What Is an Ambivert?

Do you relate to both introverted and extroverted traits? Are you sometimes energized by being alone or by being with people? If so, it’s possible that you’re an ambivert! An ambivert is a personality type that falls between introversion and extroversion. These individuals experience both introverted and extroverted traits and can come to life in any situation, depending on their mood and feelings.

Ambiverts typically show these traits:

  • Flexibility. It can be difficult for an ambivert to answer a simple “yes” or “no” to questions about introversion and extroversion. They often feel neutral and could go either way, depending on the situation.
  • Balanced communication style. Ambiverts are both good listeners and courageous talkers. They’re able to take charge while also implementing feedback and including others.
  • Energy stability. Ambiverts have an easier time regulating their energy. Because they feel energized by quiet reflection and interaction with others, they can thrive in various settings.

That being said, ambiverts aren’t 50-50 introversion and extroversion; there’s a spectrum. Some ambiverts lean more toward introversion, while others lean more toward extroversion. The two most common types of ambiverts are:

  • Outgoing introverts are ambiverts who enjoy and thrive in social settings, but prefer alone time to recharge.
  • Reserved extroverts are ambiverts who value social situations, but also make sure to take time for themselves.
