I do prefer solitary pursuits to socializing, but that said I still need something of a social life, and the goals I've set for myself in my career and other areas require that I "put on a happy face" and network. <br/><br/>Going to professional events is not my favorite thing to do, but I just remind myself it's a neccessary evil, like flossing. And as I do it more, I get more comfortable in those settings and have even (grudgingly) started to like that sort of thing...a little. :-) *nods* I remember when we all took the myers briggs at work–I’m by far the most “outgoing” person in my office, and everyone was surprised I came out as an I (but just barely).

It's changed the way I see myself and my behaviors, and I look forward to social situations more now that I understand what's going on in my brain. My whole family had fun taking the quiz to see who was the most introverted... I won. :) I just finished the Introvert Advantage and it was SUCH fun to see all my quirks and their genetic causes laid out in black and why.
