Are you an introvert? Here's what that means.

While we all know individuals who are wildly outgoing, plenty of fun to be around and occasionally even obnoxious, chances are we relate less to these extroverts and more to introverts or people somewhere in the middle.

"Although there are several studies that measure introverts and extroverts, the Myers Briggs Typology Inventory – a popular personality measure – found in a global study that 56.8% of the population are introverts," says Joanne Broder, a practicing psychologist, fellow of the American Psychological Association and the co-founding editor of the peer-reviewed journal, "Psychology Popular Media."

Learning who introverts are – and who they are not – can be helpful in both building relationships and better understanding one another.

What's the difference between being an introvert and extrovert?


Introversion and extroversion are personality traits that lie on opposite ends of a personality spectrum - "a spectrum that essentially speaks to where you tend to focus your time and energy and how your energy gets replenished," says Darnley. In other words, an introvert most commonly recharges their batteries by being alone while and an extrovert does so by being around others. "Though some people will fit into one end of the continuum or the other, the majority of the population will fall somewhere in the middle," she explains.

These people are called ambiverts. "It’s very common for people to identify with being an ambivert – though whether they are energized by being alone or among others usually depends on the situation, the people and their comfort level with both," says Broder.
