What happens if you’re a split of two personalities?
Well according to researcher Leah Jesnick, based at the Division of Psychiatry, University College London, chances are you could be an ambivert.
Having started a series of tests based on the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, Jesnick said there’s a third stop on the extrovert-introvert spectrum.
Ambiverts are a meeting of the two personality traits – where the person equally enjoys time spent with people but values their time alone.
Speaking to i100, Jesnick explains:
“Socialising and meeting new people may be important to an ambivert, but they also value time for themselves. Typically, ambiverts are good socialisers, as they keen to talk as well as listen to others.”
Other factors that might help you work out if you’re an ambivert is your ability to hold small-talk with people while appearing genuine and being adaptable workers, who can work efficiently as part of a team or alone.Explore more on these topics:
