Total introvert here. I love being surrounded with friends and actually need social interactions in my life, but I get tired really fast if I don't get some time alone from time to time. As a remote dev, I feel really thankful to be able to choose between going into the office or staying home. I also recently started DJing and I love the perfect balance of interacting with the crowd without having to talk 😁

I'm an extrovert and I guess that's why I enjoy community, marketing and partnerships roles so much. That said, as I get older I feel more like an ambivert because there are times I find people draining and crave alone time. Curious to see how other folks feel.

I'm an extrovert and a coder - I love spending a day in silence focused on code - but then after work, I'm starving for human interaction. I work remotely so I listen to podcasts to simulate conversation sometimes. I look forward to meetings, and my hobbies often involve conversation (speaking clubs etc) because that's a great source of energy and happiness for me.

I'm an ambivert for sure. It's not hard for me to engage with a group that I don't know, and I like it, but it's definitely not effortless. I attribute some of that to the fact that I went to a very small elementary school (4 other kids in my class) and essentially didn't have to meet new people for a number of years.

I've found myself to be an ambivert. I'll find myself at a conference ready to mingle, build partnerships, and all things face to face customer marketing. Especially anything related to music -- im all out and about. In other times crave for a blankie and either a drawing pad to sketch out ideas or couple of classic anime shows to recharge.

Transitioning ambivert? Always been super extroverted, but starting to appreciate solo time more and more. As a marketer, that's synced up well with transitioning from in-person, on-the-ground efforts to more digital / performance marketing where I'm designing & optimizing campaigns more than directly talking with people. It's also been interesting, as my company has transitioned to being fully remote: The fact that I'm not a pure extrovert has probably saved me from going crazy, but it definitely miss the consistent face-to-face interaction with coworkers.

Definitely introvert. I can be sociable but it takes dedicated effort and can be quite draining. I've even measured and can see the impact on my HRV (heart rate variability) score from more-social-than-usual days.

Ambivert. Professionally, I am an extrovert but in my personal life i'm an introvert.

Last time I took Myers Briggs I tested ENFP, which according to several websites means I'm the most introverted of extroverts. I guess that makes me an ambivert to a certain degree (60% extrovert, 40% introvert) since I do enjoy daydreaming and prefer small groups to massive environments, while at the same time not being afraid to start new meetups or navigate a completely new situation. It's a pretty unique situation to be in, since I can relate to both types of people!

I feel like I have had phases in my life where I've been really extroverted, and others where I've been really introverted. Guess I am an ambivert. I also think a lot of it depends on your environment, like maybe you're more of an extrovert in a certain environment, and an introvert in others. Actually, there is a term for it, it's Omnivert. You should include that too in the options :)

Definitely ambivert. Have been all my life. I've found that I love learning about people and the only way I learn is interacting. At the same time, I love my alone time to process life experience and synthesize my thoughts.
