Are you an introvert or extrovert?

introvert. My employer had all of it's management employees take a Myers-Briggs exam. I ranked extremely introvert, off-the-scale type lol.
Come one come all, take a label, enjoy it, if not who cares!0 -
I have moments of both....so I would say 50/50! I can be quiet or very outgoing....I enjoy times of being alone and with people. I am very easy going, simple person and pretty much will try anything new but I would be happy cuddling on the couch with a special someone too.0

I'm definitely an introvert. I find talking for too long extremely exhausting; just socializing in general. That's not to say I don't ever enjoy it, I just need time to myself to re-energize.0

I'm an introvert.
I like time to myself.
I like peace and quiet.
I don't like crowds.
I prefer small get togethers to parties.
I shy away from the spotlight.
I prefer talking to someone one on one than many people in a group because I get a.d.d. and easily distracted.
I like being aroun people but only in small doses.
I'm a homebody, but sometimes I get cabin fever.
I can't stand people who are clingy and are co-dependent because I'm not.
I'm a deep, internal thinker. I observe rather than talk in group settings.
If I don't get time to myself, I get cranky.
I don't mind going to movies by myself.

Extrovert. I like to talk to people, like to meet people, like to engage people in good conversation. It comes in handy with my job in Real Estate

strong introvert. I can non-awkwardly express myself around others, but I prefer keeping to myself most of the time.
^ This. I can take charge when I have to, but most of the time I wish people would just STFU.0 -

I'm really surprised to see so many introverts here.
Me too, I had read before that introverts account for only about 30% of the population...they must all be on here ;-).
Well, this is an internet forum. I imagine most of the extroverts are out... extroverting.0 -

It's not a conscience, it's personalities.0 -

I was thinking the same thing!0 -
I guess an introvert but I do like going out occasionally. I just have a low tolerance for people and for stupidity. Possibly because my expecations of people are too high in this day and age.
This ^^^ Man, so many people irritate me these days. Must be gettin' old and hermity.0 -

I'm the same way. I don't handle incompetent people very well.....0 -
Introvert.
I am the quiet one in the group, very hard shell due to past pains and most people think I basically hate them because of it. In truth I am just protecting myself and once they get to know me better we are usually great friends, I can get along with everyone if they just give me some time to warm up.0 -
I am an ISTJ and ranked 100% introvert. Being around people sucks the life out of me; I can't stand large crowds. I always think it'll be great fun to go to places like fairs, carnivals, rock concerts, etc. Then, when I get there, I get so anxious and upset I end up cussing people out and cutting my night short to go back home. I've never been part of a mom's group or anything like that because I can't approach people. I won't volunteer for my kid's school because the idea of facing all those strangers - kids or adults - scares the crap out of me. My dream job was identifying tiny water critters in a lab. Just me and my microscope! However, the pay didn't sustain a family so I took a promotion. Most days I wish I hadn't. Now I have to sit in multi-agency meetings and wrangle with people's agendas and try to push my agency's agenda. I'm socially awkward and always uncomfortable. Even though I've been working here for 5 years, I can never think of funny, clever, or interesting things to say to people. Until a couple days later. I like to have a couple really close friends to talk to. More than 2 people and I clam up. I hate talking on the phone even if it's to people I like. Oddly, it seems like most of my friends are extroverts. More than one person has told me that they were amazed when they talked to me one-on-one because they thought I was a snob. They found I was engaging, personable, cheerful, and a good listener when we talked alone. I feel bad for my son because he takes after me (but he's still 10x more outgoing than I am). I watch my daughter in amazement because she takes after her father - she is very social and loves to be in the center of a crowd of people. Rejections, brush offs, and being ignored doesn't seem to faze her a bit. I struggle with shyness every single day, but I work at it and see myself as a work in progress. In high school I couldn't even walk into a fast food restaurant and order food because I'd have to talk to someone. Now I'm out, about, talking to people in person and on the phone all day long. My job is teaching me assertiveness. I can function normally even if I'm panicking on the inside :-) But at the end of the day I really need time alone to recharge!0

Introvert. I switched to midnight shift because there is barely anyone there.0

I'm definitely an introvert but I like working with kids. For the most part, I like to do things by myself and get more tired than energized with other people.0

I'm an introvert...but I'm also shy....those are two different things...
i can be extroverted when i'm comfortable with who's around me...but that's very against my nature and I have to work at it...0 -
Introvert all the way... ISTJ to be exact!0
-
How do you label a conscience... apart from making things up...
Wtf.
Pretty much all of these "made up" labels are backed up by neuroscience, actually. Research the lemon juice test for introversion. Heritability. CAT scans. Brains don't come in one variety. Just like ears...or internet trolls.
Science and reading. They help.0 -
Introvert, but I do well enough with a group once I get comfortable. I'm shy and quiet by nature, so it takes a little time for me to open up and get rowdy- but it does happen. 0

Until you described yourself I would have said extrovert.0

Introvert, now go away and leave me alone.0
