2.Are you an introvert (内向的人) or an extrovert?If you find neither of those fit your personality,perhaps you are an"ambivert"(中间性格者).
Experts say there's a middle ground between introvert and extrovert personality types.They are called"ambiverts",according to The Wall Street Journal.
Introverts don't like crowds and enjoy keeping their thoughts to themselves.Extroverts,on the other hand,like meeting new people and being the center of attention.Ambiverts,as the name suggests,have both introverted and extroverted characteristics (特征).But neither set of characteristics is completely in control.
As a result,they can move between being social and being alone very easily.For example,ambiverts often enjoy being with other people.But after a long day of work,sometimes they prefer reading a book or watching a TV series at home alone instead.
"It is like they're bilingual (双语的),"Daniel Pink,the host of Crowd Control,a US TV series on human behavior,told The Wall Street Journal."They can connect with a wider range of people the same way someone who speaks both English and Spanish can."
Ambiverts have gotten more attention in recent years.In fact,about two-thirds of people in the US are ambiverts,according to a personality survey by Adam M.Grant,a professor of psychology(心理学) at the University of Pennsylvania.
Grant believes ambiverts have the advantages of both introverts and extroverts.But he also points out they struggle (挣扎) too.They are often unsure which side of their personality should lead them in a given situation.So do you think you are an ambivert?
