  As an introvert you people all misunderstand what an introvert actually is. It doesn't mean someone who's shy and lacking in self confidence, unsocial, a poor public speaker, quiet, or someone not talkative. That's common among a lot of them but they're not defining characteristics. It's to do with how they get their energy. Shy people are introverts (most likely), but not all introverts are shy. I'm certainly not.

  Many leaders and successful people were introverts. Obama was, as was Johnny Howard. Bill Gates.

    I increasingly feel like the label, regardless of how you define it, is too generalising and also seems to apply intro / extroversion is a fixed rather than transient state.

    I used to be both introverted and shy. I am now not particularly shy but by your definition, still probably introverted because social interaction in some contexts will exhaust me.

    But it depends on what it is. If it's something I'm passionate about, or know a lot about where I get the chance to learn then it can be energising. If it's a presentation to a large group of people where I am consciously being judged then it almost always tires me out. That doesn't fit well into a binary broad definition.

    Working in a job that required extroversion has changed my personality substantially to the point where I don't really know if the label does any good. At the end of the day, I think it's just an unnecessary application of social science and our innate human obsession with categorising things that don't fit neatly into buckets.

      How about if we arrange introversion-extraversion on a spectrum? I've found the IPIP-NEO pretty insightful. Only 300 questions (perhaps a test of your conscientiousness).

        Might give it a go. But even so, I'm just not sure it's a trait that's all that useful to quantify. Especially since I don't believe it's a binary or sliding scale, more like an n dimensional scale related to contextual factors.

        For severity assessment maybe. For moving towards greater openness it's more about behavioural approaches to adjusting your personality.
