Deenz IEA Personality Inventory (DIEA)

Based on Deenz IEA Personality Inventory the Introvert vs Extrovert vs Ambivert Test is an online self-assessment tool designed to determine whether an individual is introverted, extroverted, or ambiverted. This self-assessment is 18-item questionnaire used to identify an individual’s energy flow and social orientation.

Carl Jung was a psychologist who introduced the concept of introversion and extraversion in his book "Psychological Types". According to Carl Jung, people spend their energy and attention in different ways and in different directions. This is not simply about being shy or sociable, but about where a person draws energy. Some individuals prefer being alone and feel recharged through solitude, while others gain energy from social interaction and external stimulation.

Introvert: Sometimes introversion is confused with shyness, but introversion is a personality trait in which a person prefers to focus on internal thoughts and feelings rather than seeking stimulation from the outside world. Introverted individuals often feel refreshed after spending time alone. They typically enjoy reflection, quiet environments, reading, and meaningful conversations.

Extrovert: Extroversion is a personality trait in which people gain energy from social activities, external experiences, and interactions with others. Extroverted individuals often enjoy meeting new people, participating in group activities, and openly sharing thoughts and feelings. They tend to feel energized through social engagement and external stimulation.

Ambivert: Ambiversion represents the middle ground between introversion and extroversion. Ambiverts may enjoy social interaction and also appreciate solitude. Their preference often changes depending on circumstances, mood, environment, and personal needs. Ambiverts are generally adaptable and comfortable functioning in both social and solitary settings.

The assessment consists of 18 statements and typically requires 3–5 minutes to complete. Participants respond to statements describing social preferences, communication styles, energy patterns, and interpersonal behaviors.

The inventory contains 18 items scored on a five-point agreement scale.

Raw scores range from 0 to 72.
