Differentiating Introverted and Extroverted Types

[Hugo]

Thanks.

Would this test work for ESFjs who tend to act as if they are in a rush. However they are comfort orientated.

Would an ESFj pick comfort or energetic?

Hmm....good question.

Hey, yah the comfort/energetic thing totally works for me . .

Wait... sorry... I, uh.... read it wrong. My enfp friend prefers energy.... I prefer comfort. My INTP friend prefers comfort over energy. I don't know about ENTPs.

I have my moments.... but I'm not an energetic guy. Very laid back. The only energetic type-thing I've ever been into is like when you perform... But other than that, for the most part, I like to be laid back.

My perfect euphoria is being able to sit back, think, breathe the cool air, play my guitar, draw, write, etc. Maybe hang out with some close friends/ family.

I'm also not sure about the xSTJ's.... I'm not sure that a ESTJ prefers comfort over energy. ESFJs I think it also kinda depends.... but in their youth I think they prefer energy.

This is one that I think corresponds pretty well to I/E. I think extroverts are more thirsting for that energy than are introverts, for the most part anyways. Thats why they crave that social interaction... because they gain energy from others. Thats why introverts need their alone time, because too much interaction takes energy away from them... and its not that they crave the gain of exess energy from being alone, it's that they regain that energy they've lost.... alowing them to be comfortable. It's hard to be so when in a worn out state.


And thats all folks.

Harry has a point here. Extraverts will risk comfort in order to gain more information or socialize. I have ended up in many physically and emotionally uncomfortable situations chasing some potential, at least for a while.
I love to travel, even to foriegn countries and I force myself to learn some of the native languages. I sleep in strange places, eat strange food etc. In my head all of this is exhiliarting and exciting but when I asses my physical state I have to say it is exhausting as well.
On the other hand after a week or two spent away (no matter where) I cant wait to return to the comfort of home, to my own room and bed and be surrounded by my books and nicknacks, and for some strange reason, get back to work Maybe I just cant wait to show the picuctures and tell about my adventure
I would love to sit and draw pictures and play the guitar like Harry. That would be heaven. Sometimes my mind and body will not allow me to. I try to but then the phone rings and somebody says 'Hey what are you doing?' 'nothing why?' 'Cmon we're going .....'
I dont know how this fits in cause I really seem to like both. I suppose if I had to pick one and only one I would say comfort. So consider the above as a way to illustrate how someone could have a difficult time answering the question.

You think Im crazy huh?
