Both are possible. Introversion can be learned or unlearned. Personally, I think the Myer-Briggs personality types make sense here. Your type of personality determines whether you'd be introverted or not. 36 Likes 1 Share |

Good question. I have a very early memory of my childhood, when I was in KG 2. Throughout the first day, I didn't talk to anyone or play with anyone. I've also had short-sightedness since I was little and I couldn't see the writings on the board, but I didn't tell anyone — including the teacher. I was just mute throughout the day and slept off at some point. A neighbor of mine later came to pick me up and told the teacher that I was always quiet like that. All through my school years and now during my service, it's been the same o. So I guess I would say I was born introverted. There's definitely many people that become introverted due to certain situations or circumstances, though. 103 Likes 6 Shares |

ashewoboy:Both... Genetics: some people are predisposed to being introverts... They inherit this trait from their parents or grandparents... And introverts are 'made' too... In the sense that a person can become introverted due to his/her environment... For example. A child who's bullied may grow up to become a reserved adult... Children who stammer too... Children who lacked attention or grew up with no playmates... Etc... Get it? 77 Likes 9 Shares |

Nosayer: How can a type of personality determine whether one is introverted or not, when Introvert is a personality itself Why would you mention Myer-Briggs personality from nowhere without defining, expressing or introducing it Like someone said, you ended up saying nothing. 33 Likes 2 Shares |

Both are possible I remember when i was younger, i didn’t enjoy visiting people nor being in large gatherings. A birthday party was thrown for my younger sister, I couldn’t stay outside for more than 20mins, I even almost missed the family picture, my dad had to threaten me to come out. When i finished my secondary education, i made new friends and become extremely loud, went to late night parties, mixed with different people. I became more alive, my mum was very happy about the new me ( except the partying part ) When we left the barracks for our house, it was a new site then, no one to talk to, except my younger siblings and they were still in secondary school, my elder sister was in uni, so I stayed home from morning till 6pm alone. everything became boring again and I returned to the old me. Up till today, i find it very unnecessary to talk on phone, I’ll rather chat, i don’t enjoy visiting people or being visited, i can be with you for hours and not say anything. Throughout my tertiary life, i had only two friends, apart from this guys, no other person can claim they’ve heard me say more than 5 sentences. Forget all the rain boot kicking and all. In real life I’m too quiet, even for my own liking. Nairalanders who have met me can testify. So, it is possible for an introvert to be born or made. It can be inherited and situations can force one to be an introvert. Situations like mouth odour, bad diction, low self esteem, pride etc One of the reason why i kick people with my rain boot Damn... nasty... I’m out of here 83 Likes 3 Shares |

Bluezy13: I'd have appreciated it if you'd brought up a point to converse on rather than try to grab the air by attacking the post instead of probing or making a point. You want to know about the Myer-Briggs? Well, it is a personality classification based on people's propensity to be active in an area or not. It involves things like affirmativeness, conscientiousness, thinking styles and so on. I said introversion can be learned because some situations forces people to either stay indoor or outdoors. So the think they have a particular personality type. However, when the situation changes and their behavioural propensity changes, they unlearn introversion. True introversion is the one linked with the Myer-Briggs personality and that's why I mentioned it. It's possible for someone to claim introversion while he/she does not engage in mindful thinking, sense of perception, judgement etc known for popular introverts IFNJs like Ghandi and Plato. 18 Likes 1 Share |

Nosayer: I know of Myer-Briggs classification of personalities, I did not need your explanation. If I am to cling unto your explanation of Myer-Brigg's, then it will counter Sperry's classification of personalities as well. But let's not go into that. My emphasis is that it is somewhat barbaric and detrimental to communication if one should introduce a formal name without explaining it and relating it to a bone of contention respectively. Just like a child asking you why a lung she spotted on a paper appeared as if it was dark and rusty or gray like charcoal, you replied that it is pseudomonoultramicrosopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. And you stopped there. In your mind now, the child should do a research or you are trying to appear learned. Something you should explain in the layman's light or explain it simply after introducing it. It you think I'm blabbing; ask the OP if he understood what Myer-Briggs classification is or if actually you answered his question. A message not understood is as good as not passing any message at all. Also, I maintain that introvert is a personality. You opined that one's type of personality determines whether one is introverted or not. Now, if introvert is a personality itself, then by your opinion, it as just like saying; One's type of personality determines whether one is a personality or the other... This...my friend, is tautology. It is a contextual error. Take a careful rational review of your initial comments and you will figure out my point. BTW, the classification of personalities into Introverts and Extroverts and... somehow Ambiverts was not originally introduced by Myer-Briggs. Myer-Briggs only expanded the two (or three) classifications in an attempt to fill in the loopholes apparently accumulated. 15 Likes 2 Shares |

Uniquetani1: I was born into a very extroverted society. Everybody around me... Siblings, family, friends etc were extroverts. I remain(ed) an introvert. That personality is a function of both nature and society. 24 Likes 1 Share |
