We all move along the continuum of introvert and extrovert
\nbehaviors and preferences all day long.

Swiss psychiatrist Carl G. Jung first came up with the terms in the early 1900s and believed some of us are energized by the external world and some of us are energized by the internal world. What if we\u2019re a blend?<\/p>\n

Have you heard the term Ambivert?<\/strong> It\u2019s defined as “a person whose personality has a balance of extravert and introvert features”<\/em>.\u00a0 Adam Grant, an organizational psychologist and professor at Wharton conducted a study and found that two-thirds of us don\u2019t strongly identify as introverts or extraverts. Rather, our style varies based on the situation.<\/p>\n

Rena Goldman, a health and wellness author provides five signs that you\u2019re an ambivert.<\/p>\n

1. You\u2019re a good listener and communicator<\/strong>
\nExtraverts prefer to talk more, and introverts like to observe and listen. But ambiverts know when to speak up and when to listen<\/em>.<\/p>\n

2. You have an ability to regulate behavior<\/strong>
\nAdjusting to fit the person or situation seems to come naturally to ambiverts.<\/em><\/p>\n

3. You feel comfortable in social settings, but also value your alone time<\/strong>
\nAmbiverts can feel like they\u2019re in their element in a crowd or when enjoying a quiet evening at home.<\/em><\/p>\n

4. Empathy comes naturally to you<\/strong>
\nAmbiverts are able to listen and show they understand where a person is coming from and they might listen and ask thoughtful questions to try and help resolve issues.<\/em><\/p>\n

5. You\u2019re able to provide balance<\/strong>
\nIn the case of group settings, ambiverts can provide a much-needed balance to the social dynamics and is likely to help break an awkward silence and increase comfort levels.<\/em><\/p>\n

We all have our preferences, neither is right or wrong, and the ability to adapt our style to the situation is a true sign of effective leadership!<\/p>\n

I’m neither extrovert nor introvert. I’m just an imperfect example of an ambivert.
