Are You an Introvert or Extrovert? [View all]

I'm an introvert. Some people think introverts are people who are shy or don't like to socialize but that's not the case. There are different types of introverts and it's not uncommon for introverts to have characteristics of each type. For me, being an introvert means I'm comfortable with myself and by myself. I socialize with others but I don't need to be constantly around or in touch with others. I can work well by myself or with others. I've been in leadership positions as well as in positions where I was a follower. I feel as an introvert, I am adaptable to different people and situations.

SO which are you, an introvert or extrovert?
