Introvert is the one who's always into himself..pretty happy with his own company, wants to be alone and is quite mostly...they ofter are gr8 thinkers! extrovert are confident, outspoken, speak wat they like, are always the center of attraction and are liked by many ppl.. so where do u stand?? I am a mixture of both...many times i want my space and think about my stand in front of every1 and many times i am the one taking the lead and guiding others, being the center of attraction! so i think m a AMBIVERT(a mix race of both!!!) wat about ya????

i'm 95% introvert I like people, mostly only one on one though I like to be alone at least half the time I like people too though, I think people worry about me, I'm very alone weekdays, almost entirely alone 8AM to 7PM or so then my wife gets home, I make dinner then I'm alone again I night I hold her, so half alone

Strictly introvert. I am greatful to be an introvert. This personality allows me to be an observer in most time. I search deep meaning of all things; I think deep before say or do anything. One thing I found that around 16% of introverts considered as 'gifted'. That made me feel special about the introverts.

I would have to say that I am introvert the most. I am not always into myself though. i prefer to please others when I can. I am quiet most of the time though. I never want to be totally alone unsless I am working, but the only person I mainly want to be around, is my husband. I am a great thinker though. I do have some extrovert qualities also. I can be outspoken when I have to. I will speak what I like at times. I am not confident though. I am never center of attraction even though I would like to be sometimes. I need my space alot of times also, but alot of times I have to be the leader in my family. I would have to say that I am an ambivert also.

For the most part I am an introvert, but that doesn't mean I don't socialize or express my opinion when I deem it appropriate to do so. I've always been a rather quiet person, content sitting with my own thoughts. Perhaps that's because I am a writer and writers tend to have a dominant introverted side to them. Or, perhaps it's the other way around and I am a writer BECAUSE I'm an introvert. Who knows? But, I'm pretty comfortable with who I am although I'm a work in progress with plenty of room for improvement.

well karvin, i think i shall rate myself as about 60-70% introvert and 40-30% as extrovert, definitely a mixture of both but not in equal proportions, just like you sometimes i love to be with myself and ofcourse i too love to guide others

I'd say i'm somewhere midway, i don't like so much attention and i still like to hang out with my cronies.

In the psychologically tested view of the world, I am definitely an introvert. I am pretty content in my own company, and generally prefer time alone as the way to regain my energy when I feel stress. However, that's not to say that I don't like people, or that I don't like company. Although I usually don't care much for large noisy gatherings, I very much enjoy spending time with friends, either one at a time, or just a few close associates. And I become fairly outgoing in the company of a group of people I know quite well, although I have never really felt the inclination to make myself the center of attention... I leave that to other people. I like the term "ambivert," and have used that to describe myself, on occasion.

for me it now depends on day, mood and situation. earlier i was more like an inrovert type of personality. I loved to live in isolation with no one around to bother me and disturb me n my thoughts, studies or work. i enjoyed my own company more than i enjoyed company of others. but when i started my university and made some friends because of studies and common interests, it was only then i started to change little a little. now i am more of an extrovert type of personality than introvert. Still i sometimes prefers and enjoy being alone specially when i am planning something and need some time to think over a serious matter. sometimes it reverses and i do look for someone to sit with and share. After marriage, it became more and more difficult for me to get back to isolation and be alone and after i had a child, it's now almost impossible for me to be alone. i enjoy the company of my family as well as my child. talking to them, sorting out day to day problems, going out, enjoying the kid etc. i don't think that i'll be going back to my childhood state anymore.

I am very much an introvert. I can't stand being around other people for very long, or I become irritated. I don't like having large groups of friends, I prefer my own company, I hate boisterous people...

I'm definitely an introvert. I can keep myself occupied for hours. I guess I prefer to be alone most of the time, but I enjoy spending time with my family and my SO.

I like Ambivert sometimes I just like being alone with my own thoughts and sometimes I like being out and about and just talking up a storm with anyone who'll give me the chance. However, I don't lead but I won't follow either.

I'm both but more of introvert! I like people but I'm quite picky in choosing FRIENDS. I only hang out with the ones I really like so if I don't like anybody...I would just hang out by myself. I'm not being mean or whatever but I'm just not a pretender. I'm an extrovert at times when I'm in the good mood to speak up...I can be life of the party too, lol.

I am an extrovert. I like attention and I'll do whatever it takes to get it. I'm the one with the lampshade on my head at a party. I'm usually the one who is leading everyone else around. Without me they would be lost.

I'm an ambivert like you. :) I can't say I'm a pure introvert, though I've got an intention to self-analyse, but I can't consider myself as a pure extrovert, though I like going out, meeting new people and making new friends.

Well,i don't know what kind of person i am.Maybe i am also a mixture of introvert and extrovert.Usually i don't like to speak a lot and express my feelings.But sometimes like with true friends or my soul friend online,i speak a lot.I think opening one's heart to true friends can make one feel better.
