WHAT’S YOUR PERSONALITY ?

We are familiar with three broad categories of human personality:

1)      Introverts

2)      Extraverts/ extroverts

3)      Ambiverts

Extraverts and introverts are two extreme ends of the scale.  Placing yourself towards the ends is complicated. Most of us can be positioned at the center of the range facing either side. Ambiverts are considered to be at the middle of the scale. A majority of us can be categorized as ambiverts presenting either extroverted or introverted behavior, in diverse situations.

Let us identify with general behavior of each type of personality:

2)      Extraverted characteristics:

3)      Ambiverted behavior

·         They get pleasure from the company of people but for a short duration.

·         They enjoy lone time but not for long.

·         They contain introverted and extroverted tendency equally.

·         They act according to the person they are conversing with.

·         Their flexibility allows them to transform from introversion to extroversion depending on the situation.


 The person who shows different characteristics in different circumstances will most commonly fall in either of the following two categories:

1)      An introverted extravert: This refers to the people who usually demonstrate signs of extroversion but in certain situations they reflect few qualities of introversion.

 

Certain examples can be: an extrovert prefers chatting to particular people, does not share their private life, may take time to arrive at a conclusion, may not opt for group activities, may be unable to adjust to alteration in the plan, may not have various interests but may do extremely well in one talent.

The person who has a larger proportion of extraverted quality and lesser percentage of introverted character are categorized as introverted extroverts.

 


2)      An extroverted introvert: This refers to people who, by and large, are introverted, although exemplify conduct of extroversion in certain circumstances.

 

For example, an introvert may spend a good time with their friends, can have a good sense of humor, may talk about a variety of topics in a group without mingling with anybody, may initiate conversation at a gathering, and may have numerous interests, and occasionally be okay with group activity.

The person who has a larger proportion of introverted quality and lesser percentage of extroversion are categorized as extroverted introverts.

Having somebody around all the time, sharing your room, stuff and sometimes clothes can be annoying at times. But your sibling is the first friend you get for life. Be it elder-younger, one or many, brother or sister, but your sibling will always be your partner-in-crime and your best secret keeper (of course with a bribe). They are the ones who help you enhance the skills of convincing and manipulation. They can save you from the scolding of the parents and can fight the world for you.
