Party pooper!
But I'm so intriguing. Tell you what, if I had to wake up tomorrow and be another type, I'd be INTJ. At least I'd still be in familiar territory.

Extroverts are, on average, way happier so I guess one of those.
ENFJs are supposedly pretty happy too.

No, no, no...no. No. Not even. No. Or maybe yes, if by "happier" you are referring strictly to presentation as opposed to internal experience.
Many extroverts have spent a lifetime being somewhat "forced" into formal and informal leadership positions and subsequently...many feel a strong sense of responsibility to others/the group. They will frequently sacrifice what they truly want...they will minimize their own needs for the sake of others...and often fall into the habit of presenting with a positive facade...while falling apart on the inside from neglect.
ENFJs top the ^^"that kind of extrovert" list.
Yes, but your head is being colonized by florists.
Extroverts also sacrifice quite a lot in the name of "high fashion and astonishing beauty."
Now that you mention it, what *are* those red marks all over your avatar's face? (@grey_beard prepares remote intra-atmospheric optic probe...)

I've seen a bunch of psychological studies that suggest extroverts are happier. Also, this Keirsey one: http://keirsey.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/happiness_survey_graph.gif
Well, I've seen a bunch of scientific studies that say otherwise.
Well, feel free to post them. Here are a bunch that suggest extroverts are happier. This, btw, is not to suggest that extroverts don't have problems. All humans have problems, but some types so tend to be happier than others:

Perhaps extraverts and introverts just find happiness in different forms.
