That actually may be a good way of determining which type you are. I would guess I lean toward introversion since the only time I ever find myself being bored is when I'm around other people. I can honestly say I am never bored when I'm alone.Arthur Dent wrote:I was (sort of) kidding, but you know the old maxim, "If you're bored, it's because you're boring"?

I know other people, quite extroverted by the way, that are endlessly bored unless they're out doing things with other people.
Obviously, many of us, if not all of us, go back and forth from being introverted, extroverted and many degrees in between. But for some of us, the extroverted roles that are demanded of us are more taxing. There are times that I know if I go out with friends that I'm going to have a great time and, most likely, have a lot of laughs with people that I really respect...but I would rather stay at home. I suppose for an extrovert, it probably takes as much "work" for them to stay home on such an occasion as it does for me to go out.
