With so many interesting blogs this week, of course there would be some related to the more introverted.
In defiance of the label for labels sake, there are of course other topics of interest beyond our type style for me.
Blogging,
Social media.
What’s going on in our world. And of course more.
Maybe you have interest in some of these topics as well.
We are all multi-dimensional and so if we follow blogs, my guess is our reading interest isn’t all on one side of the scale of personality type with so much to choose from. Here are my favorites.

How companies like Amazon are harnessing the quiet power of introverts at work
Let’s start with a short personality test. For the following adjectives, indicate the extent to which each describes you, with a five indicating “very much so” and a one indicating “not at all:” assertive, talkative, bold, not reserved and energetic. Now sum up your scores. What’s the total?
If you scored under 10 points, you’re likely to have an introverted personality rather than an extroverted one. If that is the case, you’re not alone. Studies find that introverts make up one-third to one-half of the population. Yet most workplaces are set up exclusively with extroverts in mind, which becomes clear when you look at traits associated with the two personality types. Read about it now.

Patricia — Interesting articles. I was glad to see blogging reaffirmed. The pundits keep wanting to close the lid on blogging. But we bloggers are alive and kicking. I don’t think there is any vehicle more important to establishing your brand and reputation – particularly for entrepreneurs and small companies. Don’t have a favorite blog topic except the posts I’m inspired to write because the topic touched me emotionally.
Patricia Weber says
Jeannette I see blogging being downgraded and then reaffirmed, often in the same week! I’m sure there is more evidence to support it is around. Maybe it’ll be changing from what we know but I do think as you said, like us bloggers, blogGING is here and alive.

Patricia Weber says
Kire and I won’t be targetting any book tours in Nevada. I just wish the top introvert state according to that survey, was in a warmer place.
Susan Cooper says
Hi Pat, great articles. Really interesting stuff. Not surprised at all to see California as one of most open minded states. My favorite blog topics usually center around food or blogging.
Patricia Weber says
Blogging is still a hot and always present topic. And we know food will always be – what a great topic to incorporate pictures in – when the dish prepared looks fabulous!
