Interesting. I come out a ENFJ. I'm interested in why there is such a black and white view about extrovertedness and introvertedness. I'd say I was different things in different situations. There are times to be part of the party and others when sitting with a book is the right thing to do Personally I don't feel that as an extrovert ( and I'd not say I was very extroverted) I've become introverted through blogging or social media but I have become more introspective. To me that's a better word..... Liking the new site, Richard I'd not done a Myers briggs test before. Interesting. I come out a ENFJ.

You need to concentrate on the person you are not. If by the end of your life you do not become your opposite, you will be unfulfilled." So I whole heartedly agree!

Online, one can pretend to be someone else or only show one or two sides of themselves. I havnt taken the test yet, but will. When I observe you in the online world, I think of one who is always thinking, seldom reactionary, and always philosophical. That is the side of you that I see.

I've really enjoyed watching your "Visible Authenticity" develop over the past months. Clearly you are teaching by the doing. Right on Liz,
