'''Extraversion''' and '''introversion''' are a central [[trait theory|trait]] dimension in human [[personality psychology|personality]] theory. The terms were introduced into psychology by [[Carl Jung]],<ref name="Psychologist he">{{cite book | vauthors = Jung CG | title = Psychologische Typen | publisher = Rascher & Verlag, A.G. | ___location = Zürich, Leipzig, Stuttgart | date = 1923 | translator-last = Baynes HG }}</ref> though both the popular understanding and current psychological usage are not the same as Jung's original concept.

While often presented as opposite ends of a single [[Continuum (theory)|continuum]], many personality theorists, such as Carl Jung, have suggested that most individuals possesses elements of both traits, with one being more dominant. Virtually all comprehensive models of personality include these concepts in various forms. Examples include the [[Big Five personality traits|Big Five model]], Jung's [[analytical psychology]], [[Hans Eysenck]]'s [[Hans Eysenck#Model of personality|three-factor model]], [[Raymond Cattell]]'s [[16 personality factors]], the [[Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory]], and the [[Myers–Briggs Type Indicator]].

=== Ambiversion ===
Most contemporary [[Trait theory|trait theories]] measure levels of extraversion-introversion as part of a single, continuous dimension of personality, with some scores near one end, and others near the halfway mark.<ref>{{cite book | vauthors = Heffner CL | orig-date = August 21, 2002 | chapter-url = http://allpsych.com/personalitysynopsis/trait_application.html | chapter = Chapter 4: Trait Theory: The OCEAN of Personality | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110707120053/http://allpsych.com/personalitysynopsis/trait_application.html | archive-date=July 7, 2011 | title = Personality Synopsis | publisher = AllPsych Online | date = March 23, 2004 }}</ref> Ambiversion is falling more or less in the middle.<ref name= "mw"/><ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Cohen D, Schmidt JP | title = Ambiversion: characteristics of midrange responders on the Introversion-Extraversion continuum | journal = Journal of Personality Assessment | volume = 43 | issue = 5 | pages = 514–516 | date = October 1979 | pmid = 16367029 | doi = 10.1207/s15327752jpa4305_14 }}</ref>
=== Omniversion ===
Omniverts can shift between being introverted and extroverted depending on the situation and their mood. This can sometimes lead to people perceiving them as having a dual personality.<ref>{{Cite web |title=CredibleMind |url=https://fdhu.crediblemind.com/videos/omniversion-augmenting-personality#:~:text=Andrew%20Dong%20introduces%20the%20concept,leaders%20they%20aspire%20to%20be. |access-date=2025-07-26 |website=CredibleMind |language=en}}</ref>
