In the Myers-Briggs typology (a test I originally took back in a psychology class in college) I am an INTJ. (See here, if you'd like to take an online version of this test)
For a less scientific online quiz you could try this one:
You Are 20% Extrovert, 80% Introvert |
 You are quite reserved You aren't afraid of social situations... But you very much prefer to go it alone And why not? You're your own best friend! |
I don't think I would say I'm my own best friend (and, side note: I consider Philip my best friend and I consider several other folks close friends) not least because I think that I am often my own worst enemy.
Here are two books that have been helpful to this self professed introvert:
The one thing that annoys me most about the introvert / extrovert question is the assumption that introverts should adapt or learn how to be extroverted. I, probably needless to say, think it should be the other way around.
