oops... proving that I'm not particularly observant, I clicked the wrong box :doh:

I was quite the interactive child- my parents left me on the bench in the mall talking to strangers when they went Christmas shopping! There must have been something wrong with me because there were no takers on the kidnapping front or anything :blush:

It probably would have ended like The Ransom of Red Chief if they had!

I totally forgot to make results public, if people could post what the said because the E and I are imported to know aswell.

Interactive, I'm lead to believe you couldn't shut me up. Didn't vote E or I.

I was an observer who wanted to be an interacter.

hard to answer this thread.
I guess it depends on the situation.
I guess i've always been a passive interactor.

well overall of course everyone differs on situational circumstances but what did you feel most comfortable doing in a new situation (I kind of wanted old situations aswell but if you can't decided based on that then just new, i feel like i've rambled)

yea, observer in brand new situations. I'm very uncomfortable in that position though. I'd rather be atleast a little familliar and interactor.

I was an observer, and still am for the most part. Only recently have I even started to be any kind of interacter.

Why?
I was usually the observer that would eventually, and quietly instigate the interacters to throw things... It was fun to see how easy it was to push their buttons...

Observer.

My parents could put me on a blanket in the yard and I'd just sit there, taking everything in.

If I was with other toddlers I would play with what was in front of me, and if another kid took my toy I didn't really care.

From what my mom says, I didn't shun things or people, but I certainly didn't need them to be preoccupied.

According to my mom, as a very young child I was quite "interactive" or possibly "hyperactive." But by the time I was old enough to have much memory, I think I became much more of an observer. I definitely am now. David Keirsey's latest book labels my type as the "Tactical Responder." I think that describes my mode of operation for most of my life perfectly.

can I say both?
Actually more of an interactor, so long as people weren't involved. I just did my own thing, got kicked out of kindergarten because of it. The rebel I was.

Falcarius was interactive and somewhat extroverted child, or at least until he was around twelve or thirteen million years old when he went into his kill and destroy mode.

I'm pretty sure I was more of an observer as a kid. The way I see it, I spent a while gathering the tools I needed to interact with full force later on in life :)
