You may or may not find the following interesting but here goes anyhow.
I would just like to point out first I read a whole range of subjects including everything connected to cognitive functions in both animals and humans. In humans relative to what’s written here.
As I’ve mentioned extraverts in the past here’s some more on the whole subject of personality types. But seriously I’m not special, that’s reserved for those who tend to others on a daily basis, I just so happen to belong to a rare personality type. In any case my little grey cells couldn’t function thinking I was special, i.e., to suggest otherwise would be illogical.
When I say rare, my type makes up just 2% of the population along with Carl Jung, a proposer and developer of the concepts of the extraverted and introverted personality archetypes. George Harrison also shared the same trait as myself to wit - INFJ. You may like to find which type you belong, if so, just Google (21 Hobbies that INFJs love – Psychology Junkie nature) as a starting point. You’ll no doubt notice number one on this particular list is attributed to nature, something I share along with the interests of numbers 2. 3. 6. 8. 12 13. 16. 17. 18. And 20.
Alternately use this first link as (there are quite a few tests all listing different types of interests.) Much depending on one’s age, or social class. For example, I’m not likely to be a techno whiz kid, super academically driven, or the next kung fu expert. No indeed after all is said and done, I’m just a plain ole plebeian and from what I’ve observed long may it remain so.

The Myers Briggs type indicator is also interesting in as much as the 4 basic personality types are further divided into 16 personality types.

As you can see my personality is INFJ whom often appear as quiet, shy and withdrawn individuals, but underneath that reserved exterior is a cauldron of ideas and passions quietly bubbling away. In affect always thinking about their next project, with a fiery enthusiasm about the causes that are so important to them. Having said that the Biggs Myers test was based on Carl Jung’s work on psychological types, in particular extraverts and introverts. But here’s the rub, much if not all such tests found on line shouldn’t be understood as fact but more of a game to pass the time. Nonetheless, this particular test still turned out to be remarkably accurate in my case; taken into account its simply pseudoscience compared to Carl Jung’s work. But should you really want to know which personality type you fall into I can highly recommend Carl Jung’s book on the subject entitled psychological types.
As already alluded to introverts don’t like to blow their own trumpet it’s not part of their makeup. But I’ll make a rare exception just to further illustrate my point. I spent quite a few years working in precision engineering specifically R&D working closely with quite a few of this country’s top boffins. And take it from me when it came to any other subject other than the one, they exceled in they were absolutely hopeless; including in ways I wouldn’t like to mention here. Having said that I’ve merely scratched the surface but one type to avoid at all costs is the sneaky type. The problem is this type may well appear of good character but in reality, wear the mask of deceit, be they be extravert or introvert.
I’m stating the obvious here but…
1.Traits / behaviour, are variable in each of the personality traits.
2. Restrain from given out personal information no matter “how qualified” they profess to be.
3. DON’T part with money concerning further tests for “obvious reasons”
4. Separate from personality tests but IQ tests don’t necessarily’ show the real you.
