Question #1126498710Monday, 12-Sep-2005
Category: E/I Functions
I recently took a test to determine whether I am in introvert or an extrovert and the results showed that I am an exact mix of the two types. Is there a word for this or do I have to just explain to people that I am both? -- Jason Comfort

A1 Extraversion/Introversion is determined by your dominant function. If it is introverted then you are an introvert, if it is extraverted then you are an extravert. The dominant function cannot be both introverted and extraverted therefore you cannot be both. -- Dr. Zoidberg
A2 I think you just need a better understanding of what introversion and extraversion are because it is a lot more complicated than it seems. read jung's "psychological types", it can be found for free on the internet here: http://psychclassics.yorku.ca/Jung/types.htm . -- -ptl
A3 The word for someone with an approximately equal balance between introverted and extraverted behavioral tendencies is "ambivert." -- NĂ©ant
A4 at A2, is this perhaps because the other _SF_ vector adds a behavioural predisposition with these people, That confuses them in the Extra Intra Questionaires. But this begs the most important question, is mode and melancholy part of Intraverted types more often than it is in society for Extraverted types. i only think this is actaully a non-relevant and non-consequential relationship on melancholy...Extra/Intra types in socionics don't effect it. it is probably societal learning, that conteminates the natural introvertion program of the Introvert with to many unhealthy or guilt obstructions to pull them slighty into melancholy,...which is why i think it is for Introverts especially relevant to build a new program, maybe one of actions where they nothing more than 'finer-correct' in introversion...but that is probably more for the _NT_'s. -- @sirac
A5 A4: "it is probably societal learning, that contaminates the natural introvertion program of the Introvert" ... this is VERY well said. -- Anonymous
