But, as Lida, our resident shrink, has pointed out ... the Myers-Briggs has to be taken with a grain of salt ... there's an interesting theory out there that the way you test in the inventory in your 20s and 30s actually then moves to the opposite traits once you are moving through midlife and your (Jungian) spiritual crisis is in full gear. Bet you didn't even know that was happening!
So, those who have a tendency to be very extroverted, may become more introverted, desire more time alone with their thoughts, live in the world of ideas, in the mind more ... and introverts may start to gravitate more to social activities and find people less threatening and more interesting. Again, just one theory among hundreds regarding the mysteries of the mind and who we are and how we operate.
Lida, I am taking liberties by calling you a "shrink" and do apologize if that's a bit bold. It's the Jester in me making me do it ... the Jester made me do it, Ma! Now you can see why the Royal Court needs a resident psychiatrist!!
Jester loves lying on couches (preferably with a warm body nearby).
