It says: "you scored 10 out of 20" your neither introvert nor extrovert but an ambivert...
Hmm i like that outcome, so i feel good with other people and like talking to em, but still like talking about serious things the same amount as not-as-serious conversations. I can work well in groups but perform best alone. xD -
09-20-2012, 03:34 PMDistelloI kinda figured it would be around the 9-11 area but I never thought a straight up 10 xD I don't know how common that is but I can imagine not much.Quote:

You are neither extrovert nor introvert but an ambivert (yes, there really is such a word). But people who answer every question as an introvert or extrovert are not predictable across all circumstances. We can’t say that every introvert is a bookworm or every extrovert wears lampshades at parties any more than we can say that every woman is a natural consensus-builder and every man loves contact sports. As Jung felicitously put it, “There is no such thing as a pure extrovert or a pure introvert. Such a man would be in the lunatic asylum. -

I'm a bit like Anno. I'm a real laid back type of guy, I enjoy hanging out with friends more than being alone. However, I hate working in groups, I get more work done without a group. Overall...In the middle. But heres the official results.
The results:
"You have a tendency towards being introvert. The higher your score, the more introvert you probably are. The nearer to 10 your score is, the nearer to being an ambivert you are (yes, there really is such a word). But even if you answered every single question as an introvert or extrovert, that doesn’t mean that your behaviour is predictable across all circumstances. We can’t say that every introvert is a bookworm or every extrovert wears lampshades at parties any more than we can say that every woman is a natural consensus-builder and every man loves contact sports. As Jung felicitously put it, “There is no such thing as a pure extrovert or a pure introvert. Such a man would be in the lunatic asylum." -

See I'm a bit of both, although I'm a straight up Intro, naturally (we're talking like 18 on that test here), I still have a tendency to do Extrovert things dependant on the environment I'm around. Say if it were a party I enjoyed and comfortable around the people that were there no doubt I would be that one wearing the lampshade.
However at the same time if I'm with people that arn't really doing anything for me (as in, really not finding their company that interesting) then it does my whacky head in and I'd much rather just find somewhere I don't have to converse with them.
I certainly get drained very quickly even after a short trip outside dependant on what I'm doing, and I'm also more of the guy that would rather discuss things in depth as opposed to simple small talk.
According to a few articles this is suprisingly a natural thing for someone who is Introversial (I do hope that's a word) to do, or as they put it "An Introvert will prefer less, but more deeper relationships with peers and that in turn will allow them to feel more themselves as though they do in their own time". I mean that's me all over really. xD.
This is all a completely natural thing and I'm honestly surprised to learn that the causes go more in-depth to the human brain rather than just what you prefer. However, it does provide some problem dependant on which side you fall. For example - Jobs, being an Introvert in the wrong environment can fuck you right up, I should know I've just been at college for the last two years and that place was a proper shit hole, also filled with people who talk meaningless crap non-stop but hey. I know at the moment I'm vastly considering jobs that won't emotionally wear me out but they're certainly tricky to find.
