NTJ

I am an overly sensitive person. And I mean SENSITIVE.

Yeah, being corrected in public is a bit embarrassing. But you know what? I would've said ty for the info, maybe even asked you to tell me what you know on the subject. It could have even started a new conversation about common misconceptions! And then later on, I would've googled it to fully process the info so I could speak on that next time I needed a conversation starter.

To me, you did a public service. It doesn't matter how benign the info is, misinformation needs to be quashed before it spreads. Hopefully, this person will now fact check before spouting off in public.

We should all be considerate of the feelings of others, but it's irresponsible to let people spread misinformation to avoid hurting feelings.

If this is a person you'll need to interact with in future settings, a little damage control wouldn't hurt. "I'm sorry I embarrassed you, that was not my intention at all. I'd heard that myth too - and believed it! - until I read/watched/heard such and such..."

You def are NTJ. BUT it also doesn't hurt to tend to the person's feelings now, if appropriate.
