I never really understood the introvert vs extrovert sort of definitions. They are always measured in absolutes meaning you can't be both, yet I'd wager that most people are. I'm a good example of how unfitting the definitions are. In my professional life I'm an extrovert. I refine my ideas by running them by other people or thinking out loud, I engage in office talk every time I think I can contribute (it's not always the case), I wastly prefer face-to-face communication, I couldn't function outside the open office space and I'm a member of every sort of club and social activity we have as well as being friends with pretty much everyone I've ever worked with. In my private life I'm almost he exact opposite. My ideal Friday night is alone on my couch with a good book, and maybe my fiancée. It's not that I don't like spending social time with my/our friends, but it's usually a taxing experience that I need to rest after. I score as ESTP on the Myers Briggs related tests professionally, but if I answered in regards to how I live my private life I'd be a clear ISTP. I've thought about whether one side was dominant or not, but I frankly can't say that one is.
