Poll: Are you an introvert or an extrovert?
Are you an introvert or an extrovert? Unsure? Here are 15 signs you may be an introvert.
In our January cover story, we talk to Ariana Rodrigues, an intellectual property lawyer and an introvert.
“I wondered why I’m a content lawyer and like private practice when that’s not a universal experience,” she says. “I have my own office. I’m not at a tech company or a startup that prides itself on having an open office. I have privacy, stability and I can focus on work. I enjoy in-depth research, writing and working on briefs. Introverts really thrive at the problem-solving aspect of law.”
Most lawyers are introverted, according to Wisnik Career Enterprises, which has given the Myers-Briggs personality test to more than 6,000 lawyers. Still, many attorneys are extroverts who thrive on negotiating and being in the courtroom all day. (If you’re unsure which you are, here is a list of 15 signs you may be an introvert.)
So this week, we’d like to ask you: Are you an introvert or an extrovert? Has your personality helped your career?

Read the answers to last week’s question: What case do you think the Supreme Court needs to hear?

Posted by LargeLawyou’re: “Major privacy cases. Primarily whether emails get the same expectation of privacy that regular mail does. There is a major division of argument on this issue because emails go through an ISP so some argue that is tantamount to being exposed to the general public, which destroys the expectation of privacy. Technology is being updated every day. Many areas of law need to catch up to it.”
