[quote=Anonymous]On the Myers-Briggs test, I've always come out Extroverted (but close to the mid-point).  However; I see myself as introverted.

Myers-Briggs has the classic (original?) Jungian interpretation of extrovert and introvert, with (ok going off memory here so someone feel free to correct me) if you need to talk to think, you are an extrovert, and if you need to think before talking, you are an introvert.  So it's not as much about sociability.

Re sociability, I need to do the stuff PPs said above, the recharging, etc, and don't enjoy gatherings of people, and just like my one-on-one friends.

However; I've also noticed that it depends on how one's life is going. I think that each of us is somewhere different, comfort-wise, on a social continuum between boredom and stressed out.  I've noticed that if the current environment a person is in demands too much sociability for their particular comfort level, and then they say they're introverts.  But not enough, and then the person thinks they are an extrovert.  Does that make sense?  In today's day and age of loud noise and constant stimulation, I think many of us feel that there is too much going on and want to retreat.[/quote]
