RE: Married to an introvert - mission possible?

in #psychology6 years ago

Yes, you can absolutely be somewhere in the middle between these two. However, you should still tend a little bit toward one of them. I am not a complete extravert myself, but I am more an extravert than a introvert. Although, I absolutely hate small talk :) You can try this test - it is not a scientific tool but it's fun to make and could give you an insight.
Thank you very much for pointing to my shameless misspelling of "steemstem"! I would have never noticed it if it wasn't you!

Sort:  

I've quickly taken the Eysenck’s Personality Inventory test. Here's the result. Does it mean I'm tilted towards extroversion? 😂
Or maybe I should take the test again though. Taking a test inside a noisy bus doesn't sound too cool though, lol.
I'll bookmark this test and send it to my friends to have fun. Though I know some of them would doctor the outcome :D

It's an honour

Yes, according to this test (which, again, is not a scientific instrument and it's not even the full version of Eysenck personality test (the real test has over a 100 items)) you tend to be an extravert. This means that your level of tolerance to external stimuli is high and you don't get exhausted by social interaction or whatsoever very easily. You could chat with a lot of people at a party, you would enjoy it and you would feel very excited about that. If you were an introvert you could still chat with a lot of strangers at a party, you will enjoy it at first but at the end you will feel rather exhausted than excited. I am curious, do you find this relevant to you?
You are lucky to have such a low level of neuroticism :) I am pretty sure that mine is higher ;)
Don't forget that this "extraversion-introversion" thing is just a tiny piece of the big picture of personality. There are many other personality traits, which combine with these two and make us unique. Yes, we could be born with a predisposition to behave and react in a certain way, but we have the one ability which makes us quite different than all the other animals on Earth - we learn all the time. So, as @joeyarnoldvn says, we could learn how to behave more like extraverts/introverts (and enjoy it!) and still be an introvert (or an extravert) inside :)
If you like taking tests, this one is far more sophisticated. It still has introversion-extraversion scale inside, but it's combined with a few more scales and personality traits :) We could compare the results. Still not a scientific tool! :D

This is absolutely helpful. I'm really appreciative of this.
I'd come around more often :D

Thank you, very much!!!

In that test, you got a 22/24 making you mostly an extrovert. You are probably a social butterfly like me at least more so than anything else.

Lol. Yeah! I'm in for fun :p
