I love to read this kind of article, but am up against the clock right now...Cordon Bleu is calling.

When I was in college, I wrote an essay about myself as a self-described introvert. The teacher actually argued with me that I was, in fact, NOT an introvert. Then she proceeded to ask to keep a copy to share with future classes.

Apparently, I fool a lot of people. Is there such thing as an extravert-on-demand? I can do that.

Interesting that both my parents are introverts, but you'd never know it unless you KNEW them. My dad is a good example. His co-workers described (he's retired) him as VERY personable and outgoing. When my mom read this, she told me she wondered if they had the right guy.

So, it appears blending in socially works on demand for some who wish to utilize that.
