I'm a youth librarian and I perform high-energy programs for kids of all ages, usually several programs per week. I sing, do silly dances with the kids, storytell, read books aloud, tell jokes with puppets, etc. I love entertaining children, and I love being in the spotlight -- for that 45 minutes the program is going on. If I didn't get some down time alone afterwards, I'd feel so stressed out. I really don't want to socialize with anyone afer I've just spent time being "on stage", and that includes even being around people I love and am comfortable with. <br/><br/>I also wanted to say I agree with what you say regarding personality type vs. psychological type. I will never understand why there are so MANY people out there who cling to the stereotypes in Keirsey's descriptions (and other similar sources) and believe them to be accurate predictors of what everyone would do in any given situation. <br/><br/>Sarah<br/>(ISFP) re the Steve Martin story — I can totally relate.
