How to be an extrovert!
Introvert with a bit of social anxiety thrown in for more fun!
I flick between the two depending on my moods and how tired I am. Some times I'm really bubbly and will talk to everyone, and sometimes I'd rather just sit on my own with a book.

Interestingly enough, also, I'm one of the few extroverted friends among a large group of introverts.
During my high school years I was definitely and introvert. I think I'm more comfortable with myself now and have morphed into an extrovert. I was pretty extroverted in grade school too so I guess it was just those awkward teenage years. In my career I deal with people on a daily basis at a fairly intimate level, and I love it. I could not see myself doing something where I didn't have to have human interaction. I love going out and meeting people it does make it harder to find time find reading though.

Always would rather sit in my room and read or draw than go outside (being tiny also contributed too!)"Ah, I'm an only child too. I never thought about how that may have contributed to other aspects of my life, such as introvertedness. Interesting. Now I'm going to have to go read up on the effects of being an only child!
I can pretty social, but I need alone time to recharge, so introvert

I was an only child until my sister pop along when I was nearly 12. So I didn't grow up with siblings and after that became a mom type figure more than a sister. So perhaps that also prompted me to become more of a chameleon than just solely one or the other. It's really all in the gray areas.
I'm an only child too and didn't have a lot of friends outside school, so I spent most of my time off-school reading. My friends loved to read too so we were always in the library comparing books. We are ALL introverts in my current (adult) group of friends, but have been trying to socialize more this year and have become a bit successful at it (I think). It gets exhausting bur I want to challenge myself more this year.
I'm INTJ, though I show up as INTP on some tests. I definitely relate more to INTJ though.
I test as an ENFP. Majority of the time I am very extroverted and I need contact with people to keep me happy but their are other times when I just want to be locked up in my room. Also I like to read in places where there are a lot of people such as riding the train or bus, in class, or even at kick backs.
Introvert... I see a trend developing here :P
I am an introvert. But I have been told by everyone that knows me that I am much more fun when drunk.

Basically it just means that you're more structured! I assume you make lists and like to be punctual, etc?
