Are you an introvert, extrovert, or somewhere in between?

Way too introvert...And I'm happy that people around me are starting to accepting me as am I.

Introvert. Have nothing against people but I have this discomfort when around too many of them. I don't mind having a conversation with anyone I just don't initiate, more of a responder.

Started out a fairly extreme introvert, but as I drifted into management am riding the fence these days.
Survival instinct that comes with dealing with non-engineering departments, I guess.

I would say I'm both, but more of a introvert, love being alone, trying new things and ventures with no absolute push from the external world. Im an extrovert when I've taken a couple beers though, i totally become a different human being

Introvert, but greatly appreciate being an introvert. I can often see/understand something that others might not observe.
However I would balance myself to get a bit social, hanging out with friends. Life should be balanced in every aspect.

I think at my age I should probably be more of an introvert these days as the connection between my thoughts and mouth tend to be a direct one, bypassing the 'ole filter. :-)

Seriously though, I think I used to be more of an introvert but with age comes confidence with a little bit of wisdom sprinkled in there. I have no problems speaking to a group of any size and have learned that being moderately outgoing one-on-one is a great way to build good client relationships.

Extrovert! I love presenting products and POCs, mentoring, pair programming, and collaborating with my team. But I also have days where I'm extremely productive coding with my headphones on, so I get my people fix during scrum, lunch, and after work.

I think I'm somewhere in between I can't be alone (which I'm since last 9 months at home as I'm not applying to jobs because of the fears) but I always like to study alone since my highschool and that also applied to college as well.

I hope programming job doesn't lead me to all alone I like some pal along with to work and have fun for a long time. Hahaha this feels more like I need to get a girlfriend ( oh shit! I don't even know what that feels like) I guess I need to get a life. :D :p :)
