And what do they really mean in describing our personality? The following true-falquiz is based on recent scientific findings.

Extroverts are more likely than introverts to "become involved in fights, scandals, and accidents. 10. Extroverts tend to fall in love with introverts. se even-temper- ed ANSWERS 1. True. If you've never pondered this question, you're probably an extrovert. An introvert is more given to speculation about his personality type and what makes him tick. Virtual'y no one falls wholly in either of these two categories, of course. The introvert, as psychologist Ernest R. Hilgard points out, tends to withdraw into himself and to avoid other people, particularly in times of emotional stress. But the extrovert tends to lose himself among other people. 4 2. False. Psychologist H. J. Eysenck says the extrovert tends to be aggressive and loses his temper quickly. The introvert tends to 'look before be leaps." 3. True. In tests conducted at the Applied Psychology Research Unit at Cambridge, introverts averaged a mere efficient performance in the morning, while extroverts scored over the introverts in the afternoon. 4. True. Possibly one basic reason for this is that extroverts tend to focus their sensory powers outwardly. 5. True. Studies conducted at the London Institute of Psychiatry found that introverts' speech was characterized by short bursts of talk punctuated by long pauses. With the extroverts, it was the other way around. The researchers noted that the introverts, more given to thought and introspection, used the long pauses for thinking and reflection. 6. False. Studies show that introverts, even when drinking, retain better control of their wits, mental reflexes, and physical coordination. Liquor tends to increase feelings of anxiety among extroverts but had the opposite effect on introverts. 7. True. The Society of Psychophysiological Research found that introverts hear things that the extroverts' ears don't pick up at alL 8. True. Extroverts may be subject to as many afflictions and indispositions as introverts, but studies show they are less sensitive to the discomforts accompanying them. 9. True. Psychological studies at the University of Texas show that the extrovert tends to translate his urges and desires into physical action and thus he reaps the consequences. 10. False. The tendency is in the other direction. Investigations have shown that in most cases the two types have difficulty understanding each other. 1 NEW! GE Merry Midget TINSEL TOPPER It sparkles!
