Drumroll please.....
This is the last of the MBTI dichotomies, friends!
Here is Part 8 of the 8 part series: "You might be a..."
Be sure to check out the other 7 posts for signs of Sensing, iNtuition, Judging, Perceiving, Thinking, Feeling, and Extraversion preferences.
You might be an I (Introvert)…
- If you often pause to formulate your response before speaking…you might be an I (Introvert).
- If you get frustrated when others (extraverts) try to finish your sentence during those pauses…you might be an I.
- If you get an invitation for a party that says it will last “from 8pm till the sun comes up” and immediately think to yourself “Okay, I’ll be done with that by 10:30pm”…you might be an I.
- If you return from a family vacation and feel like you need an extra few days of vacation to be alone and re-charge…you might be an I.
- If you’ve ever had someone say “I can tell you’re thinking something…what’s going on inside your head.”…you might be an I.
- If you have a small, very tight circle of friends and consider everyone else acquaintances…you might be an I.
- If you LOVE the day before a holiday when most of the office is on vacation and everything is quiet…you might be an I.
- If the idea of working from home…alone…makes you giddy…you might be an I.
- If it annoys you when someone pops by your cube to get your opinion on a brand new project…you might be an I.
- If you regularly follow-up meetings with an email to everyone saying “I was thinking about what we discussed in our meeting today and I wanted to add that….”…you might be an I.
- If your teammates regularly have to ask your thoughts during a meeting and you realize you’ve been having your side of the conversation in your head…you might be an I.
- If it shocks you when random strangers share aspects of their personal lives…you might be an I.
- If you decide whether or not to go to a party based on which specific people will be attending…you might be an I.
- If doing group activities like team-builders make you cringe…you might be an I.
- If you get frustrated or annoyed when someone “calls you out” in a meeting and asks your opinion without warning…you might be an I.
- If the phrase “Think out loud” makes no sense to you…you might be an I.

If you ever have to fight the urge to grab a cell phone away from an extrovert, and shove it up their ***, while telling them to SHUT UP, you might be an I.
Wow!! Breanne, you've worked hard to get these posted! Congratulations! I can identify with some of your "I" descriptions as well. Does that mean I'm bipolar? ;-) This is one preference where I can see myself on either side, although I do often share a little too much of myself with strangers (i.e. on blogs). I don't mean to; it just pops out while I'm not looking... :-(
Oh, and BTW, I was "thinking out loud" to myself over at my blog about "Bre-Day."
Let me know what you think?? :-)
@anonymous- I LOVE IT!!! That was hilarious! I am assuming you are opposed to allowing cell phones on airlines!
@Linda McKenna- Have you taken the MBTI Step II? You may be Out of Preference (OOPS) for some facets of introversion.
And as for Bre Day...I'm SOOO excited!!!
Breanne,
People have been tased multiple times for less offensive behaivor. I'd like to tase a few overly loud and overbearing cell phone users a few times. It might not get them to stop (unless I can zap their cell phones), but I sure would feel better, and maybe the pain they experience would be remembered the next time they reach for their cell phone in public.
Yes; that's mostly all me. I must have learned some E along the way. I usually don't get caught in a meeting having a thought still in my head. Or maybe that's a brazen side of me.
Neither I nor E.
This is great Breanne. Thanks.
