Well I am very introverted too, and I find the quote 'there's no such thing as a pure introvert or extrovert, such a person would be in an insane asylum' amusing because I've been in a mental hospital before... maybe that had a lot to do with it. I think I may come off really weird and strange to others even though I myself kind of feel very normal and boring.

Well I think when you break things down gradients do exist and they are situational like the map of a terrain, there are peaks in certain areas and valleys in others. I for example would say I'm an introvert, but when I was younger I had a tendency to be a hyper child that was outgoing -- in certain situations people can activate me to be more outgoing and once I'm in that mood I can be a very pleasant extrovert. In most close relationships with people I've been extroverted on many occasions. So I can see these valleys and peaks in my life based on situation and time.
Although with a system like this it would be hard to get a clear definition of personality, so generally we average out this "terrain" and talk of extroverts and introverts, but I've always known the story was more complex. These days I'm beginning to think something deeper than get a superficial label is more useful in terms of understanding one's identity... something like a mirror that reflects back into your soul, some kind of intuitive insight into oneself and the others around you, and see how it all connects like a recurring dream that spins fate against free will.
