Fun fact, I'm very weird regarding introversion / extroversion:
According to this result, I rate relatively high on extroversion - but my score for introversion should be at least at a similar level (yes, I'm aware this is just a model and not made for perfect predictions).
A good friend of mine once called me an "extroverted introvert" - which is an amazingly accurate description.
I have no problem with being at the center of all attention - as long as I control the situation (hence, working as an actor, DJ or speaking in front of an audience is easy for me), but just "being one of many" is something which drains my energy quite fast. Being around other people is often quite tiresome for me. I really enjoy being alone and nobody is talking to me. I have no problem, if I'm not encountering a single human being for weeks.
I think an advanced model of the big five should include a context factor regarding the situation (e. g. something like "ability to influence / control). This would enable the model to give credit for weird hybrids which can be quite interesting in my opinion.
Weird hybrids! 😆
Well, assuming this little test is accurate the aspects within the extroversion dimension could explain this "extroverted introvert" characteristic of yours.
Don't forget Ego, that extroversion is comprised of enthusiasm, which for those who are low-scorers brings about moderation in their positive emotions, and the lack of 'craving for the spotlight'.
The following statement could be an indication of your low rates on this aspect.
The other aspect of extroversion is assertiveness, this is the element of extroverts that brings about the "take charge" element of this trait. This is what makes them to be opinionated, and hold center stage.
If I had to guess Ego, I would say you are a moderately low scorer in enthusiasm and an extremely high scorer in assertiveness. This is why you rate moderately high in the wider dimension over all. But then again, this is assuming this reading here is more accurate than not! :D
Thank you SO much for taking the time to take part in this!
Much love to you from Portugal :*
