7. They’re very social
8. They’re very independent, and want to do things for themselves
9. They want to be the center of attention
10. They probably tend to be dramatic, and enjoy acting or performing
11. They’re outspoken and energetic and may interrupt frequently, or finish people’s sentences for them

The second type is the portrait of Introverted Perceiving:
1. Very idealistic
2. Take things seriously and personally
3. Quiet and gentle
4. Extremely sensitive
