I am a lady in the 60 age group and I have always thought I had a personality problem but didn’t know what. I read the book Quiet and wished I could have read that book 50 years ago. I would advise any young person who thinks they are introverts to read it also. This book will make you feel a lot better about yourself and you will realize you are normal as the extroverts.

Casey ~ I think you’re on the high end of the introversion scale! No, I don’t 26 is a stutter – not at all. It’s just that some introverts tend to speak more slowly, to gather their thoughts. I’m the same way as you when I’m traveling (or even just walking my dog) – I could stay in my head for hours and even days.

Most of the people in the world are extroverts. Introverts are a minority. Let’s be proud of who we are!

I’m so confused /: I made basically a 27. 26: Does it mean like a stutter? Like maybe you draw words out a little bit? Cause I don’t. 15: I’m not sure about that. I can’t think of a situation to help me. I need advise. I’m 16, I’m not sure if I am actually introverted or not. I feel like I am but I’m not sure. I read this once. “Introverts are more concerned with the inner world of the mind. They enjoy thinking, exploring their thoughts and feelings. ” I had my doubts but this is basically the story of my life! I live in my daydreams, thoughts and feelings. I thought I was soooo weird because maybe after a movie or Anime show I would make a story in mind and live it! I’m not sure how to explain it other than I’m in that specific world and especially at night before bed, I’m up for hours! And when traveling for hours I can just stay in my thoughts and daydreams. But I noticed others are not like this and even dont understand. Am I introverted or I just have a very imaginative mind.

I scored a 14. Both. I have tested the same on every personality test that includes extrovert/introvert types as well. I am always in between. When I am being introverted, I feel especially introverted at times because I am a very private person regardless of which type I am being at that time. My extroverted side can take center stage or speak in front of thousands and thrive on it. But my introverted side sometimes has a difficult time meeting any one person and holding up a conversation, but in those times I can analyze others really well and tell a lot about who they are and what they’re thinking. I like that ability. I find sites like this when I get frustrated that my extroverted side doesn’t go out and party or do many fun things even though I like to do them. I haven’t quite figured out why that is yet. It may be the very private side of me that seems to affect both my introverted and extroverted halves. Interesting stuff.

The score didn’t surprise me at all! i scored 21 and i think Im collapsing. I tried to socialize and to avoid being introvert but i guess its making things worse ! kinda accepting who I am though i’m too young to give up

I scored a 25, kinda figured that I would have a high score. I always feel like the odd man out, even around family and people I’ve known for years. I have always felt something was wrong with me, but reading through these comments has given me some reassurance that maybe I’m normal, just a different kind of normal. Thanks Laurie!

i got 28/29
I’ve always been struggling being an introvert I always think something is wrong about me. I get very uneasy and and find it very difficult to talk to to other people and starting a conversation especially with strangers. I also find it hard to share my opinions ideas and thoughts sometimes. I stay inside my room when visitors are around even with relatives which are not close to me because i feel very uncomfortable and i always feel it very difficult to deal with such situations. and because of it people think i’m rude and selfish. after hours of conversation with someone i’m not really close to i often feel exhausted inside. I often feel people dislike me and do not understand me at all. I tried to be an extrovert many times but i failed. ._. even now I’m still having a hard time though i try to understand myself and my being an introvert its just really difficult at times especially in school when you know people think you’re weird and distant its hard to deal about it everyday.

But..I’m just really glad that there are still things that make me feel good about myself like painting doing artworks, my love for music and arts my dream of being an artist and such. these things makes my life better and makes up with all the negativity stress and all.

Anyway, just sharing ^^
Great article by the way!

28/29…sometimes it’s tough being an introvert …especially when most of the people around you are extroverts and none of them have knowledge of the these personality types…no one understands us..

I scored 28. That makes me an extreme introvert. I always knew I was so different than everybody around me. My family members, the kids I hung around at school and my co-workers. Everyone was so bubbly, energetic, making pranks or talk up a storm. Me, I just sat there watching and listening. Everybody making plans what they want to do or where to go on the weekend. I just wanted to stay home and watch TV or read or write to my other friends. I felt anti-social but all was well with me. I was happy and calm. That’s all I needed. At work I didn’t like going to meetings or work related functions. I went only because it was mandatory. Too many people and everybody talking. It’s too much. My cell phone I love. I never call people, only if I have to but I love to text. I can text all day long! I express myself with written word more than spoken word. I get to think what I want to express before I write it. I have many aquaintances, but I must say I have no real friends. I am creative in that I love to crochet beanie caps and donate them to cancer patients.
