Social Energy
Where your energy comes from: time on your own, or time with other people.
Low: Recharges alone
You do your best thinking with some quiet around you. Social time can be genuinely enjoyable, but it draws on a reserve that you refill alone, with a book, a walk or a closed door. You probably prefer one good conversation to a room full of small talk, and you tend to listen before you speak. People may read you as reserved at first. The ones who stay find you attentive, thoughtful and worth the wait.
Balanced: Somewhere in between
You move between company and solitude fairly easily. A lively evening can lift you, and so can a quiet one, depending on the week you have had. You can start a conversation when it is needed, and you can also sit back and let others carry it. That flexibility is useful, because you tend to read what a situation asks for. The thing to watch is noticing which mode you need before you run low.
High: Recharges with people
You get energy from being around people. Conversation helps you think, a busy day full of contact tends to leave you buzzing rather than drained, and you are often the one who gets things moving in a group. You likely speak up early and make newcomers feel included. Too many quiet days in a row can leave you restless. Your challenge is leaving space for the people who need a moment longer to join in.
