Are you a true introvert?

I spotted this quiz when watching the banned Iceland advert. It says I am a true introvert, as I spotted the rogue items within a second or two. Part of my work used to be to spot the occasional abnormal cell amongst thousands of normal ones on cervical smear slides, so it seems I was in the right job! The introvert character traits mostly applied to me except the artistic and talented part. smile

How does the ability to spot an anomaly in a picture mark you out as an introvert? (FWIW I got them all except the butterfly!)

I spotted them all very easily, I've done the Myers-Briggs (INFJ) but on the other hand I loved giving illustrated talks when I was working and have done a couple since I retired, yet I found it difficult chatting informally afterwards to those who had been at the talk. Although I am out and about a lot and meet up with friends I do like my own company and am quite self-sufficient.

If only it were that simple. Tired of seeing this type rubbish on the internet. Are you autistic? do you have OCD? A narcissist? Psychopath? or anything else you care to mention.

Seems I am an introvert always thought I was ?

Got them all, but knew already I was an introvert. The problem starts when all your family are extroverts. DH, DDs1 and 2 and DS also their partners and children are all extroverts. I am quite happy on my own, like my dogs company but otherwise get on fine alone (when allowed to). Told its not good for me but I find it quite exhausting sometimes.

The Christmas season is upon us, and our hearts sink when we receive the dreaded party invitationz, two so far this year. We don't seem to be able to refuse for fear of giving offence, and it is lovely to be asked, but we simply hate being up too late with people who invariably drink too much. New Year's Eve is a total nightmare: no escape till after midnight! We 'd much prefer to stay at home by the fire on these dark winter nights. Bah humbug!

Found them all really quickly, except for butterfly and 'candy'. But I already knew I'm on the introvert side.

From their description of extroverts, my dd1 is a classic textbook case! Needs other people, activity, socialising all the time - always has. Luckily her dh is very similar.

Got them all really fast - most before the timer - but I am very much the definition of an extrovert. So I don't think it means anything. I teach fairly advanced maths so I'm trained to spot one error amongst a whole page of workings. I think finding them fast is more to do with that than my personality.

I got bored though and kept moving the video on to the next bit as soon as I'd found them. I couldn't be doing with sitting there for the 15 seconds so I guess that bit figures!
