mesoverts.

Edit: To be clear, I made that up, using the prefix meso- to mean intermediate, middle, etc.


The correct term is Ambivert. :P

I'm so glad we all had this talk

But Imma..gonna bump it, for all your sakes I wanna have it up there a second time.

I'm an NT by the way, if you count people on the schizophrenic spectrum as NT's.

Maybe they would just be verted, whatever that is, or maybe that means they aren't verted at all, so would that make them averted? :D

I am an introvert trapped inside the mind of an extrovert. 8)

I happily spend hours by myself, tinkering with my own projects... but I also delight in making people sitting on the plane next to me engage in unconventional dialogue.

"Do you ever feel guilty about writing in the sudoku section of the seat-back magazines?"
"Oh, um, I don't know. Not really"
"What!? But then what if the person after me in this seat is terribly bored?! They only change these magazines out every month, and it's only the beginning of the month!"
"Well... I suppose you shouldn't write in it then."
"Ah, and therein lies my brilliant plan! Before you sat down I looked through all of the magazines in this row for a sudoku puzzel that has already been started. That way I can finish it without guilt."
"..."
