The "I" in my Personality Test result POSTED AT 02:13 PM in My Life and what's left of it... An ex co-worker of mine "forced" me (hehehe) to take this test this morning. Oh well, he gave me the link and told me he wanted to know if our personalities are compatible, LOL! Ain't he sweet? Well, he's a sweet young man alright but I know what lurks behind that scheming brain as well, he isn't a "Strategist" for nothing! Anyways, thanks "guapo" for sending the link (aghhh!), I like the result. I actually remembered taking the same test 3 years from now and I think nothing has changed, I'm still the Introverted-Sensing-Thinking-Judging me... Hmmm... I guess you're quite confused now, I'm actually talking about my Personality Type Result @ www.mypersonality.info. So here's my result:
Being a band's vocalist, a constant host of several programs and events, a used-to-be College Instructor who entertained her students, it seems impossible that I'm anti-social right? I'm not anti-social I guess. It seems I don't mind being with the crowd. I don't mind seeing myself in parties or any crowded activity, but I realize, though I don't necessarily hate crowdy events, I'd rather be alone in my room, curled on my bed, reading a book or writing silly stories and poems. I remember the times when I dine alone, watch movies alone or go shopping alone... Yeah, I was alone, but not really lonely. I like doing things alone. It seems for me, things are easier to accomplish alone, not that I minded the inputs of others. I'm grateful as well as in need of other's knowledge as well, they're very welcome. it's just that I tend to get faster results when I work alone. I like doing things alone as well, makes me enjoy those activities with myself, like watching movies for example. I appreciate the company, but I like going to the cinemas by myself better. Also, I always avoid being a burden to other people. I've never been a clingy person. I find it hard to "entertain" others or make sure they're ok and comfortable with the things I want to do. So I guess I'm really introverted eh? Listening to: On My Own from Les Miserables Feeling: calm 2 comments now. Add yours.

First let's try to define introversion. It is a mode of psychological orientation where an individual's energy is derived from internal world of emotions, thoughts, ideas. An introvert therefore is inwardly focused. People who are introverted listen more than they talk, but they do want to express themselves. They feel comfortable being alone. They keep a few friends. This doesn't mean they hate being in a relationship or they hate society. They are not anti-social.
Antisocial is a type of a personality disorder. If I'm not mistaken it belongs to cluster B personality disorder. The erratic, dramatic, emotional cluster which includes narcissistic, borderline,histrionic and (as I've mentioned) antisocial personality disorder.
The antisocial personality disorder involves a contemptuous behavior towards others. These people are what we call psychopaths - people like Jesse James, Charles Manson among other notorious criminals. They are charming though. They know how to manipulate people hence, they easily capture their victims.
And you seem to worry about your consistency. An individual's personality is mostly permament upon adulthood. People with say, personality disorders or phobias cannot totally change but they can modify their behavior.
