Detailed explanation on personality mean range
if the mean range is between 1 and 1.89 you are an extrovert. you tend to be quite outgoing and talkative. you enjoy spending time with other people and feel energized in social situations. Oftentimes, you like being the focus of attention.
if the mean range is between 1.9 and 2.19 you are an ambivert. Since your results indicate that you are somewhere in the middle of the extrovert/introvert continuum, you tend to have qualities that fit into both ends of the spectrum. You like spending time with others, but you also enjoy having time to yourself. You might not mind being the center of attention once in a while, but you probably prefer to stay out of the spotlight on a day-to-day basis.
if the mean range is between 2.2 and 3 you are an introvert. you tend to enjoy solitude and spending quiet time alone. you expend energy in social situations and prefer not to be the center of attention.
