With the 3 and the others, I think there may still be hope.

i dont think E has to do with being around people or not. i find myself alone most of the time. it has to do more with how you respond to others, i think..

But do you want to be around other people when you are alone. My brother is an ENTP and he says he can't work when it's too quite. He needs people around.

yeah...depends on if it's a creative pursuit that i'm fully engaged in or something i don't really wanna do but have to...if it's boring i'd want people around to talk to occasionally...bounce ideas off of maybe...or just keep me from falling asleep.

really? im the other way around. if its boring & i have to do it, i tell people to leave me alone til im done so i can think about stuff & be miserable by myself. if its just BS, id rather have people around so i can just play

to each their own, i guess.

Extraversion (according to jung): Is dirrecting and receiving your psychological energy from outside. I call it being mindless.

Wow, I completely disagree with your editorialization there. I think Jung would too. Extroversion is no more necessarily mindless than introversion is necessarily shyness.

An example of someone going to receive energy from the outside.

Just to clarify how ridiculous this "mindless" notion is, one should consider those of us sitting on the cusp between E and I. I'm E according to MBTI, and I by socionics (and virtually every other test). So I'm this deep, mindful creature under one view and a nincompoop under the other? Honestly, I think the tendency for broken Is to assume that Es are in some way defective or incomplete is just away to make themselves feel better about their own inability to connect with things in the world outside. I rarely see healthy, content Is saying silly things like this. They have enough sense to recognize that it's really not a matter depth, but style.

I actually read through the whole 10 pages of this thread.
Great start, tragic finish. Kind of reminds me of Vanishing Point.

You'd think they'd be something to do with feedback involved in extroversion.
Projecting outwards, gathering feedback and projecting outwards.
I feel I'm an introvert because I tend to get sucked into my thoughts. It's less about feedback and more about sorting what's there.

It's hard because everybody does everything, but some do more and some do less.
