Are You an Introvert or an Extrovert?

Post Reply New Topic

Thanks!

Why does one preferring a movie to a book make them more extroverted? I mean sure you can actually watch movies with people, whereas it's harder to do that with reading books (though you could start a book club), but in my opinion, either one is really a form of escapism.

For number 4 I was stumped. I hate it when questions on quizzes lump things together like that, because often I agree with half of one and half of the other. I would've loved to have put "difficult but interesting". I find small talk hard to do and understand but still interesting. I just marked one and adjusted my score at the end by splitting "4" in half.

So I came out 60% extrovert, 40% introvert but I'm adjusting to 55% extrovert, 45% introvert.

But I immediately noticed some of the questions don't have a real logical connection to extroversion/introversion.

For example, curl up with a good book versus watch a movie? It depends on how you are watching the movie. Some people like to sit alone by themselves and watch movies all day. I wouldn't call that extroverted. Similarly, some people like to read stories to each other. Not exactly introverted. I put movies, which I love even if I'm alone but I'll admit are more fun if there are other people around watching it.

7 makes no sense either. Think out loud versus think before you act? They're not even mutually exclusive and I tend to do both at once. I put "think out loud" because I do this a lot just to concentrate over the noise, but I am sometimes very impulsive so I don't always think before I act.

The first question confused me to. "Talking" is better for my personal happiness but I look like I'm "listening" more because I can't think of what to say. But then I'm often not really listening and my attention drifts during the conversation.

20% Extroverted 80% Introverted

The questions that gave me the 20% extraversion were:

Talker vs Listener : Talker because I can't absorb auditory information too well.
Thinking out loud.

90% Introvert. No surprise there.

I actually am afraid of many social situations. It's one of the main reasons I almost never leave my house.

I hate being agoraphobic.

...I knew that already.

I have not taken the test, but am certain that I am 50-90% introverted.

The first question was a hard one. I am bad at listening because I zone out a lot. I am bad at talking because I...well, I'm overall very, very bad at expressing myself that way. I'm not going to list all the mistakes I constantly make in conversation. I'm not very coherent.
I decided to go for "listener", since if I'm interested in what's being said I can listen well - whereas I can't don't speak too coherently in any situation.

Another tricky one was the seventh question - You tend to: a) think out loud b) think before you act
Both, in different situations...I often think before I act, yes. But I also often just say something stupid that popped in my head and then feel embarassed - why the hell did I say that?
I picked "think out loud".

And thus my result is;

You Are 10% Extrovert, 90% Introvert

You avoid people at all costs
You aren't one for social interaction
