Ryerson Project Item 16

I see myself as extraverted.

American adults' average (mean) response was 3.76 on a scale of 0 (Disagree) to 10 (Agree). 663 responses have been collected (so far) from 2026-05-01 to 2026-08-06.

Comparison to Other Items

Based on all-time mean agreement, this item ranks 107 out of 123 qualifying items and is at the 13.1 percentile.

Qualifying items have 100 or more total observations. Higher means indicate more agreement and therefore a higher rank.

Observed Trend

Observations suggest unchanging agreement over the observed period, from 2026-05-01 to 2026-08-06. The estimated change over that period is -0.246 points on a 0 to 10 scale. Regression results place a 95% confidence interval around that observed-period change of [-1.084, 0.593].
Regression table

The daily slope annualized over 365.25 days is -0.925 points per year, with a 95% confidence interval of [-4.082, 2.232]. This short-window annualized number is provided for reference, but the observed-period change above is the primary trend estimate.
