When I first came to this site I was under the misunderstanding that I versus E had to do with “energy around peopleâ€. Glad to have been corrected of that.
This is of the best, basic descriptions I have come across on extraversion/introversion.
Anecodotal: I LOVE the people who live upstairs from me. The husband is SO friendly. We hit it off from the first second. The wife comes across as bit ‘colder’ but also a complete sweetheart.
Here’s the thing:
The wife loves socializing. Would have people over 24/7 if she could. He, on the other hand, is a bit of a loner. Likes time to himself. Loves to putter in the garage on his motorcycle.
My husband and I were the same way. My husband (was an I with high E) was more sarcastic. He held himself back more initially but LOVED being around people.
The person I am with now (E) is the same way. He likes some time to himself but is happiest conversing with other’s. Dropping in or having people drop by.
I (I) am exceedingly friendly, but less sociable {consistently}.
And yet…most of my closest friends are I’s.
What about you?
Do you tend to socialize more with one group? E’s or I’s? Are you drawn to one type more, romantically?
Have you observed the social dynamics I mentioned above (initially friendly = ultimately less 'sociable' / initially colder = ultimately more 'sociable'?
