Ahh, Jan. 2. The day that introverts get to breathe a sigh of relief. We can come out of hiding; it's safe to answer the phone, and to stop pretending we're under the weather. Hip Hip Hooray! The holidays are over.
Yes, from mid-December through New Year's Day, those of us with an introverted nature live in a state of perpetual dread. The weeks of office parties, neighborhood potlucks, and open houses drain all our energy. But today we can relax; we made it through.

Here's another good article on Introverts vs. Extroverts, especially during the holiday season. Tomorrow my day job kicks back in, after a couple of weeks ago when I was dreading that holiday luncheon so bad that I actually got sick and left an hour before it started. Urgh. Not going to win that "Little Miss Perky" prize, am I?

Hmm, I'm an ESFJ (1% Extraverted, 1% Sensing, 62%Feeling and 11% Judging).
No major surprise here...
I'm INFJ or ISFJ (equal scores on intuition and sensing, probably why I can never make up my mind), not that I needed at test to tell me that I'm strongly introverted. That, along with my ambivalence around participating in Christmas, does make for an uncomfortable December.
