Would an E need a special, secret place with no people in the middle of nowhere to recharge? That's my question.

wouldn't ANY PERSON need a special, secret place with no people in the middle of nowhere to recharge?

(come on, this question is along the lines of 'do people from the north enjoy warmth less, because they are used to the cold? EVERYONE likes warmth when its cold.)

argue your way out of that.

Didn't mean to offend. My understanding of extroversion is that you recharge by being with other people, while introversion is where you recharge by not being around other people.

not offended in the slightest. sorry if the use of caps suggested such.

i think extroverts definitely gain energy from others, and introverts do not. but i think even the most extraverted extravert disappears occasionally when life overwhelms them. plus most types pick up a shadow version of themselves under stress.

if entp, the shadow would be isfj. a negative unhealthy isfj.

I can gain energy from people depending on the circumstance, but I'm very reserved and prefer to spend most of my time in my room doing things that interest me. I think it really depends on your dominant cognitive function and probably your auxiliary to some degree.

Teddy was actually probably ESTP. JFK was more of an ENTP.

And Keirsey is a huge ***. I did mention that you have to buy into someone's type theory to buy their typings didn't I? There really isn't an objective method of typology, because ultimately typology is arbitrary -- a fact which actually kinda pisses me off, but is no less true for that.

A couple things I found on Theodore Roosevelt.....

He would later recall that in the middle of Mathematics classes at Harvard, his mind would wander from his lessons to the accomplishments of the infant US Navy.

though as I had an imaginative temperament this sometimes made up for my other short-comings.

He did well in science, philosophy and rhetoric courses but fared poorly in Latin and Greek. He studied biology with great interest and indeed was already an accomplished naturalist and published ornithologist

He was an eloquent conversationalist who, throughout his life, sought out the company of the smartest people. He could multitask in extraordinary fashion, dictating letters to one secretary and memoranda to another, while browsing through a new book.

I read some articles on Theodore Roosevelt and think that these comments all point to him being more of an ENTP.
