I'm defintely an 'Innie', married to an 'outie'. We've read a great deal about temperament and Myers-Briggs theories and so on so are comfortable with the idea of being different and having different needs, but hadn't realised it was hard-wired in our brains in a measurable way.<BR/><BR/>The 16types site (particularly the page http://www.16types.com/Request.jsp?lView=DynamicPage&Content=BerensInteractionStyles) explores these themes from the personality point of view, with four 'interaction styles' described - two 'innie' and two 'outie', although they don't quite put it that way!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11835205817921501248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-30320260370545422762007-07-22T13:25:00.000-04:002007-07-22T13:25:00.000-04:00I am definitely an "innie".

I think I have way higher energy than my social butterfly of a husband. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-81951524210728698652007-07-18T11:52:00.000-04:002007-07-18T11:52:00.000-04:00"Extroverts, on the other hand, will tend to use s..."Extroverts, on the other hand, will tend to use speech as a pathway to thought; talking will often help them to clarify what they think."<BR/><BR/><BR/>So very, very me.

As a clergymsn, this was handy as I often chaired meetings and each Sunday I was seen as the authority figure. I figure it is a "control" issue. I like to feel my self in control which is probably why I don't take any intoxicants.Tossing Pebbles in the Streamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04354065895900279070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-84539538928758064472007-07-18T07:30:00.000-04:002007-07-18T07:30:00.000-04:00I have an old friend that must have read this book...I have an old friend that must have read this book...she told me I was a major innie sometime ago.<BR/><BR/>Of course, I knew this already!

I've joked about my mind working like a search engine--needs a word or phrase in order to look for the information!PBShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01672893473413051922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-88142511309746641292007-07-17T23:45:00.000-04:002007-07-17T23:45:00.000-04:00All of these sounds like me, too!
