It's true at least in my case. Everything I say is a first draft, I really want to take it back and revise.

So through talking with a friend I learned that these are different traits not contradictions. I'm introverted (I prefer to be alone, I prefer quiet) but I'm outgoing (not shy, take charge, etc).
I think you have to have enough introversion to dwell on your ideas until they're fully cooked and also to work alone writing, but you do need enough outgoing-ness to put your work out there.

So to answer the question: among people who are open and display a gregarious nature I tend to reciprocate in kind, and among people who are more reserved I display a more formal side of my personality that can be described as "quiet".

I get the exact same result.craglejosh wrote:I definitely fall into this category. On the myers-briggs personality tests I typically get INTJ, with 100% introvert. I am typically pretty terrible at small talk as well.

Also small talk is torture.

I will agree that being child-like is an invaluable quality for a writer. It is far too easy to lose curiosity and wonder as we get older. Glad to see so many of you stay true to yourselves!
