hi, I'm an extrovert! or am i?

hi, I'm an extrovert! or am i?

The first time I was tested for Myers-Briggs, I scored right on the border between introvert and extrovert. I thought that was interesting, as I often wonder on which side of the coin I fell, because I seem to be inconsistent when observing my own actions. Sometimes a certain situation pushes me one way or another. When I was in college, I lived in the dorms for 3 years. But I was around people all. The. Time. I relished the…
