Extroverted or Introverted?

It's funny. I have to read this book for work. The first thing you have to do is figure out your personality type. I actually cheated and took this quiz just to cut to the chase. Although the book seems a bit redundant, it has also highlighted many "reasons" why I do some of the things I do. My results:

Extroverted (E) 61.11% Introverted (I)38.89%

Sensing (S) 67.74% Intuitive (N)32.26%

Feeling (F) 57.58% Thinking (T)42.42%

Judging (J) 74.19% Perceiving (P) 25.81%

Your type is: ESFJ

The Sensing and Judging aspects could not be more spot on. Sensing refers to the way you receive and calculate information. The Judging trait means that for me, things are black and white. Right or wrong. One method to the madness. My way or the high way (just kidding, sort of).

One thing that so many of my friends and coworkers find odd is that I am only 61% extroverted. I am fairly confident that I exemplify an extroverted personality type. However, what so many people don't realize is how much I love and appreciate my alone time. I live in a household of one, and aside from financially draining my bank account each month, wouldn't want it any other way. I love having my own space, keeping it as clean (or not) as I like it, always coming home to find my things just as I left them, and a lot of peace and quiet. I also need to spend a few nights a week alone, just unwinding, in order to fully recharge. I love running errands and shopping alone too. I make myself laugh, sometimes talk to myself and frequently turn my music up louder than my neighbors may enjoy for a sing-a-long or dance party. I know that if there were flies on the walls, I would be considered a huge nerd, but I like it that way!
