INTROVERTED THINKING IN THE INTERNAL WORLD/IN YOUR HEAD OR HEART: 

  • Work that requires you to use strict logic and order
  • Anything that doesn’t recognize your intuitive wisdom
  • Activities which require you to internally process and discriminate logic from illogic
  • Work that requires you to seek clues and root causes, like a detective
  • Having to solve other people’s problems (often or repeatedly)
  • You need to have people in your life to help you see the logic in situations since this is an area you are going to struggle with
