That would be the sign of an intelligent company and it would be to their advantage if used properly. It would have to be designed smart enough however, to catch those who might try to game the system.

I was not aware that companies are actually using it in HR....

Going only with my experience (because I haven't yet interfaced with other introverts for debate), I think introverts tend to pour all our emotional energy toward a very small number of people and allow very powerful dependencies. That make us vulnerable to being hurt or extremely sad, and it applies to me. There's few social things I enjoy more than sitting at a kitchen table with coffee with a good friend and chatting on a highly personal level.

In contrast, most extroverts are spread thin and maintain a much larger base of relationships that are much weaker. However, most I've known are not able to open up and talk on an emotional level about their issues.

That's one of several things I've learned in my amateur study of human nature, evolution and personality, mostly by looking at what science says and then looking my my life experiences to validate those concepts. So far, so good!

It's a fun journey I started way too late in life!......

Have a good, serene week!......
