Psychology Test

You can be very social and still be considered an introvert. Being an introvert doesn't mean you are antisocial, it's how you mentally recharge yourself.


as in...I get more mental charge from being in a crowd as opposed to sitting in quiet solace?

Then that would make you an extrovert. :)

Speaking of intro vs. extro, A lot of times introverts have to develop a fake extroversion just so they can project themselves in certain situations. (job interviews, meeting new people ect.) It kind of sucks though because many times, introverts have great ideas and talents because they are focused on the internal but they are often times never recognized. I definately think life is harder for an introvert in this shallow kiss-ass society. I'm not saying that extro's are shallow or sycophants, but they already have an advantage in many situations. Extroverts can easily put other people at ease just with their presence, but often times, introverts will make people uneasy. (For me, banal small-talk is more uncomfortable than saying nothing at all.)
