answer:I’m an extrovert, high energy, high mental energy, talkative and outgoing, but…yes, I have really mellowed in my middle age, love my solitude, can spend days just doing my own thing and while I like interacting with others I value my own company equally so. I will never, however, remain quiet and reserved when with others, moderately at times, but I’m a joiner and a talker and a leader. I feel very well integrated and balanced these days, Infact I call myself the “extroverted hermit”. haha I’m also a fan of the Enneagram personality profiling and test as a number 7 “The Enthusiast” with the 8 wing of “The Leader.” I can say that my desire to lead has fallen off markedly in my middle age, but my enthusiasm is still my strongest trait, I get very excited over new projects and ideas. Yes, I’ve mellowed quite a bit but I’ll always be more of a firecracker than a flashlight. My body will burn out long before my brain no doubt. ;-)
