Testing yourself using this 60-year-old test, which has been enhanced over the years, will generally reveal a great deal about your personality, including whether you are an extrovert or an introvert. The full test, which should be taken in the presence of a trained Myers Briggs representative, is long and in-depth but very accurate. It can help you see how you think, feel, and make judgments and decisions, and can be a valuable life tool.
Standing for visual, aural, read/write and kinesthetic, the VARK Learning Profile identifies how people learn best.

Most classes include children with a variety of learning styles, so good teachers create lessons that reach everyone.
Working as a team is important in education and in careers. An instrument called Belbin's Team Roles, created by R. Meredith Belbin, describes different types of personality and how they work in a team. These types include "shapers," "coordinators," "plants," "implementers" and "team workers." An ideal team, Belbin said, would contain people with each of these personality types. The descriptions reflect extroversion and introversion but also confidence and conformity.
The Keirsey Temperament Sorter classifies people by job roles and has similarities to the Myers Briggs test in that it considers extroversion and introversion. Keirsey's four main groups are "Artisans," "Guardians," "Rationals" and "Idealists." This test is most often used in the business world but is also a helpful indicator for students considering several career options.
