When I was introduced to personality type in the 1980's by taking the MBTI, and found out I am an Introvert, it was a very powerful experience. Finally, I understood my behavior in large groups of people and my desire to often spend some time alone to "think things through". Prior to that I thought there was something the matter with me. It also explained why I developed very stressful headaches when spending a lot of time with groups of people. When I began to monitor my energy, my headaches went away and stayed away as long as I made sure I had some time alone each day.
