Introvert or an Extrovert (+Ambivert) Quiz Results
Now, look at what letter you choose most often and discover whether you are an introvert, extrovert, or ambivert type.
Mostly A’s: Extrovert
Your results indicate that you are more of an extrovert. Typically, an extroverted personality has a tendency to be outwardly oriented, active, and inclined to communicate with others. Extroverts are often sociable, outgoing, and expressive by nature. They often take action quickly without overthinking.
Extroverts gain energy from being around people and thrive in social settings. They enjoy compliments, group activities, and often prefer talking to texting. Extroverted people are also usually emotionally available and open, spontaneous, and rarely bored when surrounded by others. In many situations in life, they can be leaders in a group or team of co-workers [1].
Mostly B’s: Ambivert
If you mostly chose B answers, you might be an ambivert. Ambiverts combine the behaviors that are typical of both types, introversion and extroversion. They can feel comfortable among many people during the day and enjoy alone time at home in the evenings.
Switching from one type to another occurs very quickly. If ambiverts feel out of their comfort zone, they may need a break from people, and if they are comfortable, they actively maintain the conversation with everyone. At the same time, an ambivert establishes deeper contact with people than an extrovert. According to research, there are more ambiverts than introverts and extroverts [2].
Moreover, if you’ve ever felt like an introvert in some situations and an extrovert in others, you might be an introverted extrovert or an extroverted introvert. These are not clinical terms but helpful ways to describe people whose personalities don’t fit neatly into one category. An introverted extrovert generally enjoys being around people and gains energy from social interaction, but still needs regular time alone to recharge.
An extroverted introvert, on the other hand, is primarily introverted but can be very sociable in the right circumstances. They might appear outgoing with close friends or in familiar environments, but still prefer quiet settings and deep conversations over loud parties.
Mostly C’s: Introvert
Based on the answers, you are an introvert. Introverts tend to enjoy solitude and recharge by spending time alone. In general, others might describe them as quiet or shy people, but they are still able to successfully participate in social situations. They prefer to spend time alone or with a small group of friends and family.
Introverts may not prefer lively social events like parties and often feel exhausted after spending a lot of time around people they don’t know. On weekends, introverts like to read a good book, plan things, and work more productively in a calm atmosphere rather than having conversations in a crowded room.
