Whoa. A) Not all introverts are created alike. B) There is no reason that any two people, whatever their personality makeup, have to enjoy the same social situation. These are things where personal experience matters. > So, a few questions for ya'll and everyone else on the list: There are some good personality 'tests' out there.

There aren't universal right or wrong answers to these questions. Rather, there are answers that are more right for you. > My experience with most people has been that they believe > the I/E contrast to be black and white.
