• If your “I” partner gets frustrated with you because you keep interrupting him in the middle of his statement…you might be an E.
• If the idea of working from home (alone) makes you nervous…you might be an E.
• If you have no idea what the phrase, “I’m speechless” means…you might be an E.
• If long pauses in a conversation make you extremely uncomfortable…and you HAVE TO fill the pauses with SOMETHING…you might be an E.
• If everyone recognizes who you are by your loud laughter…you might be an E.

• If you’ve ever felt the need to “talk something out” or “think out loud” to decide how you feel…you might be an E.
