RE: Married to an introvert - mission possible?
I'm not really sure about my personality trait though. Maybe I'm a combo of introvert and extrovert, lol. Is that even possible?
I feel the same, that scale between "introvert" and "extrovert" can't be a one-dimensional line. I thought I was an introvert, but I love travelling and seeing new places, and I often enjoy meeting new people more than what I enjoy staying with old friends.
Hi, @tobixen. Thanks for bringing this up. Actually, people find themselves at the extremes very rarely. So, for instance, you could be a 60% extravert and a 40% introvert and that is quite common. As I mentioned in the previous comments, there are other personality traits which combine with this scale. One of them is sociability. They seem to be very close, but extraversion-introversion scale addresses how your nervous system reacts to environmental stimuli. If you are an introvert, you could still enjoy meeting people, but you would get overwhelmed more easily.
