What is introversion?

Introversion describes a tendency to focus on your inner world and prefer more reserved interaction or activities you can do on your own. In the Big Five model, it describes the lower end of extraversion.

Introverts and extroverts are not two completely separate kinds of people. Introversion and extraversion form a continuum, and a person can show characteristics of both.

A continuum, not an either-or choice

More introverted

Prefers quiet activities and smaller groups

In between

Shows both tendencies depending on the situation

More extroverted

Prefers lively interaction and group activities

Your position on this continuum does not determine your abilities or your worth.

How introversion can show up

These preferences may sound familiar. You do not need to identify with all of them, and your behavior can vary with the people and situations involved.

Time off

You may be drawn to reading or a hobby at your own pace rather than a busy schedule of group events.

Social connections

You may prefer thoughtful conversations with a few close people to continually meeting new acquaintances.

Joining a conversation

You may prefer to listen first and gather your thoughts before speaking.

Comfortable surroundings

After a lively social occasion, you may want some time alone in a quieter place.

Introversion is different from shyness

Two people may both seem quiet for different reasons. Separating a preference for certain kinds of interaction from nervousness around others can make those differences clearer.

Introversion

What interaction you prefer

You can enjoy talking to people while preferring smaller groups and quieter time.

Shyness

How you feel around others

You may want to talk but feel nervous or worry about how others will judge you.

Introversion and shyness can overlap. Being introverted does not necessarily mean disliking people or lacking conversation skills.

How to read your result

A snapshot of your current tendencies

Choose answers that reflect your usual self rather than your ideal self. Your feelings and behavior can change with your environment, experiences, and age.

One part of your personality

This test focuses on tendencies related to extraversion. It does not separately assess your social skills, career suitability, or your whole personality, including agreeableness and conscientiousness.

A description, not a label to live by

Introverted and extroverted people both have strengths. Treat the descriptions and work examples as general information and compare them with your own experience.

This test supports self-reflection and is not a medical diagnosis. If a result leaves you very anxious or distressed, you do not have to accept it as a label; consider speaking with a qualified mental health professional.
