Most individuals are aware of their introversion or extroversion. Although you don't immediately inform people, they can still tell.

​

We can tell who spends the most time at the water cooler at work is an extrovert, and who is an introvert if they only consume their lunch at their desk.

​

Extraversion and introversion are on a spectrum, just like many other traits, and I've always thought of them as different methods to generate energy. Would you rather be alone or with others? Although there are those who are exclusively extroverted or exclusively reserved, most people are a combination of the two.

​

Although I dislike the term "ambivert" being bandied about, it is irrelevant if you take the time to understand who you are.

​

Working with both extroverts and introverts, I've discovered something interesting about communication. They seem to lean more towards the opposing spectrum the more you get to know them.

 

I'll clarify.

​

An individual who is extraverted will want to socialize, attend happy hours, discuss sports, etc. However, if you become friends with them, they will confide in you and admit that they need your assistance in determining what matters most in life.

An introvert prefers one-on-one conversations, and the correct question can pique their interest and keep them talking for hours. An introvert typically wishes to be invited to events, but finds it difficult to accept.

​

For the purposes of this conversation, extraversion and introversion in the workplace are being discussed, and this is based on an initial impression of who is social and who is not. The MBTI exam is one straightforward personality assessment that may or may not be very accurate.
