am I in or am I out?

This article in American Way magazine caught my attention — and aggravated my personality confusion again. At the bottom of the article is this chart with characteristics of extroverts (outies) and introverts (innies):

Extroverts:

• talk first, think later
• seek out other people
• are transparent, easy to read
• tend to be “babbling brooks”: people often tune them out
• draw energy from other people

Introverts:

• think first, talk later
• prefer going solo
• show fewer facial expressions
• don’t speak up too often: people tend to tune in when they do
• are energized by time spent alone

I highlighted my characteristics in BOLD above, i.e. seek out other people + transparent + draw energy from other people + think first, talk later + show fewer expressions + don’t speak up too often. So what am I? Extrovert or introvert? Being alone drives me NUTS.

More than enough to give me a personality complex.

Now I lay me down to sleep. Gotta get up for an early morning meetup.
