I think so. I think that’s me.
Because I will often choose to stay home. But once I’m out and about, I’m in the middle of things. Want to play Cranium, but don’t want to deal with those Star Performer cards? Put me in, coach. Need someone to speak on your panel? Sure, as long as I know something about the topic.
I think I’m going to have to look my Myers-Briggs results and see what they say.

I’m right there with you. I’d rather stay at home under my covers, but I can easily give a talk to 300 people. Unlike you, however, I don’t want to know what Myers-Briggs has to say about me.
Apparently I don’t really care, either, because I haven’t bothered to look. It’s in a file somewhere in my office (a.k.a. The Room Where Paper Exploded).
I never really thought of it before, but I think I’m with you on this one!

I don’t see why it shouldn’t count. Unless you don’t want it to. Your call.

🙂 I do think most bloggers are introverts. I’m an extrovert though but I have a “high intimacy outlier” 🙂 which makes my extroversion more moderate than it would normally be.
I’ve been reading a book that backs that up–they specifically talk about blogging, social media, and introversion.
