	<description>I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf mutes ... or should I?</description>

		<description>Nad,

The first thing to remember is that this isn&#039;t about reducing people to an acronym.  What it is about is one way to describe groups of people in terms of what they have in common.  It&#039;s about tendencies, groups, and one way of looking at people.

Having said that, I&#039;ve read the description, and it does sound a lot like you.  I think that it describes only a part of you, and there is much more that is praiseworthy besides.

The Myers-Briggs Type Inventory, to give it its proper name, is apparently one of a range of tools that psychologists use to quickly gain an appreciation of someone, in order to help them out.  If I were you, I&#039;d treat this as a useful insight into parts of your character that you can use to help you in life and work.

I am an ENFP, which is quite similar to you, only with Extraversion rather than Intraversion.  One key insight that this gives me is that I need to restrain my natural tendency to hold up both ends of the conversation, but to listen closely and carefully.  That&#039;s the kind of thing that this is useful for.

Introspection often feels awkward, but remember that the first enemy to defeat is oneself, and you cannot defeat something without knowing it.</description>
