Myers-Briggs, Bipolar Edition?

I was reading our pastor's blog today (jonathaneverette.com) and read an article he linked to about introverted leaders.  It's funny... I've always sort of thought myself an introvert, though those silly tests are one thing today and another tomorrow... Maybe I need the bipolar edition?  I like to do quiet things... reading, writing, etc... and I like to *think* about things at length and imagine things... BUT... I'm not a very quiet person.  I talk loudly when I get excited which is often.  I laugh loudly.  I like attention when I'm with people I'm comfortable with.  I love to have long conversations with people.  But I don't like crowds.  Big groups of people wear me out and I have horrible stage fright, though I love love love performing when all is said and done (I love the rush for me, and I really enjoy seeing people respond)  And I love to have one or two extra people in the house almost constantly.  It's not really the busyness though or the noise that is attractive to me.  I like connecting with people.  I like getting to know people better, and probably somewhat narcissistically want people to know me better too.  Hmm.  Perhaps I am a repressed extrovert?  Or an outgoing introvert?  Ha.  Oh well.  I guess I've always had a hard time fitting in!

One thing I have noticed though.  Over this last year or so.  I have become more concerned with loving people than with how I am perceived.  I think that's been a good thing.  I guess I need to be careful what/who I let define me.
