My story recently published in the Huffington Post about introverts in church is still getting some traction.

Some of you might remember the classic piece in The Atlantic Monthly about introverts, where Jonathan Rauch wryly described them as “people who find other people tiring.”

Well, my piece focuses on introversion within the church. Specifically the way an introverted personality can sometimes clash with church life, most especially evangelical worship practices. In fact, Adam McHugh, a writer and pastor in Southern California, recently wrote a book on the topic, which is what inspired me to write the story in the first place.

So what do you think: If Jesus were to take a Myers-Briggs personality test, would he rank as an introvert or an extrovert?
