    Introvert or Extrovert?

    Just out of curiosity:

    1. Are you an introvert or an extrovert?
    2. Do you work alone or with others?

    I'm curious to see if there's a correlation.

    I'm an introvert and work alone in my FCC program.

    I am an extrovert and work with my mom, but would lower my numbers if she decided to quit....would NOT work with anyone else all day long.

    While I may be reserved at times till I get comfortable in a situation, I am outgoing and hardly ever meet a stranger.

      1. I am an extrovert stuck in an introvert's body :: I have always been very shy and I believe I have social anxiety, but have always wanted to be more extroverted and outgoing!
      2. I am license exempt (so keep small numbers) and work by myself, but was a teacher prior to daycare and have always worked with others before this.

        Only child super introvert. I don't like people. Just kids and animals.
        I work alone.

        All this will be forced to change since tonight is my 1st ECE class in college.

          I work alone. Other than my DH who comes in over the lunch period.

          Like Annalee....I've never met a stranger.

          I make friends with clerks, customer service reps and anyone who happens to be standing next to me.

            You should make your thread a poll if you want to tally the number of introverts/extroverts and whether they work alone or not.

            If you do want a poll and need help setting it up, let me know.

              I am officially an introvert because my daughter is certified in the Myers Briggs personality evaluation and gave me the test. (I'm an INFJ for anyone who is familiar with this)

              I am retired but used to work alone but, for several years, had a part time helper. We got along great though.

              I have also worked in schools and was more than fine. I loved it actually.

              I really enjoyed both for different reasons.

                Me too! Only I only like some kids some of the time! LOL

                I have an assistant but for me the most important quality for my assistant to have is being someone who I can be myself around.

                I am very friendly with clerks, customer service people, even strangers but I don't walk away with plans for lunch. I have a hard time making friends and letting someone into my life.

                    Introvert here and I work blissfully alone. I had my 21 yo dd work with me a summer ago and that was great but couldn't do it with anyone else.

                      Me too. I also limit my ages to under 2 because I'm not overly fond of kids either!

                        I'm both, it just depends on my mood. I've worked with a lot of people, or just a few. Right now it's me and the kids.

                          Is there a term for someone who is both?

                          I can be an extrovert at times and an introvert at times. It really depends on my mood. One day I could go to, say a store, and talk to anyone and be fine and other times I don't want to talk to anyone.

                          I work alone, but often wish I could work with someone.
