Okay, that'll have to do as an intro to Jungian Typology.

I find myself wondering about different forms of psychosis and personality type. For example, "schizophrenia" is often marked by a desire for withdrawal from the world whereas when an individual is undergoing a "manic" form of psychosis, it's very much out there, engaged in the outer world. Both are forms of psychosis but one is very much internalized while the other is very much externalized.

What I'm wondering is do extroverts have episodes of psychosis that more closely resemble what we would call bipolar disorder and introverts have episodes of psychosis that more closely mimic what we would call schizophrenia?

If you're not sure what your own temperment score might be, you can try some of the tests on this page.

To learn more about the types themselves, you can try here: Type Logic.

For the record, I score strongly as intuitive introvert, an IN, but I tend to score on either side of the middle when it comes to the other aspects, depending on when you catch me. Overall, I'm probably closest to INFJ. My own experience of psychosis is far closer to the "schizophrenic" (introverted) than the "bipolar" (extroverted) end of the spectrum.

If you're up to it, feel free to share your score and where your own experience of "psychosis" lies on the mental health spectrum.
