Cool post.
Can someone be extrovert and introvert at the same time?
Does being more expressive makes someone extrovert and vice versa?
If someone likes to party but just with close friends or family and they do everything extroverts do but are not expressive, what kind of people they are?

Hi, @event-horizon! It is difficult to say just given the examples you shared. However, many people find themselves somewhere in the middle of the scale, as they exhibit extraverted and introverted traits.
The scale reflects mainly how your nervous system reacts to the external stimuli. Introverts tend to be more sensitive to environmental stimulation and thus get overwhelmed more easily. Extraverts, on the other hand, need more stimulation to feel OK (like chatting, partying, trying new stuff, etc). You can still enjoy meeting new people if you are an introvert, but you will get tired of the interaction more easily compared to an extravert. I hope this is helpful.
You can try making this test or this one. They are not scientific tools, they are made for fun, but could give you an insight.
Cheers!
Ok what I have gathered is that the gist is how one responds to his/her surrounding environment.
Yep, or in other words - how sensitive their neuro system is. Introverts respond stronger to minor stimuli compared to extraverts. Thus, usually, introverts find themselves at ease when at quieter places with fewer people around or when they do things on their own.
I hope this is helpful!
