Introvert Extrovert test

There are many signs that indicate you could be introvert. For example, are you reading this blog post instead of attending your wedding reception?

Still not sure if you’re an introvert? You could seek an evaluation by a trained mental health professional. But who needs that when you can take a 30-second quiz on the Internet. (Note: If you feel you need more depth of knowledge, check out Carl Jung on Wikipedia. He’s the founder of analytical psychology and developed the concept of extraversion and introversion, an idea that came to him after his wife asked him for the 1000th time, “Why are you so quiet?”)

Question 7: Compare and contrast Lady Macbeth and that nudnik who always interrupts you while you’re sitting alone reading a book.

1. Yield the right of way to other traffic.
2. Stop the car, get out, walk into the woods and gather your thoughts.

Question 9: What does this Auguste Rodin’s statue, The Thinker say to you?

2. Finally, I have some time to think.

Question 10: Do you think it’s going to rain?

1. I don’t think so, which is good because I’m playing golf tomorrow with my buddies.

Calculating your score – If it’s not obvious to you by now if you’re an introvert, it may be time to seek professional help.
