Do you know the original meanings are not how we see them today? An introvert is someone who gets their energy from themselves - and extrovert is someone who gets their energy from other people! If going by colloquial language, I am an introvert - if by the psychological meaning, I am an extrovert : )
Definitely an introvert. My favorite Friday nights are spent at home. I love being out during the day, but dinners and evenings are home time for me. I love love love staying in :P
Definitely a mix! Meyers-Briggs has me right on the cusp. Most people look at me and think extrovert, but I love alone time and most nights would rather stay at home, get some take-out and watch a movie with my hubby.
I just began a new job, but before I was hired at the firm, I was required to take 6 hours worth of personality & IQ tests! A lot of firms are now relying on personality tests to help them in the decision making process to see if employees will gel with other employees and hopefully stay with the company long term. I'm happy to report that I did not have a breakdown in the course of the 6 hours :) I am an ENFJ, but I consider myself a private extrovert haha.
haha, love this. I am almost always the second one unless I really like my outfit or just got a haircut in which case I feel like staying in is a waste! That feels so silly to admit, but it's true. :) haha. So many of my favorite nights include thai takeout and a movie or two (or three) with my guy. Nothing's better.
Just like Libby. Just because I'm outgoing and I laugh a lot people assume I'm an extrovert. I was confused myself as well for years, and was pushing me to go out and have a good time. Now, I've come to terms with me being an introvert and, oh so enjoy staying at home, knitting, having a few good friends around and nothing more!
Haha! This is so funny. I am soooo the guy at the bottom. I need calm cozy nights at home to refill my introvert soul. Not ALL of the time. But definitely when possible, it's a total treat!
I am quite the extrovert, but as I've gotten older definitely have become acquainted with my introverted side. I just started a new job about 6 weeks ago and everyone keeps commenting on how quiet I am - it's very interesting how we can change back and forth.
im an extrovert but I love going on. I think I love the surroundings. Just please dont try to spark a conversation with me I will fall over lol . But im a semi introvert with friends.
This is too funny! I like to think that I'm an extrovert, but most nights by the time I finally get home, all I want to do it stay there. Maybe a daytime extrovert, and a nighttime introvert? :)
I'm a total extrovert. A bunch of my friends are really into personality tests, and I took the Jung or Meyer-Briggs test -- so interesting and so accurate! You should give it a try.
The introvert is totally me, woohoo night in! Husband going out with friends, even better! Definately need that alone time to recharge the old battery. Love your blog!
This made me chuckle - it sums up my and my husband's Friday evening perfectly. Me (the wannabee hermit after a long week), him (the woo-hoo-it's-the-weekend-guy). V x
HA! This is just wonderful..I'm all about bringing the party to my place, so I can cuddle up and be home after everybody leaves. Intrextovert for sure!
Definitely somehow both. It really depends on my mood and the attitudes of other people involved.
I was a very shy child and many social situations seemed scary or painfully uncomfortable. But I was pretty confident in my own abilities, so I was content to occupy myself with art projects or reading. Even at 30, I have no problem staying in, because I'll be creatively productive in some way.
On the other hand, every year of my life I find that I'm increasingly willing and eager to be friendly with strangers and chat people up - it just gets easier with age and experience. Now I'll go to parties and find myself being one of the last to leave!
I've discovered that I am exactly half and half. If I spend too much time alone, I go crazy. If I'm out and around people too much, I crave downtime. Hard to please I guess. :)
Introvert. INFJ to be exact. For so long I struggled to understand what introvert meant. I thought it meant you didn't like people. And I like people. I just really need my recharge time, and proud of it now : )
I am introverted. I rarely do anything that is out there. My friends think I am a party pooper if I won't ride roller coasters. I don't mind watching them, I am not just being polite when I say it. I just don't like being extroverted. Shyness suits me to a point.
Shy with the men. Loud when I know the people. Too much on my mind usually. I tested a very low extrovert, and never really test dead center on any. I'm by test and extrovert. But I'm in tonight, and would be devastated if I weren't.
(By the way, I love this pic so much I may borrow this.)
oh my gosh! i totally thought that said "pregnancy test" at first, and then i just sat here thinking, "i don't get it..." hahaha! man, it's late. this usually introverted sometimes extroverted girl needs to get some sleep. :)
Interesting how the bias in the comments is with introverted folk. I have often wondered if bloggers in general are more introverted. I am totally extroverted, and once, years ago, I tried to start a blog. I gave it up after about a week, as I was always out with my friends and too busy to write things down.
this made me laugh so much; at first I only saw the top one, and I actually thought, "Why is he sad? That would make so happy." haha I know what I am... :)
That comic isn't really accurate. Introverts draw energy from within, whereas extroverts get energized from being around other people. A true extrovert would probably not be very happy about staying inside.
Pretty much an introvert--love a good book and a movie. It's my idea of heaven! However, I'm not shy about talking to people at all. I really enjoy my girlfriends and a night out I just like a certain ammount of space and time to recharge my batteries so to speak. I don't think there many people that are 100% either way.

a shy extrovert.
Ha. So identify with the introvert. Need to stay in and recharge...
1000% introvert!
AHH after looking at this I'm not even sure - although overall I'd have to say extrovert!

