i'm kind of both...but i suppose the way this plays out is that i'm kind of shy, uncomfortable in situations where i dont know anyone.
i have difficulty with small talk because in a context that makes me nervous, i dont remember how to make it. plus small talk involving men seems to require some engagement with sports, which frankly constitutes a level of proactive effort that i dont expend.
i dont mind playing various sports, though: i am particularly good at playing the position of the alienated bitter incompetent.
which gives me considerable range.
i'm not sure of the overall distribution of these tendencies of intro and extro.
i wonder how much they turn up in pure form in the shape of someone who is wholly one or the other.
i suspect lots of us are kind of both, and that the relative prominence of one or the other is a function of the situation.
