Topic: Extravert or Introvert Posted: January 25 2014 at 22:24 |
(Almost put pervert as a joke choice, but was afraid too many would choose it!) Read a book a month or two back called Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking. One might guess from that which one I am. Seems to me that many introverts wish they were more extraverted. Not me, I'm fairly happy as I am. just shut up!
(I probably should have made a third option of "superextravert" for Guldbamsen. )

Introvert, but I'm happier in small groups of close friends then when I'm alone.

I'd be willing to bet there are less than 20 people who would truthfully call themselves extroverts on this entire website.

Both - Introvert in unknown situations, extrovert within my comfort zone.
The introverts shall in inherit the earth, if it's okay with you guys; if everyone's not too busy I can do next Wednesday or maybe August if that's inconvenient, or we can meet in the Village Hall if it is raining unless some people don't mind getting wet then I'm not that bothered sometimes it can be quite refreshing if its not too cold and I can see the advantages in that because it can get a little oppressive when everyone is waiting for everyone else to arrive before we start because then we'd have to start all over again and that wouldn't be fair for all those who turned up early, not that anyone would of course because no one wants to be the first to arrive in fact on reflection I cannot see that anyone will even turn up at all so I think I'll just stay at home and blog about it.

I like being alone more but I talk a lot in company but the smaller the company the more comfortable I am so I'm going to go with introvert although extrovert is a close second

Introvert. While I acknowledge that a certain amount of socialization is needed, I tend to try for as little as possible. I don't feel unproductive when I'm not doing any work. I hate answering the phone. I feel like seven people is a crowd. In social situations, I suffer from sensation overload and notice a lot of weird things like body language, who's walking in the room, what song is playing, that the door is squeaking loudly— all except (sometimes) what the other person is saying!

Not a single extrovert yet. Knew I was in the right place.

If you have the time to listen to three epics in a row and then also log onto the net to talk about it rather than catch up with friends, you would have to be an introvert. It would be interesting if somebody voted extrovert on this poll, as to how he/she reconciles that with an appetite for prog.

I am definitely an extrovert in company and introverted and reflective when I am alone. I guess that makes me a "metrovert" . My lengthy drive to work allows for extended listening. In addition, my wife and daughter are usually asleep far earlier than me. Since I am a night owl, I have plenty of time in the wee hours to devote to music and writing.

You don't have to be an introvert to appreciate good music.
