“It is like they’re bilingual, They have a wider range of skills and can connect with a wider range of people in the same way someone who speaks English and Spanish can.”
The drawback to being an ambivert, Dr. Grant says, is that it can sometimes be difficult for them to know which side of their personality to lead with in a given situation. That means they can sometimes get stuck—not realizing that they need to change their approach to feel more motivated.
they offer neither too much nor too little.
" Let me tell you a story about two thieves. One day they were caught by the guards. They brought them into the court. While they were talking to the judge, two prisoners were begging the judge for mercy, to release them. The judge was thinking and then he decided... there was one cliff near the castle. He said to them, if you can walk across this rope to the other side I will release you. The first prisoner started to walk across, after several minutes he made it across. The second prisoner asked him, how did you do it? He replied,when I was walking across that rope, I got scared and I started to fall on one side while falling I started to pull myself to the other side, after that I started to fall on other side and I again pull myself to the other side. That is the way I walk across. "

Carl Jung popularized the concepts of extroversion and introversion in the early 1920s; he identified a third group but didn’t name it or write much about it. It wasn’t till the 1940s that the term “ambivert” began to be commonly used by psychologists.
Ambiversion has gotten more attention in recent years, as books, TEDx talks and consulting firms have sprung up focusing on introversion and how personality traits impact people’s behaviors in marriages, families and work. More than half the population is ambiverted, according to Wharton’s Dr. Grant. His research shows that roughly two-thirds of people are ambiverts, while one-third are either strong introverts or strong extroverts.
introverts generally want to pull away from stimulation or interaction and regroup, while extroverts want to seek out people and activity. Ambiverts could go either way, based on the situation, she says.
Wharton’s Dr. Grant cautions that ambiverts should try not to get stuck in either an introvert or extrovert role. Ambiverts should remain nimble. Also, sticking with one or the other tendency too long might leave an ambivert drained. The warning signs will be boredom or burnout.
