I have heard that joke before...at least 10 times in reference to myself, but a GPS is easier to keep up with. God speaks to me through it and shows me the way...

Sorry bro. Sometimes I take the well-worn path. All 5000 of my one-liners cannot be gems.

there must be many reasons for being extrovert or introvert besides being born as one?!?! - family upbringing, circumstances, environmental influences all play a factor too. I don't think we wear a label permanently. it takes time to get out of our shell and learning to be comfortable where you are.

Yes, yes, but my anecdotal evidence is supported by many thousands of cases over several decades, and the statistical analyses of the types with regard to Introverted Intuitives. You are an Introverted Sensate Type (probably like the TV cop Columbo ).

Huehuecoyotl said: That is another thing. I can get lost like nobody's business, unless I have a map and compass. When I was in the Army we would be in the field in areas we had trained in on many occassions and I would forget my way, but with instruments like a map and a compass I was very good. I just relied solely on the accuracy of the map and I never went wrong. Without a map I have no innate sense of direction. I am an outdoorsman at certain times of the year, but I use a GPS in these situations. If my batteries went dead while in the forest I would just have to build a shelter and live there. I am too lazy for the compass and map these days. I like going primitive, but direction is one area where I am clueless.
I get lost ALL THE TIME!!! I have lived in this county for umpteen years, and yet I still get turned around. I can only tell north and south by where the sun is in the sky, as long as it's not noon.
I call my bf when I am going somewhere that I have never been before. He lives in Houston, and I am in CA. It's pretty funny. You would think he lived here all his life, because I call him and he tells me how to get to where I am going.
Is this an Aspie trait? I think ADDers also get lost.

I think it is because I am usually so preoccupied with my internal dialog that I don't pay attention to where I am going. I lose my car in the Walmart parking lot consistantly every single time. I hate pushing that stupid cart all around the lot looking like an idiot. I once came close to reporting my car stolen before I finally caught sight of it.

I think it best we not bring up getting lost.
However it's too late for that.
I CAN'T FIND MY FRIGGIN WAY ANYWHERE. I need written directions, either with clearly and easily identified landmarks or road names.. until I've been there I'll say thrice. Once with directions being given as I drive, once with me second-guessing myself and getting a confirmation, and then i can get there. Assuming of course I care to get there again.
Out in the woods, it's not so bad. I can cut direct lines from point A to B.. not worry about taking the same route. For instance.. I know there's a trail over that way somewhere.. so let's walk this way, and cut around that thicket instead of through it. Finding a specific place in the woods, though? That's beyond me. Only the generalities really, but enough generalities to get me back on track and into or out of the woods.
Anyway.. I'm an introvert. It's not that I dislike socialization, but I've got little tolerance or patience for it, and really prefer to only be around people I know well. In bars I'm usually totally oblivious to what's happening around me. It's too loud, too much movement, I can't get any bearings and have to find a place to sit down and stare into a drink.
Self-diagnosis may be bunk but all signs do point towards aspergers. Myriad reasons why I would say so, but honestly -- do I not strike you as one? And I've worked for many years to be more.. palatable.. to the general person. There was once a time that even if someone tried to speak to me, my method of speech was so different they would be frightened off. Extended family used to joke that I was just a 19th century Englishman born in the wrong place in the wrong century, both because of my morality, studiousness and at times excessive verbosity.
I think things had gotten better when I was smoking constantly, but I'm not sure if it was exactly better or not. I did tend to be more personable -- that is, more approachable and accepting of the smalltalk of others -- but my ability to eloquantly express myself was at the same time diminished. Give and take.. not sure which I'd rather have.

LOL!!!
Once, I was in Houston, TX, visiting my bf. I had to go to the law library and do research. I parking, and made a mental note about how I parked "there", and walked in an "L shape" from my car to the law library.
When I came out of the library, I must have been turned around, because the L shape I walked ended up not being the L shape from which I originally left my car.
I called the police department to see if they had, for some reason, impounded my car. I thought maybe CA tags were enough for TX police to impound my car.
Turns out I just walked back in the wrong L shape, and 2 guys on a city cart helped find it. It was pretty funny, in retrospect.
I lose my keys all the time. I lose my car half as much as I lose my keys.

Mushmonkey!! Woohoo!! Welcome to the club!! Now we are three!!
(Actually, Renegade makes 4, but she hasn't publicly acknowledged that she gets lost, yet. But I've been with her. What she does is she drives the wrong way, first, just to get it out of the way, and then she does a u-turn and goes the right way. But she doesn't get lost like I do.)
Mush, I know that of which you speak! When I have to go somewhere new, I make a mental note that I am going to get lost, first, and then I try to leave earlier than usual.
I also have a bf who has a map program, as mentioned earlier.
What is that fuckin' trickiness with north, south, east and west???? If the sun is straight up in the sky, such as it is when it is noon, I am fucked. But if it is rising or setting, I know that the sun "rises in the east and sets in the west," and if you turn your body so that you are facing north, the direction in which the sun is setting is west, because west rhymes with left .... Did anyone understand any of that???
So if it's noon, I can't tell which is west or east, so I don't know which direction to go.
I remember this date I was out on one time. I left the table to go to the bathroom. Keep in mind that it wasn't a huge restaurant. I think I had to make a total of 2 turns to get to the restroom. But I couldn't find my way back to the table when I came out of the bathroom. I looked like such an idiot.

Yeah, that sounds about right. If I have a 50/50 choice of which direction to go, I'll choose the wrong one about 95% of the time. Even if I've been there a million times, I'll go the wrong way every now & then. And I hate malls 'cause I can never figure out how to get back to where I parked without ending up outside walking around the whole damn mall.

According to the test on http://lonerwolf.com, I'm an introvert 95%. But to me it sounds like just another way of finding labels and classifications, to feel part of some 'group' by narrowing things down, the way Jung explained it, we're all in some part of the spectrum, nobody is entirely introvert or extrovert, just a few shades here and there that are more predominant.

i am equally an introvert and extrovert - a sick combo of the two basic neutral or good - rarely very disturbed i get along with just about everyone - ideally really everyone but i keep going inwards and examining and unfolding my thoughts - then that disappears - then it's clear which one is the extroverted - pushing the constraining (boundary) to be clear
