I guess I'm somewhere in between...

What makes you think you are an introvert then??

I love to be alone, I can't express myself well. I live a second life in my mind. And I observe people before I talk to them

Take the introvert-extrovert test... FunKx had posted the link earlier..

I got this:

Extrovertedness: 15%

For: Extrovertedness

98% scored higher, and
1% scored lower.

The average Raw Score is: 11.0, your's was: 3.

Although it's quite accurate for me, I suppose it's better to try several tests, as I doubt these will be always precise, so if you collect results from more similar independent tests, you get more detailed picture. I don't think they're even using any formal scale to measure this, it's rather percentage based on a few presented questions.

^Agreed^

I wonder if their is a proper extrovert among us.. I mean, introverts are very few in number in real world and it seems as if all of them have gathered here.. Biggrin

But I observe then apply what I observe to social situations, if you know what I mean. I observe a simple interaction, I break down the physical, emotional, verbal, and mental communications into algorithms. For example, two people are talking about cats, and they both agree that cats are amazing, usually the body language of both people are opened because a basis for rapport is developing, thus extending the their comfort around each other. This can be made into an algorithm like "commonalities create basis for rapport".. Pretty obvious but, it's good as an example.

Algorithms... Biggrin

Thats going pretty deep. I mean, you study human nature deeply. Sure it helps in understanding how different people react to different situations. And its fun too.. To see how people behave while mingling with each other and then you sit back and enjoy studying them. Smile
