Stuff like this implies it's clear-cut. But I don't even know whether I'm an introvert or an extravert. I strongly identify with traits at both ends of this supposed spectrum. And I don't see myself as someone who 'swings' between the two, nor do I see my traits as conflicting. I just don't identify with this spectrum at all. And I can't confidently place other people on it either. It feels willfully vague and pseudosciencey to me.
- nbrempel 11y agoI agree that it seems pretty vague but they do mention that the majority of the population are Ambiverts – a third personality type.
- callum85 11y agoWell that feels like a cop-out if the majority are "a bit of both" :) I see a bunch of personality traits that are roughly groupable into "quiet" and "loud" traits, that's all. I'm struggling to find anything concrete or useful in the theory.
