The personality instrument I used was the Myers-Briggs, which looks at personality. It measures four different areas of personality between two extremes. Most people are somewhere between the extremes, but tend to be dominant in one direction. My personality is ISFJ. This is what myplan.com says about my personality:
- Introverted: Inwardly directed emotional focus, concentrating more on their own thoughts and ideas than on external stimuli. Draw energy from within, comfortable being alone, at peace with themselves. Words that describe introverts: shy, reserved, thoughtful, quiet, interesting, complicated. The opposite of introverted is extroverted.
