What this test measures
Introversion and extraversion describe where you get your energy, how much stimulation you enjoy and how readily you reach out to others. Psychologists measure it as Extraversion, one of the Big Five personality traits.
This test uses the 10 Extraversion items of the IPIP Big-Five Factor Markers, a public-domain research scale, plus 4 original questions on social energy and recovery.
How it works
Your answers produce two scores: Extraversion (how outgoing you are) and Social energy (whether people charge or drain you). They are combined into one result on a scale from introvert to extravert, with ambivert in the middle.
What you get
Your result, what it means, what helps you, and a free audiobook matched to it. For the full picture, the personality test measures all five traits.

Frequently asked questions
What is an ambivert?
Someone in the middle of the introversion-extraversion spectrum, who enjoys people and solitude depending on the day and the company. Many people are ambiverts.
Is introversion the same as shyness?
No. Shyness is fear of social judgment. Introversion is about energy: introverts can be confident and sociable, they simply recharge alone.
Can an introvert become an extrovert?
Extraversion is fairly stable, but behavior can change a lot. Introverts can learn to be at ease in social situations without changing their need to recharge.
How accurate is this test?
It uses the IPIP Extraversion scale, a validated research instrument, plus original items. It is a reflection tool, not a clinical assessment.
