Great question. It sounds like you are a huge introvert like me. Yes, when you're with a large group of people, you have to adapt to the situation. I don't think it's lying. It's rising to the occasion. If I want to be friends with any of them, it's usually another introvert. So, if I get together with them at another time, it's ok to bring it down a couple of notches.

I know everyone has an opinion, and not everyone in the psyche community discredits it. All I know is that it has helped me to understand myself, the others around me, and how to relate to them. Myers-Briggs nails me to a T.

My pleasure. Thank you for coming and for your question.

Good question. When my wife and I were dating, we found a book by Tieger and Barron called Do What You Are. We went through it together and discussed all the questions. Because we knew each other well, we we able to confirm the answers. That's how I figured out I was an INFJ. I suppose the best way to take an assessment is with a certified MBTI counselor, but I found discussing things with my wife was pretty effective.

I first discovered Myers-Briggs in 1997. I've taken online test since then just for fun. The result is always INFJ. That's my destiny. :)
