Introvert, Extrovert, Ambivert Quiz

Being an extrovert or an introvert is not as black and white as one may think. It is more of a spectrum with two opposite ends, and most people fall somewhere in between. Where are you on this spectrum?

GET RESULTS

If you scored 0–59, you are an introvert.
If you scored 120–180, you are an extrovert.
If you scored somewhere in between, 60–119, you are an ambivert.

You do not have to match every extroverted or introverted characteristic to be classified as an extrovert or an introvert.

Because introversion and extroversion exist on a continuum, some introverts are more extroverted than other introverts, and some extroverts are more private than other extroverts.

Some people have so many characteristics of both introverts and extroverts that they cannot be clearly classified as one or the other. People who have a balance of extroverted and introverted features are called ambiverts.

Another important point to keep in mind is that personality may change over the course of life. Fluctuations on the personality spectrum are normal and to be expected.

In particular, some ambiverts may lean toward one end of the continuum or the other, becoming more introverted or more extroverted due to their circumstances and life experiences.

Depending on your score, you can estimate where you fall on the continuum.

Extrovert

• You are a lively and gregarious person who thrives on interaction.
• You are energized by interacting with people and the outside world.
• You like to be the center of attention.
• You are rarely intimidated by someone you do not know very well.
• You almost never turn down invitations.
• You have an extensive social network with lots of friends and acquaintances.
• You are more comfortable with risk than the other two types.
• You are more likely to consult others before making a decision.
• You are more likely to have an optimistic attitude toward life.
• You are more likely to make spontaneous decisions.

Introvert

First of all, it is important to mention what introverts are not. They are not necessarily:

• shy,
• anxious,
• or socially awkward.

However, as an introvert:

• You are very selective about the people you keep around and probably have very few close friends.
• You feel comfortable being alone.
• You tend to avoid parties and crowds.
• You are very independent.
• You tend to be reserved and introspective.
• You do not get pulled into other people’s drama.
• You are a very reflective person.
• You prefer to work alone.
• You enjoy observing the outside world.
• You have a very active mind.
• You would rather text than talk.

Ambivert

You are somewhere in the middle of the spectrum and display characteristics of both types.

Moreover, as an ambivert, you are likely to be more flexible in the sense that you can adapt to different social situations.

While you feel comfortable in different social settings, you also enjoy your time alone.

Another important characteristic of ambiverts is that they know when to talk and when to listen.

Overall, ambiverts are usually well-balanced people who can wear many different hats.
