- gerbilly 5y agoIntroversion may also appear on Myers-Briggs, but it also one of the 'Big Five' personality factors, one of the most robust findings in psychology.
- sweuder 5y agoLiterally in the article as soon as Myers-Briggs was brought up: "Personality tests are full of broad generalities that should be taken with a grain of salt. Instead, personality tests should be treated as tools for self-reflection. They are indicators of tendencies, not hard and fast rules." Just a thing to help you think about yourself, not a diagnosis. Extraversion/Introversion is pretty deeply embedded in psychological theory, even if its not easily measured directly. FWIW
