Quizz: Are you an introvert?

by | Jul 14, 2017 | Non classé

Take this quizz in order to know where you fall on the introvert-extrovert spectrum.

ANSWER EACH QUESTION “true” OR “false”, choosing the answer that applies to you more often than not.
  1. ______ I prefer one-on-one conversations to group activities.
  2. ______ I often prefer to express myself in writing.
  3. ______ I enjoy solitude.
  4. ______ I seem to care less than my peers about wealth, fame and status.
  5. ______ I dislike small talk, but I enjoy talking in depth about topics that matter to me.
  6. ______ People tell me that I’m a good listener.
  7. ______ I’m not a big risk-taker.
  8. ______ I enjoy work that allows me to “dive in” with few interruptions.
  9. ______ I like to celebrate birthdays on a small scale, with only one or two close friends or family members.
  10. ______ People describe me as “soft-spoken” or “mellow”.
  11. ______ I prefer not to show or discuss my work with others until it’ finished.
  12. ______ I dislike conflict.
  13. ______ I do best work on my own.
  14. ______ I tend to think before I speak.
  15. ______ I feel drained after being out and about, even if I’ve enjoyed myself.
  16. ______ I often let calls go through to voice mail.
  17. ______ If I had to choose, I’d prefer a weekend with absolutely nothing to do to one with too many things scheduled.
  18. ______ I don’t enjoy multitasking.
  19. ______ I can concentrate easily.
  20. ______ In classroom situations, I prefer lectures to seminars.
The more often you answered “true”, the more introverted you probably are. If you found yourself with a roughly equal number of “true” and “false” answers, then you may be an ambivert – yes there is really such a word.
Note: This is an informal quiz, not a scientifically  validated personality test. The questions were formulated by the author based on characteristics of introversion often accepted by contemporary researchers.
