For extroversion, the mean is just above 63%, so your score of 58% is slightly below-average. On your Facebook personality profile, it tells you the percentile that your trait score falls into, so it should say something about how around 60% of people have a higher extroversion score than you.

On all other personality tests (including Myers Briggs) I am an introvert. But here I came out as a serious extrovert for a lot of questions. Who is this person? I was thinking; I don't recognise her at all. After 60 questions I still have a score (58%) that's above the mean on the intro-extro scale. Summat wrang 'ere, lads.
