Extraversion

Where your energy comes from around other people.

Where your energy comes from around other people — whether a full room charges you or spends you. It sets your natural volume, not your worth.

High

With a high score, people are fuel. You talk easily, laugh a lot, and leave a full room with more energy than you brought into it. Attention costs you little — speaking up in a group, introducing yourself, taking the stage all sit within a step of normal. Free time defaults to company, and your baseline mood runs bright and active. The blind spot is quiet: it's easy to forget what solitude is for, and to mistake a silent person for an unhappy one.

Low

With a low score, your best hours tend to be quiet ones. You'd rather have one real conversation than ten passing ones, attention feels like heat you didn't ask for, and after a crowded day you recharge alone — by choice, with relief. You usually watch a room before entering it, which means you see things the loudest person never will. This isn't fear of people; it's an economy of energy. The cost shows up wherever visibility is currency: rooms reward whoever speaks, and you have to decide on purpose to be one of them.

In the app

This is the dimension most daily challenges lean on — starting a conversation in a line, speaking first in a meeting, keeping a chat alive one beat longer than usual. High scorers use them to add depth to what already comes easily; low scorers use them to make the first step cheaper each time it repeats.
