Are you an introvert or an extrovert?

Do you feel like it influences (positively or negatively) your job?

Introvert, for sure. And yet, I've managed to find ways to use it for positive impact in the community building work that I do.

Introverted extrovert. Would that be ambivert then? :) Really depending on the situation and usually starting out introverted and then becoming more extroverted the more comfortable I feel with people or in situations. I can be the person that anxiously stays in bed all day because I prefer being by myself and I "can't do" people that day, but I can also be the life of a party. I do believe for most people it's situational.

I think I am both depending on the situation.
Definitely an introvert but amusingly most people think I'm an extrovert!

@maxwellcdavis A couple of my friends, who I always considered being extroverted because they are always the life of the parties, told me that they are 100% introverts! Maybe you're the same way! πŸ˜‰

I was an introvert long before it was cool but can turn on the charm if I need to. :)

Ambivert. Best of both the worlds.

I'm kind of in-between. I can go out and be an extrovert but I need my time as an introvert first. There's a healthy balance in my life.

Extrovert. I love networking and communicating very much.

I'm an Ambivert totally. I find it really challenging because when I'm working, the introverted part of me really helps to focus and get the job done where as being an introvert, I fail at voicing my opinions during team meetings. My extrovert part of me really comes to life when I'm at in-person events and it really helps me build my network. I don't i just get fired up when i attend events where i meet like-minded people πŸ€—

@anna_mandziuk exactly. I need to work on my skill to master my opinions in team meeting. I think it all comes down to how much the team members trusts you and gives opportunity express our thoughts. At my current job, I feel so good and love to go to work everyday πŸ€—

@amarnath_nagula "I fail at voicing my opinions during team meetings" - totally relate to that! Often when my social battery is up, I have trouble expressing my thoughts

I will say I am an ambivert. It depends on who I am with or what the situation is.

A lot of people are missing that there is the definition of an ambivert as well. Being an introvert/extrovert is more like a scale from 0-10, whereas 5 is the definition of an ambivert. I would put myself somewhere between 4-5 on that scale, even though I very much used to be closer to a 1-2 when I was younger. 😊

I am definitely an extrovert, which also helps my job as a Social Media Manager. :D

Yes, the percentage of introverts and extroverts in my personality influences all my decisions. I have more percentage of an introvert than extrovert like maybe 60% introvert and 40% extrovert. I am a hybrid kind of like and this percentage increases and decreases with the change of situations. I think I am more tend to introvert because I get involved in lot of conversations but lose energy at the end of the day.

Introvert, but I'm a learned extrovert at work. I couldn't do my job if I didn't force myself to interact more.
Daria
I would say in the middle. I cannot live without my friends and communication with them. But I ususally think better when I am alone and I can sometimes feel really tired after communicating with people a lot.

@daryakhmetova Although I feel like I'm more extroverted, I also get that feeling that you're describing, the feeling that your social battery is close to empty πŸ˜…

@donia_ahmed Awesome! Have you noticed any positive impact that your extrovertedness had in your job? πŸ˜€
Donia Ahmed
@anna_mandziuk yes sure. It makes me more outgoing and helped me increase my connections also I'm community coordinator so the most important thing is communication and being initiative
Martina Hackbartt
I really couldn't say! When with different people, I'm mostly an extrovert since I speak a lot and really like interacting. However, I need that balance of coming back home and spending whole days by myself since I really enjoy my own company and my social batteries do not last much.
