More Introvert or Extravert?

Definately an extrovert. I'm constantly talking and laughing wherever I go, and I'm not shy about talking to people and making new friends. Even at home by myself, I'm constantly texting, etc, so yeah.
 
introvert. I never have a clue what to say, so I dont say anything in case I sound stupid/say the wrong thing

if only I did that online eh ;)
 
I used to be a huge introvert, but somewhere in college I changed and became a huge extrovert.
 
I am an introvert at school, only because my school isfilled with weed-heads and I feel lik ethe odd one out. I also don't drink or smoke. I dont' have a problem with any of these things, but I am just not into any of those activities.

And if you don't smoke weed, chances are you will be seen as being a "goddy two shoes" or "stuck up" if you are "above" ding the drugs.

Like I said, the fact that I am still a virgin, don't do weed or drink makes me feel behind, and I guess this is what makes me an introvert.

I am extroverted when it comes to my clse group of friends though. My virgin, non drinking, non weed head friends.
 
I've become extremely introversial (at school) ever since i started college in September.

Before i was the complete opposite.
 
I'm pretty much the epitome of introversion, particularly irl, which might surprise some of you who have seen how talkative and outgoing I am, but online interaction is so much easier. I guess it's 'what you see doesn't tell you all that what you don't see does'. I'm naturally inclined to keep to myself and not speak -- I get incredibly anxious around people and prefer to be on my own, even though I get lonely. I'm one of those people who shut themselves in their room all day and sits on their own at school partly out of resignation, partly out of personal preference. I'm a naturally energetic and talkative person; I just have to be opened up about it.
 
Well, I'm normally an introvert, but when I'm around people I'm comfortable with (which takes a long time for me), I become very extrovertish and start becoming really loud and annoying and I say dumb things without realizing it. Not a good combination for making new friends!
 
Introvert usually, but really alike with umbarsc says. When I'm around people I'm comforatble with I can be the exact opposite in no matter of time.
 
There's really no such thing as "becoming extrovert" when you're around your friends. That's just called being comfortable. The whole point of being extroverted is being able to be socially outgoing in instances where you don't feel comfortable.
 
Wow...massive bump. But yeah introvert for me though I do make a conscious effort to be extrovert around new people.

EDIT: INFP by the way.
 
Introvert/Extrovert is not something I fit into. Without any empathy instinct I will never be comfortable around people I don't know, but I make a better effort at socializing than average I think. I don't especially lean towards thinking or feeling, or judging or perception. The only part of the Meyers Brigg test I lean towards is Sensing over Intuition.
 
INTJ

Its from Myers Briggs Personality Test which is pretty accurate for most people. I tend to be neither introvert nor extrovert in its classic definition. I can be an extrovert when I want to be one. But I am an introvert by MBTI definition, that is, being around people drains my energy and I need "alone" time to recharge myself. And also by its definition, introverts first reflect and then act while extroverts act first and then reflect which is definitely true for me.

The test can be taken here for those who are interested. Descriptions are at 1 and 2.
 
thank you for reviving this thread! although i suppose credit goes to setrack since he was the one who PMed me with the test & i became obsessed with the results

i certainly believe i am more of an introvert; my myers-briggs personality type is ISFJ

the test can be taken in the above post, and a mock/blunt interpretation of the different types can be found here (i thought some of them were funny!)
 
introvert, i'm definitely one.
although i'm trying to relax around people. with little success. :(

EDIT - i'm an INTJ.
with "I" being 89%
and "N" being 50%
and "T" being 88%
and "J" being 33%
 
I've been mainly introvert for most of my life, only really talking when I am spoken to or if I need something, but since this year I'm gradually starting to become more extravert. Hopefully I can keep it that way.
 
I ended up with INTJ and actually a lot of it describes me perfectly.

I'm usually a bit sceptical about things like this, most people tend to go "I'm introvert, so I'll answer so-and-so", but if it's as good as you reckon then cool.

I'd definitely say that I'm an introvert, I tend to spend all my time lurking on internet forums, I rarely post. IRL I don't like speaking to people I'm not friends with and I struggle to make new relationships. It's improved lately but I still come across as shy.
 
I am introverted when sober and lucid. However, when on a high I become both massively extroverted and a compulsive liar.
 
Almost everyone is a little of both, with different variations of each around different groups of people. It's not a very useful term or classification at all, really. I'm rather extroverted in most situations, I guess...
 
ISTP but god is that a bad description of me (edit: one is horrible I guess the other is decent)

for those who indicated that the type they identify with changed through college (DM/Surgo/?), what would you guess to be the cause?

edit: darkie's post reminds me I think it was only 5% "S" - based on what I read in wikipedia both seem to describe me about equally?
 
I would guess that it's because when you're in high school everything seemed to be a huge popularity contest but once you're in college no one gave a fuck what you did. If you're more comfortable being yourself then it follows you'll be more extroverted.

While I may seem like I'm perfectly fine when I post on the forums, it actually takes me a lot of time to decide whether I want to post or not. I'm pretty introverted here too, because I feel that if I post something, it's going to get shitted on by someone promptly, so I usually like to keep my opinions to myself. That doesn't mean that the people of smogon are bad, in fact, I like a lot of the people here very much, the introversion is just a big flaw in my personality.

It's also part of the reason that I haven't experienced a lot of things in my life, that people my age have experienced several times. For example, I'm turning 18 in a couple of weeks, but I've never even been in any sort of "dating" relationship with any gal.

I was a bit freaked finding someone so much like this so early in this thread.

I am very, very introverted, to the point that people around me "worry". I'm just more happy with myself and/or with a VERY closed group of friends. I won't start a conversation until someone else starts it, and I mostly prefer asking questions rather than answering them.

I dated a guy soon after I turned 18, but it kinda didn't work out. I'm not used to have people "over" me and the calls and the texts and everything else. Going out is perfectly fine; like my mind is ok spending time with a person when you're SUPPOSED to be spending time with them. Read: the date itself.

I have a GIGANTIC problem trusting people, so for me to open up to someone... well, it's not gonna happen, most likely.

I can act up as an extrovert sometimes when I'm out, but it's mostly a half-assed act.

I keep a lot of thoughts to myself, wondering if they're stupid or not, worth saying, etc. Oh, and I also talk a lot in my head; I do this weird "emulation" of how a conversation between someone I want/need to talk with would go.

I'm a ISTJ.

edit: I also edit my forum posts a lot after posting them, although that might just be OCD. Afterhoughts etc

I guess that with my personality adds up to some extent.
