How Outgoing Am I?

How Outgoing Are You?
The Extroversion Quotient

Extroversion Score : 55


You’re moderate on extroversion.
In today’s workplace, this puts you in the middle regarding this sought-after trait. Introducing yourself, meeting different people and being part of a team are OK for you; you’re not perceived as shy. While you don’t crave the opportunity to lead meetings or initiate contact with unfamiliar people, you can do it if asked. Your personal network is of average size. Generally, though not always, others can read your emotions and know where you stand. You’ll achieve greatest success in jobs -- such as healthcare, legal work, consumer research and quality control -- that offer a mixture of people-contact and solo activity.
