Do you consider yourself an introvert? Did you know there is maybe more than one kind of introvert....

 

 

 

There's not just one way to be an introvert, Cheek now argues — rather,there are four shades of introversion: social, thinking, anxious, and restrained. And many introverts are a mix of all four types, rather than demonstrating one type over the others.

What kind of introvert are you?

 

[Swar]

 

I can be VERY introverted in some situations, but I tend to be neutral.

[HiMyNameIsNick]

 

not introverted at all

[Fikri]

 

zzz... my result is kinda boring. i just lack a little restraint (that is if i'm analyzing this correctly).

 

Spoiler

 

why are all famous introverts... dead?

[Coops]

Hm. I expected it to be higher. I'm also INTJ. 

[Alexiel]

I would reckon that Johnny Depp, JK Rowling, Emma Watson, Warren Buffett and also Bill Gates are introverts. Most of them have said these sorts of things. We often don't think that people are introverts just because they're good with people or are in people orientated professions.

Uploading imges sucks donkey balls on a phone.

I am definitely extroverted.

[pancakeface]

little over 40% social, thinking and restrained. While little under 60% anxious

[Sweeney]

I like how everyone so far seems to be roughly equal in all four "types". Seems like bullshit.

[Karla]

Social: 42%

Thinking: 39%

Anxious: 42%

Restrained: 34%

 

Yeah, I'm not buying these results either.

This is really weird to explain, but I have some shade of autism and am definitely a natural introvert. I, along with some researchers and their papers, definitely believe introvertedness goes hand in hand with autism and that it lies on the spectrum of autism (and/or autism on the spectrum of introvert-extrovert, looking at it differently. There's a lot of debate about it). This is just an example study among many others.

 

So basically I'm calling all of you autistic

As for the test:

And that test is on to me. I would probably go to jail for some of my inner thoughts.

[KaibaSama]

Thinking: 33%

Social: 38%

Reserved: 44%

Anxious: 40%

 

This is pretty much what I expected. I am a tiny bit surprised though that anxious is higher than social is.

 

With social, I  will stand there for a really long time not talking to anyone when I'm in places with a ton of people I don't know, like a party, or one of those stupid "freshman ice breaker" things that colleges seem to think will help the freshman make friends. I'll have people walk by me and just think, "please go away. please don't talk to me". 

 

Try waking me up in the morning, and you'll have a hard time of it. I'll be half awake, and if you're by my feet, I will kick you. That's also why I hate morning classes. I'm not fully awake yet, I'm not fully "raring to go". Please don't make me do stuff for a while. (Like my 8:30 am Bio Lab). I can't wake up and do things just seconds later. 

 

I'm actually a tiny bit surprised that anxious is that high, but I guess that comes from years of bullying. I don't really know how to act with people sometimes, because I'm not sure if something I do will cause a reaction or thought that's something like:
"this person's an idiot. They're so dumb. They don't know how to do anything. Like, why don't they know not to do/say that?". I pretty much can not call people on the phone. I prefer to text. I actually get really anxious about calling people, I have no real idea why.
