Have you ever read the book Quiet by Susan Cain? If not I think you should look into it. It's about the power of introversion in a society that is very extroverted.
Yes! I've read it and it is one of my favourite books :)

I am now an Adventurer ISFP-T
Oh hey there! You favourite inconsistent introvert on tumblr is back for her yearly much anticipated post.
This past week was ‘happiness week’ at work. One of the first events organized by the company was a discussion about personality types, where we were split in several small groups to discuss this theme. Lovely – great start.
This got me thinking about personality test. It has been years since I took the online personality test and decided to re-take it. I was quite surprised to see ISFP-T on my results screen. Until now, I have always considered myself to be an INFJ-T, based on a previous result from years ago.
From what I can gather, I am an Adventurer.
I change during the course of a day. I wake and I’m one person, and when I go to sleep I know for certain I’m somebody else.
Accurate. Very accurate. I literally feel like I change as soon as I step out of the house, my car, work etc…
Strengths: Charming, Sensitive to Others, Imaginative, Passionate, Curious, Artistic.
Weaknesses: Fiercely Independent, Unpredictable, Easily Stressed, Overly Competitive, Fluctuating Self-Esteem.
On. Point.
I have decided to skip over the friendships, relationships, parenthood results – which I would be happy to go over and elaborate on another time (I can probably dedicate another post or two - in a year’s time? - about this.
When it comes to workplace, the workplace,
the position that feels most unnatural to Adventurers is management. They are not a domineering personality type, and take no joy in exerting control over others, planning long-term goals, or disciplining unsatisfactory behavior.
I have been working in a managerial role for the past year. Building a team from scratch, providing ongoing training, setting goals, delegating work… it has not been plain sailing and has been overly stressful at times.
This being said, I am grateful that I was given this opportunity as it has taught me A LOT.
Conclusion: Whether it is finding (or keeping) a partner, reaching dazzling heights on the career ladder, or learning to plan ahead, Adventurers need to put in a conscious effort to develop their weaker traits and additional skills.
I will leave it at that, as it once again scarily on point.
I would LOVE to hear from you! What is your personality type and do feel like it is truly in line with who you are? (You can take the personality test from - https://www.16personalities.com/)
💯 YES!
2 years later
The last time I logged into this account was around 2 years ago. My life has changed SO much... let’s just say my life is much more in order now.
Sadly, during the past couple of weeks we have been all been effected by Covid-19. I am working from home and am staying inside pretty much all the time.
So how did I end up back here?
ALL.OF.THE.ABOVE.
What has not changed during these 2 years, is that I am still an Introvert. However, I am not quite sure I can relate to all these memes/ quotes.
While yes, I am more of indoors kind of person and staying at home for days does not seem like a bad idea after all, I LOVE, NEED and MISS my alone time. Don’t get me wrong, I love my family - they’re my whole wide world.
BUT... Is anyone finding this whole thing somehow exhausting and getting some time alone has become merely impossible?
Dreading the yearly Christmas staff lunch/dinner - The compulsory Secret Santa exchange makes me anxious af.
Do not underestimate me simply because I'm quiet
Mandatory Christmas staff parties... HO HO NO!
It’s that time of year again...!
Guilty as charged!
Being sensitive is not a weakness!
Interesting post by Adam Grant.
“ If you've ever wondered which countries have the most introverted vs. extraverted norms, here's a map of the data from 51 cultures.”
Wishing you all a lovely weekend!
”Yes, I’d like to get to know you. Tell me about yourself, what you like, what you dislike...tell me anything. But please don’t expect me to ask a lot of questions. I don’t want to make you feel uncomfortable. And most importantly,
Don’t mistake my lack of questioning as lack of interest!”
