Participant’s Personality Category -

Introvert.

Extrovert.
Your personality profile: I. (I = Introvert. E = Extrovert)

Your Personality Profile:

• I = Introvert. If you answered the majority of the questions true, you're probably an introvert.
Given the choice, you'll devote your social energy to the people you care about most, preferring a
glass of wine with a close friend to a party full of strangers. You think before you speak, and relish
solitude. You feel energized when focusing deeply on a subject or activity that really interests you.
You have an active inner life, and are at your best when you tap into its riches.

• E/I = Ambivert. If you answered the questions evenly, true and false, you're probably an ambivert
meaning that you fall smack in the middle of the introvert-extrovert spectrum. In many ways,
ambiverts have the best of both worlds, able to tap into either pole as needed.

• E = Extrovert. If you answered the majority of the questions false, you’re probably an extrovert.
You relish social life and are energized by interacting with friends and strangers alike. You are
assertive, go-getting, and able to seize the day. You're great at thinking on your feet and are
relatively comfortable with conflict. You are actively engaged in the world around you and are at
your best when you tap into its energy.

Why does it matter where you fall on the introvert-extrovert spectrum? Because introversion and extroversion are at the heart of
human nature. And when you make life choices that are congruent with your temperament, you unleash vast stores of energy.

Conversely, when you spend too much time battling your own nature, the opposite happens—you deplete yourself. Too many
people live lives that don't suit them—introverts with frenetic social schedules, extroverts with jobs that require them to sit in
front of their computers for hours at a stretch. We all have to do things that don't come naturally—some of the time. But it
shouldn't be all the time. It shouldn't even be most of the time.
