INFJ master race
Nah, never really been shy - anyone that knows me would know thatWell, I don't think your personality type can change without a traumatic event. What most likely happened was that, once exposed in the real world, your Te developed to a greater extent. You were also likely more comfortable post-highschool. Most NTs are.
What you're probably trying to say is that you were shy, and now you're not. Introversion by Jungian standards does not denote shy. You could have a Jungian Extrovert who's shy, or a Jungian Introvert who's not shy. Introversion and Extroversion on the Jungian scale, denote (in the simplest of terms), that an Extrovert is recharged by socialization, and an Introvert is drained by socialization. Though, you must note the caveat that even Extroverts are drained by prolonged socialization. I, as an ENTP (same goes for ENTJs, I would think), am more quickly drained by socialization than my ESFJ mother. I have a much higher tolerance to peeplze than my INTP uncle, INTJ father, ISTJ friend, INFP girlfriend, or all the other introverts I know. ENTPs are notably the most Introverted Extrovert. ENTPs, being NTs, do require extended periods of introspection to sort things in our nogginz. Same for ENTJs probably.
So you're either an INTJ who has matured and practiced an ability to socialize actively for a longer period of time (as my father has for entertaining people for work), or you're an ENTJ who was uncomfortable in highschool, and was shy or anti-social, and is no longer limited by that.
Alot of ENTx's will seem to be Introverts at times. Anywho, fun stuff.

Also, @Aetosion Thanks for necro-ing this, it's cool. Also @Aetosion, People's personalities can change easier than you may think, a few years back I was very shy and awkward, and wouldn't talk to many people, but now I am VERY social and get along with just about everyone. I've noticed massive changes in my personality.
real talk yoPsychology sucks
Awesome.Also, @HolyRane , common misconception. Judging does not imply being judgmental. Jungian "Judging" means that you judge things by characteristics into groups. Essentially, Judgers are more organized than Percievers. Also less open minded.
I used to be INTJ - but that was in high-school.
I took a carrier aptitude test last month because I had no idea what to do with my life. Some 500 - 700 questions long, 2.5hrs, it crashed while it was calculating my results.Introvert - 44
Sensing - 38
Feeling - 12
Judging - 11
I almost quit this test 3/4 of the way through cuz it was so long
