ambiversion
Between outgoing, reserved
Ambiversion is a personality type falling between introversion and extroversion.
Where introverts recharge through solitude and extroverts through social interaction, ambiverts draw energy from both, depending on context: Most people are ambiverts, not pure introverts or extroverts.
The term comes from psychology but has spread into popular self-description.
