Thanks Akposb.
The problem is I still don't know the reason why I'm shy and you can't solve a problem without knowing the cause of it. And I'm working on my attitude toward new people that's why I joined you guys. I hope to meet some nice people.

I think being shy is genetical and the background where you grow up also has a lot to do with it.

Peaches you are right to say you can't solve a problem you don't know about. Maybe a little bit of introspection will do to completely eliminate it or reduce it. Being shy though is not all negative but it shouldn't be overwhelming.

Introvert Personality Types

The Architect INTJ

It’s lonely at the top, and being one of the rarest and most strategically capable personality types, INTJs know this all too well. INTJs form just two percent of the population, and women of this personality type are especially rare, forming just 0.8% of the population – it is often a challenge for them to find like-minded individuals who are able to keep up with their relentless intellectualism and chess-like maneuvering. People with the INTJ personality type are imaginative yet decisive, ambitious yet private, amazingly curious, but they do not squander their energy. To Continue reading https://www.16personalities.com/intj-personality

The Logician INTP

The INTP personality type is fairly rare, making up only three percent of the population, which is definitely a good thing for them, as there's nothing they'd be more unhappy about than being "common". INTPs pride themselves on their inventiveness and creativity, their unique perspective and vigorous intellect. Usually known as the philosopher, the architect, or the dreamy professor, INTPs have been responsible for many scientific discoveries throughout history. To Continue reading https://www.16personalities.com/intp-personality

The Advocate INFJ

The INFJ personality type is very rare, making up less than one percent of the population, but they nonetheless leave their mark on the world. As Diplomats (NF), they have an inborn sense of idealism and morality, but what sets them apart is the accompanying Judging (J) trait – INFJs are not idle dreamers, but people capable of taking concrete steps to realize their goals and make a lasting positive impact. To Continue reading https://www.16personalities.com/infj-personality

The Mediator INFP

INFP personalities are true idealists, always looking for the hint of good in even the worst of people and events, searching for ways to make things better. While they may be perceived as calm, reserved, or even shy, INFPs have an inner flame and passion that can truly shine. Comprising just 4% of the population, the risk of feeling misunderstood is unfortunately high for the INFP personality type – but when they find like-minded people to spend their time with, the harmony they feel will be a fountain of joy and inspiration. To Continue reading https://www.16personalities.com/infp-personality

The Logistician ISTJ (I fall in here smiley )

The ISTJ personality type is thought to be the most abundant, making up around 13% of the population. Their defining characteristics of integrity, practical logic and tireless dedication to duty make ISTJs a vital core to many families, as well as organizations that uphold traditions, rules and standards, such as law offices, regulatory bodies and military. People with the ISTJ personality type enjoy taking responsibility for their actions, and take pride in the work they do – when working towards a goal, ISTJs hold back none of their time and energy completing each relevant task with accuracy and patience. To Continue reading https://www.16personalities.com/istj-personality

The Defender ISFJ

The ISFJ personality type is quite unique, as many of their qualities defy the definition of their individual traits. Though possessing the Feeling (F) trait, ISFJs have excellent analytical abilities; though Introverted (I), they have well-developed people skills and robust social relationships; and though they are a Judging (J) type, ISFJs are often receptive to change and new ideas. As with so many things, people with the ISFJ personality type are more than the sum of their parts, and it is the way they use these strengths that defines who they are. To Continue reading https://www.16personalities.com/isfj-personality

The Virtuoso ISTP

ISTPs love to explore with their hands and their eyes, touching and examining the world around them with cool rationalism and spirited curiosity. People with this personality type are natural Makers, moving from project to project, building the useful and the superfluous for the fun of it, and learning from their environment as they go. Often mechanics and engineers, ISTPs find no greater joy than in getting their hands dirty pulling things apart and putting them back together, just a little bit better than they were before. To Continue reading https://www.16personalities.com/istp-personality

The Adventurer ISFP

ISFP personality types are true artists, but not necessarily in the typical sense where they're out painting happy little trees. Often enough though, they are perfectly capable of this. Rather, it's that they use aesthetics, design and even their choices and actions to push the limits of social convention. ISFPs enjoy upsetting traditional expectations with experiments in beauty and behavior – chances are, they've expressed more than once the phrase "Don't box me in!". To Continue reading https://www.16personalities.com/isfp-personality


There are other personality types but those are Extroverted. The Commander, The Debater, The Entertainer e.t.c

Why don't you do a personality test and know where you stand... wink

This is to Olarewajub to GloryIssac.
Talking about personality test, I have used Tim Lahaye's ideas as presented in his books ' Opposite attract' and ' Why you act the way you do'. I appreciate the ideas expressed in the post above but I think it is too scientific to require my reading pleasure.
The eye-contact assignment is okay but I think there have no feedback because most of the participants in this thread have not achieved that feeling of community but I believe other ideas can help to foster cooperation. Well done to both of you.

Hi, using Tim Lahaye's temperament analysis, what's your own combination Bro

Happy weekend guys!!!

So before the Introvert Challenge 1 finally ends, i will like to share my thought and experience about making eye contact as an introvert.

While growing up, i had the impression that making eye contact with elder people was a sign of disrespect and conotes improper up bringing. As time went on, people started making remarks to me on why i always look at the floor when i’m being talked to, and then i knew something wrong.
This prompted me to do a research on the topic and i eventually found that making eye contact is an important element of an excellent conversation, portrays confident and an act that must be practised by everyone which still does’nt still make sense to me as this was done to suit extrovert.

To be able to successfully practice the act of making/maintaining eye contact, you’ve got to first familarize yourself with people around you and target maintaining brief eye contact. From here you’re going to discover its an easy stuff. There are tonnes of articles online on how to successfully do this. In all, maintaining eye contact is cool, but it really drains alot of energy which might not be healthy for introverts.

Hmmm genetically?
no i doubt it,it's due to societal upbringing.
I mean the environment you grew up in,coupled with the mentality they (parents/siblings/environmental peer group)imbibed in you.
