I have always thought of myself as fairly outgoing, and being labeled as an introvert seemed strange to me. When I though about it, though, I realized that the test was (of course) fairly accurate in this assessment; I even recalled a few individual items on the test that proved this point -- my need to "reenergize" with some alone-time after hanging out with friends for awhile, or my preference for quite time at home as opposed to parties on many occasions (HumanMetrics 2011).

I certainly gained a new respect for this tool after I had seen it in action (and an open mind that is always looking for new information is another INTJ feature!).

All in all, I would have to say that this test is astounding in its ability to determine the basic personality of an individual. The work that must have gone into developing the test and analyzing/describing the various personality types is enormous, I'm sure, and it shows in the simplicity and effectiveness of the finished product. Highly efficient, and thus highly enjoyable......
