Are You More Of An Introvert Or An Extrovert?

A lot of people are either introverts or extroverts, but it's also possible to be something in the middle called an ambivert. All you have to do to find out which one you are is answer some questions!

You arrive at a house party but no one you know is there yet, what do you do?

Grab a drink and go join a conversation - new friends aren't going to make themselves

Try to make yourself invisible by standing in the corner and staring at your phone

Loiter near the snacks station and hope someone starts a conversation with you

Go and hide in the toilet and texting your friend telling them to get her immediately

See If you can find the host and introduce yourself. It's only polite.

Leave the house party and try again later

You are at the Karaoke bar, and everyone is insisting it's your turn to sing. What do you do?

Flat out refuse - you are not going to get peer pressured into leaving your comfort zone.

Get them to put on your favorite song - its your time to shine

Agree to to it only if your friends do it with you

Make an excuse by saying you're going to get a drink and maybe you'll do it later

Karaoke bars are the worst - you'll never be found there to begin with

/10

How do you feel when making small talk?

A bit awkward but I cope fine, it's part of life!

Always extremely conscious about what the other person think of me

Great! It's always fun to meet new people

It always feels pointless but it's not the worst thing in the world.

It's ok. I prefer to listen than talk about myself

/10

Your phone rings but you don't recognise the number, what do you do?

Pick it up immediately - it may be something important

Let it ring out. You're not speaking to a stranger.

Pick up but only if you aren't doing anything

Hide your phone and pretend you never heard it ring

/10

What if it's your friend calling?

Still don't pick up. Text back and say you can't speak up and ask what's up

Pick up straight away of course!

Pick up reluctantly because talking on the phone is just not your thing

/10

Your colleagues are having a light-hearted conversation after work. You are...

Leading the conversation and probably making people laugh in the process

Chipping in with jokes often and taking control of the conversation if you can

Talking when you feel comfortable but mostly listening from the fringes

Listening and feeling a little awkward but not feeling confident to talk much

At home on the sofa watching Netflix

/10

Do you like being alone?

I love it - I prefer it to being with people

No I hate it

I need my alone time sometimes but too much gets me down

I enjoy both being alone and being with people

/10

You've got big plans for Saturday night but then they got cancelled - how do you feel?

Meh - you weren't that bothered to go out anyway

Gutted - you were really looking forward to seeing your friends

Actually pretty relieved - these kind of things can be quite stressful even if they do sometimes turn out fun

Happy because you were planning on bailing anyway

/10

How do you like to spend your week nights?

At home relaxing, watching TV, on the internet or with a good book

I like to go out and see people once or twice a week when I can

I like to make as many plans as possible because being alone is boring

I go along with most plans because of my crippling FOMO

It totally depends on how I feel, some weeks I'll be really busy, others I just want to chill

/10

How easy do you find it to say no to a social engagement?

Very - I do it all the time

I can't say no to anything because I fear missing out

I feel pressure to say yes but normally do what I want

Why would I even say no to such stuff?

Mild Introvert

You're an introvert, but not to the point that you like to always be alone and constantly let down your friends. You know the value of a good book or really great film and your time by yourself is very important, but that doesn't mean you won't occasionally go along for drinks after work or on the odd night out when you fancy it. Still, you're more of a listener than a speaker, and you're much happier being on the outside of a conversation looking in than being the centre of attention.

Strong Extrovert

You are 100% an extrovert. You enjoy being the centre of attention and leading conversations, and you get bummed out when you spend too much time alone. You're at your happiest when you're surrounded by mates in a good space where you can chat and maybe sing and dance a bit. You're also confident leading projects at work and aren't afraid to make sure your voice is heard – especially when you know you have a good point to make. You spend life being the life and soul of the party, and people love you for it.

Mild Extrovert

You're definitely an extrovert, though not to the point that you feel you have to be the centre of attention in every conversation. That said, you're much happier when you're surrounded by friends than you are sitting at home on your own, and you find meeting new people more exciting than you do scary. You enjoy making people laugh and get frustrated when you have little to do – you're a people person for sure.

Strong Introvert

You're definitely an introvert. You feel much more comfortable when you're alone than when you're in a big group, and can find meeting new people quite intimidating, but that doesn't mean you don't like having fun. The friends you do have are really important to you, and you like spending time with them, but you prefer to do it on your own terms – when there's a plan you really aren't into, you have no problem with saying no. For you in general, nothing beats curling up on the sofa in front of the TV or with a really great book.
