Extremely extroverted, but with a balanced ego.
Extremely introverted with a core or successful, intelligent friends who I network off of (shared networks). But I think people are mistaking “shy” for introverted. Introverts simply are OK with being alone for long periods of time and don’t require constant human interaction. I’m not even remotely shy–I could go into any social situation and get by quite well, but introverts don’t necessarily find some of those situations edifying and don’t gain energy from other people. Introverts are drained by people, extraverts are drained by being alone. Notice that the vast majority of successful people in scientific fields are classic introverts–they can spend hours, days, weeks, months even by themselves obsessing over their work.
BALANCE IS KEY
REMOVING THE CAPS LOCK IS KEY

Totally agree with this… I am definitely an introvert. just about every personality test I’ve taken = INTJ
^^Ditto on the INTJ
Extrovert with a beer. Pervert with or without.
