Are You Shy?

I don't agree with the categories. It says stuff like I prefer to use logic and reason when dealing with problems, which I do, but then it thinks that means I must lean toward science and maths, which I don't.

I'm looking at the personality club one Shiels posted an image from and it's unworkable. Case in point,

Question 1 – How do you get your energy?
Extraverts = E
  • are generally sociable
  • are focused on the outer world
  • get energy by spending time with others
  • talk a lot & start conversations
  • speak first, then think
  • are quick to take action
  • have many friends & many interests
Introverts = I
  • are generally quiet
  • are focused on their inner world
  • get energy by spending time alone
  • mostly listen & wait for others to talk first
  • think first, then speak
  • are slow to take action
  • have a few deep friendships & refined interests

I am sociable, but I'm also focused on my inner world. I get energy from spending time with others and talk a lot and start conversations, but I also listen and wait for others. I can be both quick and slow to take action and I have lots of interests, but a few deep friendships. How am I supposed to choose one over the other? There's too much overlap.

as far as the test goes maybe its more interesting if you answer without thinking because otherwise it can feel a bit worthless "do you tend to consider the feelings of others or the best logical outcome" what kind of psycho doesnt do both

reading the descriptions and watching the vloggers can be helpful though, it can make helpful connections in a similar way to people who are very knowlegable and entertaining about astrology.

It only works f you answer without thinking. But I've done this several times and always get the same result
 
Yes the answer is almost always “it depends” but the idea is to answer instinctively so a preference for certain approaches across enough different scenarios starts to emerge so it can make some vaguely significant inference about your character

see but you'd never have figured that out without the test
 

woops

is not like other people
i did shiels' full length test and came out ENFP-T

It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for – and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing. It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool – for love – for your dreams – for the adventure of being alive.

Did you all just go with agree or disagree, or did you click some of the "sort of agree/disagree" ones in between?
