You’re not shy or averse to spending time with people, but you strongly prefer a slower-paced lifestyle and often lack the energy to keep up with classic extroverts. You’re not especially talkative, and you prefer to carefully think out what you want to say before you speak.

Reserved Introvert

You don’t hate socializing, and often enjoy the company of other people. You are, however, extremely introspective and imaginative, and get lost in your thoughts rather easily.

Thinking Introvert

You tend to gravitate to solitary activities or small groups of people because you feel anxious and awkward in many social settings. You tend to dwell on past mistakes and talk yourself out of doing things.

Anxious Introvert

You tend to prefer solitude, or keeping your social contact limited to one-on-one interactions or small groups. You’re not shy, per se, but strongly prefer to be on your own.
