Exceptionally. I am "outlining" all the time, whether on intake, consideration or output. Nothing stays in "local processing;" it all goes to the "hard drive" to be brought back up later, studied, correlated for relevance to previous content, and refiled for better coherence. I hate haphazard transmission of information and I will do nothing with information until I have had the opportunity to organize it so it makes sense to me. Likewise I refuse to convey disorganized information, so when being questioned, if I am interrupted or bludgeoned with additional questions one after the other before I am able to answer the previous question coherently, I will simply STOP. I cannot be coherent under those conditions and I refuse to allow impatient people--most of them Extraverts!--to play me to my worst advantage like that. And people usually ask their questions in the *order* which guarantees the least articulate response. This is precisely why I prefer to communicate in writing rather than in person or over the phone, and I think this is something most Introverts have in common.