Hilarious! I'm a little bit of both - it depends on how crazy my week was whether or not I'm excited to stay in!
Do you know the original meanings are not how we see them today? An introvert is someone who gets their energy from themselves - and extrovert is someone who gets their energy from other people! If going by colloquial language, I am an introvert - if by the

definitely feeling the introvert! But force myself to be the extrovert when I can :)
Anonymous - that's fascinating! I'm definitely an introvert with extroverted tendencies.
PS. My new favorite extrovert: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlZ8DXRnM-0&feature=share

anonymous, that's so interesting! also, becca, love that dude, haha, what a cute video. :)
That's hilarious! I'm definitely an introvert, and when I get a night off to stay home and chill I totally want to throw up my arms in celebration!

Definitely an introvert. My favorite Friday nights are spent at home. I love being out during the day, but dinners and evenings are home time for me. I love love love staying in :P
introvert!
I would say I'm 75% introvert and 25% extrovert... I love a good night in on the couch with some takeout :)
I see both sides in my personality. I don't think I could identify with just one all of the time. I'd say I go back & forth, depending on the week.
introvert 100%!
Definitely a mix! Meyers-Briggs has me right on the cusp. Most people look at me and think extrovert, but I love alone time and most nights would rather stay at home, get some take-out and watch a movie with my hubby.
This is very funny. For one of my graduate classes we actually had to take a questionairre that determined which one we are... I'm an extrovert :)
I just began a new job, but before I was hired at the firm, I was required to take 6 hours worth of personality & IQ tests! A lot of firms are now relying on personality tests to help them in the decision making process to see if employees will gel with other employees and hopefully stay with the company long term. I'm happy to report that I did not have a breakdown in the course of the 6 hours :) I am an ENFJ, but I consider myself a private extrovert haha.
I'm an introvert with extrovert aspirations.
Introvert!! Some people are always surprised when I say I'm an introvert because I can be outgoing... but if I had to choose, I love a cozy night in!
Introvert, but I am not shy...just like my space, when I can manage it.
haha, love this. I am almost always the second one unless I really like my outfit or just got a haircut in which case I feel like staying in is a waste! That feels so silly to admit, but it's true. :) haha. So many of my favorite nights include thai takeout and a movie or two (or three) with my guy. Nothing's better.
Mademoiselle Michael, that's crazy!! :)
10 years ago, extrovert all the way. Nowadays, I'm super pumped for a cozy night in.
I would say that I'm an introvert but my boyfriend would disagree. lol
Just like Libby. Just because I'm outgoing and I laugh a lot people assume I'm an extrovert. I was confused myself as well for years, and was pushing me to go out and have a good time. Now, I've come to terms with me being an introvert and, oh so enjoy staying at home, knitting, having a few good friends around and nothing more!
Introvert, all the way
I used to be an extrovert, but anymore...in my over scheduled full time employee/grad student world..a night in, is cause for celebration.
Oh, I love this!!! I am definitely an introvert. Without question!
LOVE this. Definitely an introvert. isn't everyone who has babies/toddlers?
http://lauramauk.blogspot.com/
introvert, I just love being at home. Relaxing with a good glass of wine and a good talk is perfection to me.
Ha I love this! I am an introvert that has extrovert moments - but love when I get to cheer about staying in and getting me time!
Much love,
B
Introvert for sure. But after a few cocktails, maybe more of an extrovert :)
definitely an introvert!!! which i have found to be hard in college, where everyone "thinks" they are/or have to be an extrovert! : )
so funny! reminds me of this article:
http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2003/03/caring-for-your-introvert/2696/
I totally identify with this.
Introvert! I love being around people to a point, and then need some recharging by being by myself.
Haha! This is so funny. I am soooo the guy at the bottom. I need calm cozy nights at home to refill my introvert soul. Not ALL of the time. But definitely when possible, it's a total treat!
Such the introvert! I used to be embarrassed by the term, but I learned that it can be a strength. Here's to a great night at home :)
I am quite the extrovert, but as I've gotten older definitely have become acquainted with my introverted side. I just started a new job about 6 weeks ago and everyone keeps commenting on how quiet I am - it's very interesting how we can change back and forth.
if i'm out with others i'm an extrovert, but a night in is always welcome!
i use to be an extreme introvert but i think i'm changing...or just getting more comfortable with me ;)
I'm an introvert, hooray!!
the introvert! my plans today include going out and i said this with a frown and sigh.
this made me laugh!
im an extrovert but I love going on. I think I love the surroundings. Just please dont try to spark a conversation with me I will fall over lol . But im a semi introvert with friends.
Both! I have my moments depending on who I'm spending time with. :)
xo,

