Ann-Marie,

I have taken Myers-Briggs personality test and what I got of it is to know that I am not alone in some of the qualities and characteristics that I have.  I am an INFJ by the way.

You might want to check out the book “Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking” by Susan Cain.  She has a terrific Ted Talk you can find on YouTube.  Reading this really helped validate my introversion.

I find that I don’t like small talk but rather deep, meaningful conversations.  That is a characteristic of my Myers-Briggs type and Susan goes into that in her book.  So I know that there are some people are those who can relate to me and others find it hard to do so and visa versa.  The key is just to be yourself and be ok with those people who cannot relate to you.

Let us know how it goes,
Mark
