    • I know you lean so much on the introversion personality. Majority of introverts possess this personality type. I am also avoidant. I tend to avoid people so much not because they irritated me or did something wrong. I tend to feel I am not up to talking – not in the mood to talk.
      Thank you too and thanks for taking the quiz.

    • From your post, I noted you’re an introvert (or am I mistaken). Reflecting on past events and preparing for possible oncoming events is one of the major signs of this personality trait.
      Thanks for taking the quiz.

      • Good heavens!! I am a great party organiser, have raised toasts, conducted shows………………

        I reflect because I have plenty to. I have travelled a lot and just re-live those and other memories sitting in my favourite corner (lol).

        I am a senior and at this point in my life I re live on memories rather than creating them.

        • Hahahaha…I have understood you. At your age you have to relieve the things you did, reflect on past memories.
          I know that’s common among the seniors. The time to relax and look back.

  1. Reflective: They are thoughtful. At the end of the day they go through the day’s happenings and analyze how it was. How did they behave? How did they react to a comment? Positively or negatively? When a not-so-good situation happens how will they deal with it? They reflect how they behaved or reacted and how they ought to behave or react when the situation presents itself once again or several times.

    Great quiz! Answer is very accurate.

    • Thank you for taking the quiz. As an introvert, I knew you might display this personality trait as is the case with History Gal. And, I was right??
