Rather than the traditional introvertism and extrovertism, i think it I & E relate to where a person derives their energies from.
Some people find relaxing easier with friend and family. Others prefer relaxing alone....
I need my 2 hours alone. If I don't get at least those, it drives me crazy. I could live in a cave on a mountain top and never miss human company, i love quiet....and after the solitude, I am recharged....and when with people, am decisively an E, lot of noise, can't keep shut !!! LOL. But I hae been classified as an I.
On the other hand, my husband is a very quiet person, but he needs at least 2 hours of socialising every day. He needs people around him, needs noise....the thought of living on a 50 acre property fills me with infinite happiness, it horrifies him...he needs people, friends, grocery shops and noise around !!!! So he has been classified as E. |
