Ambivert

What it is

Researchers score extraversion on a continuum with introversion at one end, so many people sit between the ends, and the word ambivert is sometimes used for them. It describes a position on a scale and not a separate kind of person.

In effect

In the article on the difference between introverts and extroverts, it shows why a continuum leaves room for people near the middle.

What it does not say

It is a label for a position on a scale, not a type or a diagnosis.
