If you're the kind of person that can spot a typo a mile off, or seeing a grammar mistake makes your blood boil, then you're probably a bit of an introvert.

A recent study published in the journal Plos One found that certain personality types can become more aggravated when met with a grammatical error.

The study called If You’re House Is Still Available, Send Me an Email: Personality Influences Reactions to Written Errors in Email Messages (yep, it's a long one), saw 83 volunteers evaluate emails about an online advert for a new housemate.

The emails were split into three; either a well-written application, one with spelling errors, and one with grammar errors.

The results showed that both typos and 'grammos' had a negative impact on the application email and that introverts were more likely to judge typos more harshly than extroverts.

The authors of the study,Julie E. Boland and Robin Queen, said: "The primary contribution of the current study is the finding that personality traits influence our reactions to written errors.

"Although personality traits have been linked to variation in production, particularly the use of specific lexical items, this is the first study to show that the personality traits of listeners/readers have an effect on the overall assessment of variable language."

Susain Cain is the author of the best seller Ouiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking. In her book she writes about the science behind being more introverted than extroverted, and how to live your life in a way that means you can reach your true potential – even if you’re not the type to shout it from the rooftops.

She’s teamed up with Steelcase, an office furniture company, to design a series of five work spaces that are introvert friendly, AKA: Susan Cain Quiet Spaces.

The modern ideal office seems to be open plan and less hierarchal, but the statistics show that people still yearn for a private space.

A survey of 39,000 North American workers, found that 95% of workers reported the need for quiet spaces where they could have confidential conversations – whether it’s a phone call to your doctor or a business call you’d rather not make in public.

Cain says the spaces – which are called Be Me, Studio, Mind Share, Flow, and Green Room – are meant to offer respite, as “the more employee well-being is nurtured, the better their work”.

What do you think, would these rooms improve your productivity in work?

You hate small talk

Long deep conversations with friends, sure. But making small talk with strangers, not so much. The idea of small talk can be so bad, that you will often go out of your way just to avoid an awkward conversation with someone.

Spending the day alone

Sometimes the best company is your own company and nothing makes you happier than spending the day alone at home.

You hate night outs

You hate to admit it, but you do. You spend ages getting ready, only to be counting down the hours till it’s time to go home. Sometimes a good night to you is sitting at home and bingeing on your favourite television programme.

Your phone is glued to your side

You wonder how fellow introverts manage without this. Not only can your phone help you get out of those horrible awkward conversations. But it can also provide you with much needed distractions till your friend arrives.

Long walks

You love going for love long walks by yourself, where you can truly escape into your own thoughts. Having your favourite selection of music, often helps too.
