Celebrating your true self.

I love being thought of as a happy introvert. Being alone is always relaxing for me. I am quite social for an introvert but it always feel good when events are over and I can digest them alone. -Jim Campbell

Are you an introvert or extravert?

You are an introvert:
1. You usually like being with people (not too many at once) for no longer than an hour or two at a time.
2. In group discussions, the topic being discussed sometimes changes by the time you have collected your thoughts and are ready to speak.
3. People sometimes realize you are interesting only after they get to know you.
4. You dislike being asked broad, sweeping questions - especially by strangers.
5. You are critical of superficiality.
6. You sometimes procrastinate when you want to avoid interacting with people.
7. You like to concentrate in depth when doing a project.
8. You are often content to be alone with your thoughts, feelings, and activities.
9. Your style of speech tends to be calm and quiet.
10. You often prefer that others make reservations, announcements, phone calls, and introductions.
11. You may be more likely to engage in learning or improving your skills than to look for outside stimulation.
12. Your ability to remember people's name is average to low.
13. You can be yourself much more easily if you feel at ease with someone.
14. In social situations, you sometimes stand back and observe.

You are an extrovert:
1. You generally prefer being with others or talking on the phone to being alone.
2. You have a lot of energy.
3. Your voice is usually strong and confident and you speak with little or no hesitation.
4. Some people appear to see you as being on a power trip, artificially optimistic, or overly dramatic.
5. You tend to think out loud, so what you say isn't always fully thought out.
6. In general, you are fast more than accurate.
7. You notice the latest styles and pay much attention to the way you look.
8. You frequently seek companionship or other outside stimulation.
9. You enjoy shopping and like to buy on impulse.
10. You prefer a busy environment when working or studying.
11. You want to make an impact on your community, whether school, job, church, or neighborhood.
12. Connecting with others requires little of no effort on your part.
13. You become impatient when the people you are with engage in soul searching.
14. You dislike tasks that take a long time to complete.

I admit I am a happy introvert. Being introvert is not a bad thing because Einstein, Jane Austen, Beethoven, Michelangelo, Issac Newton, and Howard hughes and more of course are all introverts. I might be like them one day. HA HA HA!
