Introvert/Extrovert?

[_sphinx_]

I've come to terms with the fact that, although I love meeting and talking with people, I prefer to be left with my thoughts most of the time rather than socialize and therefore, I am an introvert. What about you?

Let me tell you a little about an "introvert" though...

You might think that being an introvert is bad, but it's not, because it's simply part of who you are and you should be comfortable with that. Newton was an introvert and he turned out to be one of the greatest mathematicians of our time.

Of course, an introvert doesn't necessarily retract from ALL social contact...think of him as a the kind of person who could think of better things to do than going to a party but still has friends and talks with people...are you like that?

Just look deep inside of yourself, and don't cheat yourself. I've been taking these psychology courses and I've been exploring myself in ways that have ENLIGHTENED me...there's nothing "bad" about one's personality, simply because you can't define "good" in psychology. Enough talk; start voting!

I'm a definite Extrovert. I love talking to people, big crowds, parties, clubs etc..

If you take the full personality test at school (which I think every school in at least Canada is supposed to) it will tell you even more about yourself. You have to answer like hundreds of questions and it takes a few days to complete, some people here may know what I'm talking about.

I was an ENFP.

Introvert for sure.

Middle point, I guess. Something pulling me to extrovert side though.. :)

If you guys think I'm talkative and annoying online... whoo... you should see me in person.

[myNando]

Half and half.

I don't talk to people unless they make the first move. Once I'm okay with them, I will then talk my effing head off!

Introvert, without a doubt, for a long time now.

I lean toward introversion, but that's mainly because of 'shyness' etc.

I'm mainly in the middle. Sometimes I want to be out there having fun, other times I just want to hide.

I'm definately introvert though I have the tendency to tell personal stuff to those who i've just met.

Yup that's why we're all sitting inside posting on Neowin all the time.

i used to be introverted but the further i'm getting from my experiences in grade school the more extroverted i'm becoming.

Are you trying to be ironic? Irony doesn't work very well on the internet.

That said, I think we're all more extroverted when it comes to the internet. I mean, you can post your views/thoughts/feelings under an alias without having to worry about who reads them. In additon, the internet allows people to think about their reply before hitting enter or clicking "submit". I guess that's why online dating works cause people have time to think and whilst in real life you don't really have time on your side.

Same here, but once I get to know a person, I can talk without stopping. Ya rly!

[WigglesTheFish]

Middle of the road, sometimes I am introverted and I can be shy or uncomfortable anywhere except with close friends or at home; other times I am extroverted and I wanna go out to bars, hang out with new people. Just depends on my mood really.
