<p>I'm an introvert myself. But I read somewhere that it's possible to have the best of both introverted and extroverted. It's called an ambivert.</p>

If you get your energy from being around people, and if you could spend all day at a party with 100 people you don't know, you're probably an extravert. If being around a lot of people drains you and makes you want to go sit in a dark closet for an hour, you're probably an introvert. Introverts are much more introspective. Extraverts are usually good at thinking on their feet. I probably seem like an introvert to a lot of people, because I'm very shy and I withdraw a lot to daydream—not to mention the fact that some people drive me nuts and I want to get away, lol. But I'm most definitely an extravert because I LOVE being around people.<br/> <br/> Oh, and there's no in betweens when it comes to introversion and extraversion. You're either one or the other. It depends upon your dominant Jungian function, which doesn't change.<br/> <br/> <b>@Rachel</b> - My sister's an INFJ too. :) It's so weird... there's 9 people in my family (including me) and we're all a different personality type. No wonder we have problems, lol. Most of them are introverts, so it's no fun for me. :/<br/> <br/> Yeah, the tests can be confusing. It's better to read the descriptions and choose the one that fits you best. From what I've heard, most INFJ's are Enneagram type 1 or 5. 4 seems to be common too, although I think a lot of those are mistypes. My INFJ sister is a definite 2w1.<br/> <br/> <b>@Cordellia Amethyste Rose</b> - Sorry, I didn't see that thread. I guess I should have looked.

<b>@nihapara</b> - There are a lot of similarities between INFP's and INTP's. The difference becomes clear when you look at the cognitive functions, though.<br />
<br />
The INFP's dominant function is Introverted Feeling (Fi), which means they are always very aware of their emotions. Their emotions are very rich and intense, and they focus a lot on how they are feeling (this isn't necessarily selfish, though.

<b>@nihapara</b> - There are a lot of similarities between INFP's and INTP's. The difference becomes clear when you look at the cognitive functions, though.<br />
<br />
The INFP's dominant function is Introverted Feeling (Fi), which means they are always very aware of their emotions. Their emotions are very rich and intense, and they focus a lot on how they are feeling (this isn't necessarily selfish, though. They often have a very deep understanding of all the different shades of emotion). Their personal values are very important to them. However, they are detached from the feelings of other people. Someone with Extraverted Feeling (Fe) as a dominant function would actually feel the emotions of other people (e.g., when some else is sad, they are sad, too). Someone with Fi will tend to be very honest. They would rather say how they truly feel than to say something to make everybody feel good. They are very likely to value individuality and beauty, and often have an interest in the arts.<br />
<br />
The INTP's dominant function is Introverted Thinking (Ti). For people with Ti, their thoughts and ideas only need to make sense to them. They are usually very analytical and good with details. My dad is an INTP, and he loves talking about calculus and other things that make my head hurt. He's rather absent-minded. A good way to tell an INTP from and INFP is to watch their face. While the INTP isn't as aware of the intricacies of their feelings as an INFP is, they are actually much more expressive of their feelings. When excited, they tend to widen their eyes, raise their voice, and maybe even pace around the room. This is because their feeling function is Extraverted Feeling (Fe), rather than the Introverted Feeling of the INFP.<br />
<br />

<p>INFP. Although I have gotten INTP almost 50% of the time. The F-T ratio is close to 50-50. However, I think I might be more F than T..</p>

<p>Have you ever heard of Energy Profiling? It's kind of like personality profiling, but it covers more areas of life. There are four types: Bright/Animated, Soft/Subtle, Rich/Dynamic, Bold/Striking. I've found that Carol Tuttle's system has been more helpful to me than other systems.</p>

<p>Well I'm not like Sybil lol. I don't exactly switch as it were. 98% of the time the person in my body is me. The way to look at it is my body is a vehicle and I'm in the drivers seat. Sometimes there's someone in the passenger seat and they might be giving me directions. Other times they might have a hand on the wheel so we both have influence. Only a handful of times has someone else taken over in the drivers seat whilst I have a little nap in the back.<br></br>Sometimes it's confusing to…</p>

Wow, that's really interesting. So, how do you tell which "you" is actually "you"? And do other people ever notice the changes in your personality and think it's strange?<br />
<br />
Sorry for all the questions... this is just fascinating and I love going off topic in my own thread, lol. ;)

<p>Well I let all of them take the test. They told me the answers and each one was different. I found it interesting. Sometimes it affects me, like sometimes parts of them transfer onto me like I can be highly extroverted and a people person, like Scott, which isn't in "my" nature at all. Sometimes I like and other times it annoys me.</p>

@M Hunter - Hey, that's pretty cool, lol. Do you find the change annoying or do you not really notice it?<br />
<br />
I'm still an ESFP in my daydreams, although my personality changes when I act out my daydreams from the perspective of other people. I suppose the change is just an imitation. My cognitive functions don't actually change.
