They get easily discredited 

They have a challenge in spending their time alone and are found to indulge into risk -taking behaviours if not well handled. 


    b.Introverts 

These are people who feel more comfortable focusing on their inner thoughts and ideas rather than what's happening externally. 

They gain their energy by spending time alone 

They prefer a smaller group of friends ,they tend to think before speaking ,they enjoy working independently and are more generally reserved.

They are reflective 

They are so self aware 

They take time  to make a decision 

They don't like group work 

They prefer to write than talking

They feel so tired after being in a crowd 

They have few friends but are very close with those friends 

There are Several Types Of Introverts 

1. Social Introverts- They like small group and quiet settings over crowds 

2. Thinking Introverts- They always have a creative imagination 

3. Anxious Introverts-   Seek out alone time mostly because they feel awkward or shy around people 

4 . Restrained/Inhibited Introverts -  They do not make quick decision ,they take longer to take an action 

Most people have a misconception that introversion and extroversion dictates a person's social preferences.  However, the real sign of an introvert is that they recharge when they are alone .Extroverts on the other hand recharge when they are with people .


c . Ambivert 

Ambivert  people are not social introverts ,instead they are those who balance introversion and Extroversion simultaneously.

It is believed that CEOs and upper  level executives who are ambivert thrive because they have a more flexible ,versatile and stable leadership style. They command people's attention during meetings but they also pause ,ask questions and demonstrate good listening skills .

For instance, at work conference, an ambivert  could be a rockstar ,socialising and making as many as business connections as possible. However, at night they recharge for the next day awaiting. 

Signs Of An Ambivert 

Balance in the middle of the extrovert and introvert spectrum 

Lean into each moment adapting and adjusting to what situation best calls for 

Demonstrate emotional stability 

Think,act ,behave and talk in a consistent way 


d. Omnivert

This is the rollercoaster thing being between an extrovert and an introvert. This means that their personality  traits is entirely situational.


Triggering stressor could force them to swing to too either way making them seem as if they have a dual trait in them.

You know the stereotypes, managers,sale persons need to be compassionate, confident and bold extroverts while IT personalities,copywriters and administrators should be analytical  ,organized quiet Introverts and so omnivert may fall under the latter .

Something disturbing about this characters;they are always pressured to fit either in extrovert or in introvert  category while they are not. The society denies them a chance .


Below are some of the things to do to be More Like a Good personality 

1.Take inventory of yourself- Look for a sign of what triggers you,what event,circumstance or situation caused to lead you into over swinging in one direction. 

2. Find a coping Mechanism -Create the best solutions for your trigger 

3. Give yourself time to rest and recharge - Whether you are feeling more introverted or extroverted, everyone needs rest and time to recharge to maintain good health .
