Intro-extroverted





You Are An Intro-Extrovert!
Sometimes you're social - sometimes you're shy
You've got a bit of an Introvert / Extrovert split going on
You enjoy all sorts of situations. Parties, small groups, and alone time.
Too much of one, and you'll long for the other. You need variety!
Chances are, you've got both serious and fun friends - and they don't get along.


Are You An Extrovert or Introvert? Take This Quiz



After taking this quiz, I realised that there is such a thing as being in-between an introvert and extrovert. I get my energy from both being with people as well as having time to myself to recharge.

Coincidentally, a few days after taking this quiz, BT asked me if I ever needed some alone time.

"You never seem to," he said.

I think my blog documents my extroverted side. But I am equally happy being in my own company for some bits of time. I don't have to be with people 24 hours a day.

But there are some folks that I can hang around with or chat with all day and night. These are the people that can rejuvenate me and bring meaning to my life. And the best part is, knowing that the feeling is mutual. There are not many of those around, and those that I discover around me, I cherish.

Career path and dreams aside, what is it that brings meaning, purpose and fulfillment in life?

I always come back to the realisation that it's through having a relationship with God and the people that He has blessed you with that brings colors to your life. Without a companion by your side, life is a long dreary journey.

So yeah, I like hanging around and sharing my ups and downs with my closest chums, my fellow companions in this journey called life. Maybe that's what makes me more of an extrovert rather than an introvert. But I also love to shop, dine and laze around the house on my own quite frequently. Those are precious times to process my thoughts and reflect upon the recent happenings and what they mean to me.

So thank God for the discovery of this intro-extroverted word. Now I know what to call myself!

Updates: On the other hand, my very chatty girl assistant got the same results as me. Hmmm... I guess maybe I should ask you guys if I am an intro or extro. After all, how I see myself may be different from how others see me.

*I'm kinda introverted except for those times when I'm extroverted. Sometimes though when I'm navel-gazing I feel the need to tell people about it and I'm not sure which column that would go in. Then there are times when I'm very extroverted just to keep people from seeing that I'm in a very introverted mood, which is a lot of the time. I have noticed that I become very extroverted when I'm alone, does that count?

:-P
