This personality thing everyone's been doing...

Depending on the test, it's a toss-up between INTP and ENTP with me. Probably also depends on whether I'm feeling more or less hospitable towards the world, too *g*. Shouldn't they have some kind of middle-ground-letter for those who score about 50/50 ? An introverted extrovert? Or an extroverted introvert?

I think these tests have their results influenced for a bit by the mood you're in etc.

I'm an INFP (http://www.mypersonality.info/personality-types/infp/) myself.

I think it's dependent on the way they set the questions whether I get ENTP or INTP. When I read the descriptions, both apply to a certain extent.

Actually, you can be both extroverted and introverted. Most people are a bit of both sides, but with a predominance towards one side or the other. It depends how marked the predominance is as to how much of the other side you have. So if you are 53% introverted, that also gives you 47% extroversion. Your introversion wins out most times, but not always.

Also, when it comes to introversion/extroversion, we live in a predominately extroverted world, and those with introversion generally learn to fake a certain amount of extroversion in order to exist in the world.

I am also an INTP. But for me, I normally score somewhere in the 90% range for introversion, which gives me very little extroversion, but just enough to stop me becoming the crazy cat lady recluse!

Actually, you can be both extroverted and introverted. Yes, i know that, I was just wondering wheteher anyone would redesign any meyers-briggs type test to put those of us who are in a middle for any given quality :)
I score mostly evenly extroversion/introversion, depending on how the questions are worded, I guess, and dependent on my mood. Though I've noticed the trend being towards more introversion as the time passes - either I'm getting disillusioned with people or (preferably) I'm not so much worried any more about trying to be more social :)
