    Hmmm. What if I am wrong about my type, dang it.

    Don't want to mess up your poll.
    You seek a great fortune, you three who are now in chains. You will find a fortune, though it will not be the one you seek.
    But first you must travel a long and difficult road, a road fraught with peril.
    You shall see things, wonderful to tell. You shall see a... cow... on the roof of a cotton house. And, oh, so many startlements.
    I cannot tell you how long this road shall be, but fear not the ob-stacles in your path, for fate has vouchsafed your reward.
    Though the road may wind, yea, your hearts grow weary, still shall ye follow them, even unto your salvation

    i vote energy im an extrovert and i can come up with one explanation for this is ILEs have bad Se in fact its our role function so we chastise ourselves about it point is we are aware of our lack of ability to get ourselves to do things or outward energy and with a highly critical attitude one may tunnel on that negative awareness and forget about the other stuff it just feels like i lack energy in general when thats not necessarily the case make sense?

    Information as an Introvert.

    But hey, Te PolR so d'uh.
    Projection is ordinary. Person A projects at person B, hoping tovalidate something about person A by the response of person B. However, person B, not wanting to be an obejct of someone elses ego and guarding against existential terror constructs a personality which protects his ego and maintain a certain sense of a robust and real self that is different and separate from person A. Sadly, this robust and real self, cut off by defenses of character from the rest of the world, is quite vulnerable and fragile given that it is imaginary and propped up through external feed back. Person B is dimly aware of this and defends against it all the more, even desperately projecting his anxieties back onto person A, with the hope of shoring up his ego with salubrious validation. All of this happens without A or B acknowledging it, of course. Because to face up to it consciously is shocking, in that this is all anybody is doing or can do and it seems absurd when you realize how pathetic it is.

    It sometimes seems I lack an immensely-encompassing memory. I've got enough energy and information, I may actually be addicted to both - not the kind of 'random facts' information that you have to surf the net for, it has to be deeply connected to my professional interests so far or fascinating / puzzling.

    Both lol. It's always helpful to know whatever you can, it's always helpful to have the power to do something with the knowledge...

    It's probably my diet. Eating healthy gives you good energy I should really start doing that more lol.

    By 'Information', in context, it must mean do you ever feel that you are ever lacking in terms of new...stuff, whether through perception or through good analysis, or do you feel that you more often feel drained of energy before you deplete the world of such 'information' resources?

    At age 47, I definitely lack the energy I had when I was twenty. And the fact that I consider it as lacking, should be interpreted as me having difficulty accepting my age...

    Thus: NTR.

    I sometimes wonder about the sexual life of men over 45. Is it true that you have less libido and vigor?

    Let me put it like this: when you are over 45, you realize that most women are simply not worth the trouble, and this in particular causes lack of vigor, which is actually a lack of motivation. When you are young, you are much more indiscriminate when it comes to the other sex (or same sex if you're gay). When you're older you can still have a lot of vigor with the right woman, if she pushes the right buttons, so to speak. It's more a matter of things between the ears instead of between the legs.

    That being said, I myself still have at least one orgasm practically every day. Very occasionally I might skip a day, but on other days I easily make up for the losses.

    Long story short: on average the notion that libido and vigor decrease later in life is true, but there are great personal differences, and external circumstances also play a big role in these differences.

    Quite often I feel that introverts feel stress and internalize it and in doing so may create a lack of energy. I do feel that given comfortable conditions of lesser financial stress, most introverts that are feeling a lack of energy may actually feel better, this is just a theory

    I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

    Masturbating also helps. That's not just a theory, it's a fact

    To me, information leads to solutions. I can be very tired, but even still, I will still spend time searching for information. I feel I have resources of energy on reserve, but the tantalizing information has to be hunted down.

    But first you must travel a long and difficult road, a road fraught with peril.

    What you defined as Information may not be what the person who posted the test defined it as. Since, in context, means you inferred the answer. Inference denotes implicit information and not explicit.

    So, with that said, Someone could read information and understand it differently(in relation to energy) and more or less be just as accurate as you are. I think understanding that conundrum might help shed light on the question being asked.

    I did lack of information as an introvert. In my head information translates to factoids or inferences drawn from an outside source. Very Je. Energy is self-evident, and to me is very Extrovert-y. I would think an EJ would feel as though they lack niether.
    Projection is ordinary. Person A projects at person B, hoping tovalidate something about person A by the response of person B. However, person B, not wanting to be an obejct of someone elses ego and guarding against existential terror constructs a personality which protects his ego and maintain a certain sense of a robust and real self that is different and separate from person A.
