Myers-Briggs
INTJ -
INTJs are analytical problem-solvers, eager to improve systems and processes with their innovative ideas. They have a talent for seeing possibilities for improvement, whether at work, at home, or in themselves.
Often intellectual, INTJs enjoy logical reasoning and complex problem-solving. They approach life by analyzing the theory behind what they see, and are typically focused inward, on their own thoughtful study of the world around them. INTJs are drawn to logical systems and are much less comfortable with the unpredictable nature of other people and their emotions. They are typically independent and selective about their relationships, preferring to associate with people who they find intellectually stimulating.

Because I do music there seems to be an assumption that I have great social skills, but the fact is is that I just squeak by on most days. I am incredibly shy and easily hurt by social situations because I don't cue into early warning signs. On top of that I sit on the cusp of between F & J in the form that in many situations I value others more than myself. I have a short list of intimate friends. These precious few that I feel comfortable with that I don't need to seek quiet time away to recharge.
I also have given up on trying to keep "private" because misinformation about me seems to be the norm. I would rather deal with my own gaffes then try to wind my way though social political landmine fields to fix a misperception.
Currently, I am in world of hurt because in the last few years I have not had enough energy to put toward delving into "what was really going on" vs "taking things at face value".
