This Simple Quiz Reveals Which One You Are

Have you ever taken an introvert quiz and been left wondering? Ever heard the way people describe introverts and extroverts and wonder which way you would test? This easy, in-depth introvert/extrovert test can give you a clear answer and help you understand your personality.

Take the “Introvert or Extrovert” Test

For the best results, don’t answer how you think you’re supposed to. Choose the answer that is most true for you, most of the time. For some questions, you may have a hard time choosing (and that’s okay!). When there is no perfect answer, pick the option you are most drawn to. If you’re really stumped, you may want to ask someone close to you to weigh in.

If You’re More of an Extrovert…

If your quiz result shows that you’re more of an extrovert, you tend to…

• Be primarily interested in and concerned with the external world.
• Gain energy from socializing and being “out and about.”
• Find your energy is depleted when you spend too much time alone.
• Prefer talking with someone rather than sitting alone and thinking.
• Think as you speak.
• Express yourself well verbally.
• May seem “always on the go.”
• May come across as confident, friendly, and assertive.

Introverts and Extroverts Are Born, Not Made

No matter which way the introvert quiz says you lean, it’s likely that you were born that way (at least in part). Being an introvert or an extrovert is part of your innate temperament — the way that you gain energy and prefer to interact with the world. Introversion and extroversion are both temperaments, and both are normal and healthy. About 30-50 percent of the population are thought to be introverts.

You are shaped by both your genes and experiences. Research shows that you were likely born an introvert or extrovert, and that preference will stick with you for life. Introverts will probably always have a preference for calm and solitude, while extroverts will thrive in more stimulating environments.

However, people change. You have new experiences and learn new things. You grow and stretch as a person. In fact, research shows that people tend to change over their lifetime — and usually for the better. That’s because our personalities, not temperaments, grow and develop.

That means your temperament doesn’t have to “doom” you. If you’re an introvert who wants to, say, become a better conversationalist, you can learn and practice those skills. Likewise, extroverts can learn to slow down, listen more, and enjoy solitude.

Above all, honor your temperament — and also know that you can work on anything that holds you back.

No Pure Introverts or Extroverts

No two introverts (or extroverts) are exactly alike. What’s true for one introvert may be be quite different for another. Each introvert has a different level of tolerance for stimulation. Each extrovert will vary in their need for “people” contact, among other things.

Also, there is no such thing as a pure introvert or extrovert — no matter what the introvert/extrovert quiz says. “Such a man would be in the lunatic asylum,” the famous psychotherapist Carl Jung once noted. Introversion and extroversion are on a spectrum, meaning, they are not all-or-nothing traits. Everyone acts introverted at times and extroverted at other times. It’s all about what your preference — in general — is.

Why It’s Important to Understand Your Temperament

It’s powerful to understand your temperament, because when you live a life that complements your nature, you unleash incredible stores of energy.

On the other hand, when you spend too much time fighting your nature, the opposite happens, and you end up depleting yourself. If you’re an introvert who has been stuffing your schedule full of social events — and leaving no time for solitude — you won’t feel or function at your best. If you’re an extrovert whose career forces you to be alone for long periods of time, you’re probably not living your best life. Working with your temperament rather than fighting against it will ultimately make you happier, more productive, and more present for the people in your life.

That’s one of the reasons that taking the introvert test can be so powerful; knowing where you get your energy means you can be your best self.

WHAT AN INTROVERT ARE YOU?

modern classification of introverts' characters

The key difference between introverts and extroverts is the direction of life energy not to the outer world, but to the inner one.

Carl Gustav Jung, author of the book "Psychological Types" and an introvert
one of the first to introduce the term "introvert"

One of the founders of the theory of psychological types, who used the concept of introversion and extraversion was Carl Gustav Jung .

He described introversion as a psychological component of personality, indicating that a person's internal activity prevails over external. In simple terms, this means that a person is turned inward rather than outward.

His own thoughts, ideas, feelings and sensations excite him more than events connected with other people.

By the way, Jung himself was an introvert and an outstanding person, no doubt.
