, they will be quietly noticing the connection between things.
16-17:
Both interesting. I did not know either. Very cool.
18:
Old soul?
Hmm, I think that this would depend on whether or not they introvert/extrovert their feelings, and whether or not they are an N (noticing connections and so forth.) This whole part seems very subjective.
19:
Interesting, I totally get a high from my surroundings if I'm with a lot of people. Just ask anyone that's spent an extensive amount of time with me.
20:
Sigh. Another N/S difference. It says it in the book.
21-23:
Correctumondo. (Yay, three in a row!)
So, as you can see, I take issue with quite a few things in here. And my conclusion is that trying to look at just one set of letters without the others is a serious mistake.
Nerd rant = = Over
