Another interesting aspect to the question of extrovert or introvert is perception. By that I mean how you view yourself vis a vis to how others perceive you. Many posters answered both ways which I found interesting.

In the corporate world companies would spend vast sums of money and time to determine managerial styles. One such programs had the manager score him/herself the manager's subordinates and the manager's superiors. More often than not all agree to a degree. The key factor for me in such exercises is the default position of an individual, meaning that most of us will adapt to the changing environment in order to survive but we eventually default back to who we are.

I also believe that who we are is shaped by our parents (genetic taught values, etc) our education institutions and our cultural( neighborhood, etc)

I opine others can decide