definitely number 2! nights in are my favorite.
Honestly, it depends on the day! Sometimes I just need my space, others I want to be with friends and get out!
This is too funny! I like to think that I'm an extrovert, but most nights by the time I finally get home, all I want to do it stay there. Maybe a daytime extrovert, and a nighttime introvert? :)
I am definitely an extrovert!
Introvert, for sure! Especially as the weather turns colder! Nothing better than being in the comfort of your own home.
:)
I am absolutely right down the middle. It totally depends on the day!
I'm a total extrovert. A bunch of my friends are really into personality tests, and I took the Jung or Meyer-Briggs test -- so interesting and so accurate! You should give it a try.
Shy extrovert; gregarious introvert. Seriously mixed.
Love the illustration.
ooh, stephanie, i'm so interested in the Meyer-Briggs test, soooo fascinating. would be fun do do on a rainy day:)
The introvert is totally me, woohoo night in! Husband going out with friends, even better! Definately need that alone time to recharge the old battery. Love your blog!
Introveeeert! But there are times when I just HAVE to go out, or I'll explode !!!
It depends on my mood, I guess.
Joanna, what about you? :)
Haha, this is too cute. I'm most definitely an introvert. I get so excited over staying in, watching movies, and crocheting all night. :]
Depends on the day, my mood, etc...but I generally favor the introvert.
depends on the night:)
Overall, I'm definately an introvert - I love staying in my pjs, cuddling up under a blanket, and watching movies or catching up with my sister.
Hilarious! One hundred percent introvert on my end.
I'm an introvert!! :-)
Definitely an introvert. But I like to get out if it's to a nice dinner at a new place with an old friend. :)
My sister and I call ourselves "social-anit-social." I would say I'm a friendly introvert.
An ambivert!
haha. I think I'm a little bit of both :)
EXTROVERT all the WAY!!! People stay in on Friday night?
Extrovert, strangely enough. Most people would guess the other for me.
This made me chuckle - it sums up my and my husband's Friday evening perfectly. Me (the wannabee hermit after a long week), him (the woo-hoo-it's-the-weekend-guy). V x
haha I guess I'm an introvert! I like to be home...but I'm pretty extroverted around people I know well.
Oh I've had so much fun reading people's responses to this one!
My roommate just had me take the test a few weeks ago, and we're BOTH ENFJs-- haha! I guess that's why we're good roommates.
I like to think I can enjoy both, but right now a little cozy time on the couch is sounding especially appealing...
HA! This is just wonderful..I'm all about bringing the party to my place, so I can cuddle up and be home after everybody leaves. Intrextovert for sure!

I've discovered that I am exactly half and half. If I spend too much time alone, I go crazy. If I'm out and around people too much, I crave downtime. Hard to please I guess. :)

I'm a proud introvert :)
this introvert just laughed!
Introvert. :)

introvert ... all the way ...
A little bit of both---but mostly an introvert!
Definitely the introvert. And it's so totally okay to stay in and have absolutely nothing to do. We should never feel pressured to go out.

A firm introvert unless you offer me an afternoon in a little cozy café with good chai tea. Then I could follow you everywhere.
love your cute blog! great work, lady.

introvert. haha i need that friend that will drag me out and make me have fun
Ah, this is hilarious! I'm definitely an introvert, though I do have my extrovert moments. I'm not *always* happy to stay in at night :)
Haha, introvert! I love a cozy night at home.
A people loving introvert married to a people loving over the top extrovert.
Fondly,
Glenda
It depend what he got tonight ;)
Haha.. definite intro!

i just found this blog and i love it! I'd rather stay at home and watch a movie with friends! so maybe a little of both?
So true! It constantly amazes me how much some people hate staying home. That's my favorite thing to do!! Lol.
