I started out as an ISTJ and in my mid-40s, coinciding with going back to school for my master's, I morphed into an ESTJ! Ambivert really describes me much better, as I still need my alone time to recharge. Perhaps I can borrow this when I lead my class through True Colors next semester.

Yes, I just made up a new word, as if ambivert wasn't new enough. I really enjoy being with people, but now I need my downtime to recover. I think that's the biggest change. It bothered me at first, because I think people thought I was being unsociable when I was frequently the center of the action. But I've accepted this, and am much happier.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05777222768227948847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-84658460295746665082016-11-08T12:11:01.888+08:002016-11-08T12:11:01.888+08:00Hi Mackenzie!
