The definition that I've found most useful is that introverts get recharged when they are by themselves, whereas extroverts get recharged when they are around people.
This separates a person's interpersonal skills from their intro- or extro-vertedness.
This definition is useful for me because I'm pretty outgoing in "party" situations, but eventually need to spend alone time, recharging, I guess. On the other hand, I have friends who hate to be alone.
- m0th87 17y agoThat's what I've always heard as well. I think this might be a useful reference as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraversion_and_introversion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraversion_and_introversion In terms of a test, the MBTI (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers-Briggs_Type_Indicator http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers-Briggs_Type_Indicator) is pretty good IMO.
