@indigo I once had to do a presentation in front of the whole branch - it was all about the day to day basics of my role (I'm a compliance, banking and trust officer).

@kdfrawg absolutely :) It turns out that most of the team (me included) came out as ISTJs so the reactions to things would be mostly the same I would think.
@kdfrawg It really does. Especially in the last few months with my big boss retiring and being on the receiving end of most of the sass. I'm awful when it comes to dealing with that. I think half the time he's in denial and doesn't want to let go. I can understand that after 19 years of service.

@hazardwarning I came out as ISTJ … completely what I expected to be honest. The need to plan everything out, the structure, the logical thinking, the needing to recharge after social outings etc. If only I can get the extraverts in my family to understand what it's like …
