You’ve probably been asked if you’re an extrovert or an introvert. Maybe you even categorize yourself as one or the other. While many people associate extroversion with outgoingness and introversion with shyness, there is a lot more to the personality types than that.
If you are recharged by people and being around others, that might be a sign that you tend to be more extroverted. While, If isolation or time to ourselves recharges us, that’s an indicator that you probably are more introverted. While those are the general guidelines to consider when determining if you’re an introvert or an extrovert, but what if I told you there’s also a “extroverted introvert.”
Below I’ve listed the 6 ways you can determine if you meet the criteria to be an extroverted introvert!
1. You welcome canceled plans.
2. You like to socialize, but are selective in the kinds of events you’ll attend.
3. You gravitate toward deep conversations.
4. You need time to recharge after social engagements.
5. You have deep relationships — not a bunch of surface-level friends.
6. And you’ve probably been mistaken for an extrovert a few times.
