Do you consider your self an extrovert?

Witch category do you best fit ?

Well, by looking at what I can gather from the chart, it seems like we are now all a part of a very big and somewhat happy family, full of introverts.

I would have to admit though, it does not seem to surprise me much that there are less extroverts than there is introvert.
I guess I would just have to go by my blaming of such anxieties that I repetitively cross upon during my everyday life, we all have our goals, mine are just being discovered.

Please, excuse my rambling, I just thought it would be nice just to give a response, you know, friendly commenter, always willing to comment in order to scare off my guilt for people who I would consider lonely.

(I like your idea for the poll.)

I was diagnosed to have ITNJ personality which is only 10% of the world population if I remember correctly.

Basically I am Introvert with some Extravert tendencies.

I'm extroverted (see my other post) but I've become more introverted after spending about 2 years in almost total solitude and isolation when I was in high school. I have no sense of social embarrassment, though, and find it hard to stop myself from being extraverted around people, but I know how to tone it down because I've tried to make myself more introverted for years.

When I was a little girl I was extroverted to a fault, as a teenager I was described as being quiet and withdrawn (at school, anyway), and as an adult it depends. For example I can sing or speak in front of a group of people without being terrified or even nervous while it seems so many NT's would rather literally die. I tend to speak my mind a lot online (not just online, but with my writing offline as well), probably a bit more than I should sometimes. But whenI'm in large groups of people, speaking to each other and not to me, and I have nothing to say that would really interest them and vice versa, and my personal space is being invaded, it's just too uncomfortable for words.

INTP who can be a comedian if needed.
But I'm very shy and introverted really. It seems like I have an add on that can make me extroverted in front of a crowd (only)

I consider myself an introvert.

But there are extroverted Aspies/Autistics out there.

Sometimes I don't shut up when I'm around family or the few friends I have. I can't go out to places like bars or parties though, where peoples attention are focused on me. Those are places where you are expected to socialize- sometimes with strangers- and it would be very awkward for me. I'd just say the wrong thing and make a fool of myself or provoke ridicule. I could go to a football stadium with 70,000 people though, and it wouldn't bother me because I don't have to talk to them.

We're gonna see the NT personality distribution flipped upside down here. Among NTs, 75% are extroverts. Though--that's only if you put people into either introvert or extrovert categories, without any room for the middle. The middle of the road exists; it's called being an "ambivert". Most people aren't extreme extroverts or extreme introverts.

But I'm an extreme introvert. I have my MMPI results to show for it.

I'm exactly the same. As a child I was super-extroverted and would go up to strangers and ask them inappropriate questions and go up to peers and recite things to them (school rules, stories) , I would ask people repeatedly if they would be my friend. I was very socially unaware and wildly inappropriate and was bullied mercilessly for it. Then I became more socially aware in high school and was terrified to say anything so I just kept my mouth shut. I was described as too withdrawn in report cards and one teacher in grade 10 came up to me and told me I was "too listless for a young girl". Now I'm an outgoing, obnoxious loud-mouth with my mum and my friend but not with acquaintances or other family members. Although I will put my hand up and answer and ask way too many questions in class if I know the material well. I do need time to recharge after social interaction and get drained after interacting for a long time (sometimes even very irritable and agitated). I'd say I'm an ambivert now, probably more on the introverted side.

i consider myself a extrovert. i can talk to people, stick up for myself, express my opinions without being shy, and speak up in groups when i want without the worry of saying something stupid or anything. but i dont like people very much, i know i deal with the public in my job but thats different and i dont have much trouble showing my authority but general socialising is still hard for me because i just dont like social situations. i cant seem to make friends that well, but it because im not too bothered about friends and also i dont care of what people think of me. i can get arse ache with people easy, if they push my buttons i will not talk to them and can walk off in a huff, that has always been me and most people get put off me by that behaviour but i dont care. luckily my husband takes no notice.

my husband on the other hand trys to act like an extrovert to fit in, but really he struggles a little bit but doesnt like to admit it to any of the few friends he has, including his best friend who he knew since they were babies. my husband is adhd by the way but i think might have some aspergers traits as well.
