This is completely true for me! I'm pretty extroverted on the 'net, but in real life I'm pretty shy most of the time. I can be extroverted in real life, but mostly around my family and close friends. Most of the time I'm just a quiet person.

Yes, not unexpected. Did the test before. Had about the same results. Ta-da
Hmmm Based on a number of the comments, maybe we just have a bunch of introverts around here.
Hmmm I suppose I'm more used to the MBTI type conceptions of Extraversion/Introversion (see below) where its supposed to be about preference/energy and is mostly or entirely in reference to social things. Hence why the questions are written the way they are.
Jung is a bit different, but it looks like his concepts wound up winning the dictionaries.
Although Jungs thing is odd in that it seems to involve "external reality" to mean things beyond just social situations. An extrovert that avoids social situations but does something else.

Well I became very interested in this topic after Roddish was talking about it (I'm his wife, hello, nice to meet you), and I've been snooping around looking for information about the whole shebang.
I think it's important to understand Jung's definitions of the psychological functions first in order to interpret the results of the test. It's also important to consider that the Myers-Briggs indicator diverges from Jung's original theory. However the source, 'Psychological Types' by Carl Jung is a stinker of a read (it doesn't help it had to be translated from German) so I only really recommend it to those who's interest extends beyond the casual, although he has a separate chapter at the end of the book specifically for definitions which is great for a quick reference. I asked around and was promptly directed towards Socionics. Socionics.com offers a lucid introduction to the types uncluttered with academic jargon.

Geez, I am just the most moderate thing out there...
Don't think there's a prize for that.
INFP too XD
I took a test very similar to this earlier this year for my psych class. If I remember correctly I scored with an INTP, which was called an architect. Apparently most of the geniuses like Albert Einstein, and Steven Hawking are architect types as well. I hate to sound conceited, but I have always felt that I was a bit smarter than most, and I’ve been told constantly throughout my life that I was extremely intelligent. My school marks would not back this up because through most of my time in school I moved around place to place never really making many friends. This on top of having to constantly do group work showed my grades to drop as I got further along in age and grade level.
The one thing I noticed though was whenever I did a solo project like a book report for example, that I knew I was not going to have to present; I would blow my teachers away. My teachers would always make comments on the works about how I don’t apply myself in class an asked why all my work wasn’t this good, well back then I didn’t really know. After taking the Brigg’s Myer’s Test though and reading more into I think I finally understood why. Knowing this I’m no longer bothered by my poor performance in school.
According to the test I took INTP’s make up less than 1% of the population, which I think is pretty cool cause I’ve always liked being “Different”, and my best work most definitely comes when I can sit down and not have to work with anyone else. I have a strong pull towards doing everything perfect at these times on top of that which is a very big pain in most cases because I’ll work the day away without even noticing.
The point I’m trying to make is that in my experience at least I find this test to be very accurate. My psychology teacher who administered the test said himself that he took it about thirty years ago, and when he did he scored as a teacher and thought to himself that the test was flawed or wrong. Then what happened? He ended up becoming a teacher about ten years later. I’m not saying this is the ultimate and only test, but it does happen to be accurate at least some of the time.

I know Wiki is not always the best choice for facts, but from what I already know I would say this is basically an extended version of my post. I don’t remember where it was but I saw video once that said working alone is actually the best for most people, because they can let their ideas flow freely without having to worry about what someone else thinks.

slightly surprised, but I don't think answering a few questions can accurately pinpoint my personality to any degree.
This was entertaining though ^-^
