Dare I say....BBC, go Brit tv, apparently its something to do with the relationship between the parts of the brain responsible for certain extrovert/introvert traits and the parts of the brain responsible for stimulating saliva. It was part of a show called 'The Human Mind' featuring my favourite Prof Robert Winston. I like Prof Winston even more than I like Prof Snape!

Blasphemy! If GROPE Snape still existed, you'd be on trial young lady.
Interesting...I was thinking, maybe if you're an extrovert you kiss more people so you have less saliva. Heh *ignores groans of all the other members*

I took one of those tests a few years ago at school, and I ended up as an introvert. It actually was one of those ones that tests in 4 areas, and when you put them all together, it supposedly gives you a pretty accurate personality thingymajigger. I really wish I'd kept the little paper talking about the personality type I am... I kept it for about a year, but now I don't know what happened to it. Sometimes it seems like I'm more extroverted though, cuz I really don't mind being the center of attention when I'm with my friends, and I don't mind sucking up either. But I do really appreciate my me-time as well.

i thought i'd bump this...
i also took that quiz with the 4 personality types...and mine was very accurate. it gave me introvert, though, which didn't make sense, but it was cool when i put them all together and it was like "GAHH! it's me!" lol.
i used to think i really was an introvert, until i discovered my accute fear of being alone...so i'm definently an extrovert.

Well, not exactly. An introvert isn't necessarily someone shy or whatever, it's someone who gets their energy or whatever from themselves. An extrovert gets their energy from being with people. I have a lot of extrovert traits, but overall I'm more introverted. I took that test a few days ago online (I'll try to find the site again for you guys), and I got INFP, which is Introverted, iNtuitive, Feeling, Perceiving. Put it together, and you get someone who won't kill bugs. That's me!

i do too...but this is what i realized, actually today.
whenever i'm alone, i do something that involves other people. stay with me, here. some of the things i do when i'm alone:
1) come on here. obviously, this involves people. i don't feel like i'm alone, because...well...other people are here.
2) email and instant messaging. same as above.
3) drawing. i'm drawing people...so i'm with the person i'm drawing. (i know that sounds crazy, but i really DO connect to the person i'm drawing, and i ALWAYS draw people.)
4) reading and writing. i'm with the characters.
it's really very strange...but when i'm alone, i get scared. like a few nights ago, i couldn't sleep...and i thought i was angry about something, and i couldn't figure out what was going on...until i realized i was just terrified. it was SO weird...there i was in my bed in my own house, and i was just so scared. strangest thing...
so yes. i'm definently and extravert.

Meh, I took another test, and it said I'm INFJ, so instead of Perceiving, I'm Judging... Which I guess is kinda true... it has to do with basically whether you're really organized with stuff, stick to deadlines, and like to get things done, or if you're more messy, never follow deadlines, and procrastinate a bunch. See, at first glance, my desk is really messy, but I know where everything is. And at school, I'm really organized. I always turn in schoolwork on time, cuz I think I'm afraid of losing the 4.0 I've worked so hard for since I was 11. However, I'm really good at procrastinating, and tend to get things done better when I really don't have time left. Except I have to work at night. I'm not a morning person. I love putting things in order, and when I was little, I used to sort all my M&M's by color before eating any, and then I'd start eating the color that I had the most of, and I had a certain system for eating them, until I had one left from each color. I should try that again, it was really quite amusing. Anyways, I'm really just writing all this out cuz I feel like it, and you guys most likely won't even read it, so I guess I'll stop writing, but there's just something comforting about the continuous typing and stuff. I don't really want to stop. Ah wellz, I guess I shall anyways.
