Thread: Poll: Are you an introvert or an extrovert?

Does interaction with others (family excluded) energize you or in some way drain you?

I ask, because my sister, an extrovert recently said that according to some statistic she picked up some where 75% of the population are introverted as am I.

I'm an INTJ.

But I think this is at a slight tangent to the OP. As I understand it, Introvert/Extrovert as used in Myers-Briggs is not synonymous with how we use the terms in everyday language.

In lay terms, I reckon it's context-driven. With close friends I'd say I was mildly extrovert, but in polite company the opposite.

Definite extrovert. Odd because as a class of beings I really dislike people.

ESTJ here.

Introvert in big crowd, extrovert in small group.

I have had to give presentations to large groups (several hundred) and that is tough!

Edit: I did some teaching at the college level and somehow that seemed easy. Perhaps because I was incredibly prepared compared to the audience.

I guess it just depends on the situation

That figure of 75% is about correct,because on the weekends I am an extrovert but on weekdays I am an introvert!

I guess I tend to be introverted though my post count might indicate otherwise. In the 'real world' outside of the Internet it depends on the situation and my mood.

Im with jimmy on this one!
