Introvert or Extrovert Test

Are you an introvert, an extrovert or somewhere in between? This short test asks you to rate 20 everyday statements about where you get your energy, how you like to talk things through, how much stimulation you enjoy and how you recharge. You get a score from 20 to 100, a result — introvert, ambivert or extrovert — and a breakdown into four facets. The statements were written for this page; it is a quick self-check, not a clinical assessment.

How to use this tool

1. Rate each statement from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree).
2. Answer for how you usually are, across work, school and free time.
3. When all 20 are answered, read your result and score.
4. Look at the four facets — many people are introverted in one way and extraverted in another.

Formula

Score = Σ (answer for extravert statements) + Σ (6 − answer for introvert statements)

Half of the statements describe extraverted habits and half introverted ones, so agreeing with everything does not push you to one end. Each statement scores 1 to 5, giving a total from 20 to 100. The range is split into thirds: 20–46 introvert, 47–73 ambivert and 74–100 extrovert. Each facet has five statements and scores 5 to 25.

Example

If you answer 3 (neutral) to everything, each statement scores 3 and the total is 60 — exactly the middle, an ambivert at 50%. Someone who agrees strongly with every extravert statement and disagrees strongly with every introvert statement scores the maximum, 100.
