Are You an Ambivert?

My Reading Room

There's a new way to describe your personality now, and it could explain a lot.

We all know what it means to be an introvert or extrovert by now – introverts recharge by spending time alone, while extroverts need to be around people to feel energised. But if you’re kind of in-between, you might be an ambivert. 

If you’re one of those people who sometimes likes quiet and sometimes a crowd, you probably sit near the middle of the introvert-extrovert spectrum. 

It might be confusing at first, but this means you need to be careful to listen to yourself to figure out if you need the energy of others or some alone time.
