8 Easy Picture Tests That Will Tell You If You Are A Genuine Introvert or Not

13According to research, such personalities are due to our genes

According to psychologist Hans Eysenck, introverts and extroverts possess different levels of arousal defined as “the extent to which our minds and bodies are alert and responsive to stimulation”.

Extroverts have decreased rates of arousal because they seek stimulation and excitement from their own surroundings and external factors. For introverts, it is exactly the opposite.

14Does it really matter as long as you know who you are?

There are hundreds of personality tests for introverts or extroverts online and though they give us an idea of who we are, there are many who are yet to embrace their true selves. If you are an extrovert, you are told to be less obnoxious. If you are an introvert, you are perceived as anti-social and if you are an ambivert, people may feel you have a split personality. Learning about who you are through such tests provides you a better understanding of yourself.

This also provides you a chance to understand other personality types so that you can interact with others to improve your social life.

15The bottom line

It is important to embrace yourself. If you are an introvert, there is no need to pressure yourself to be more extroverted but don’t also criticize extroverts for being annoying or too outgoing. If you are an extrovert, don’t allow others to stop you sharing your opinions although your actions may be construed as insecurity. Remember introverts need their own space and there is a timing to display your empathy

As for ambiverts, you are not abnormal. The majority of society may soon turn out ambivert. You possess both personality traits which makes you more flexible and stable than others.

Regardless of what personality type you are, every human being is special and you should regard yourself as such too.
