Are you an Introvert or an Extrovert?

Monday, 24 September 2012 0 comments

Extroverts: These people are assumed to be full of life, outgoing and friendly. Although that is generally an apt description of them, it is not how extroversion is defined. In essence, an extrovert is someone who comes alive, and is energized, by spending time with others. On their own, they tend to wilt and feel down, or feel depressed and bored.


Also, although they like to think, they need to talk through their ideas. It’s not enough for them  to explore these in their mind. They’re usually excellent at small talk, making others feeling included, and keeping things light-hearted, casual and fun. 

1.They need friends and make them more readily than introverts

2. They tend to seek out careers that allow them to interact frequently with others

3. They make their presence known more obviously than introverts in group situations

4. They tend to be expansive in their body movements, gesture often, and dress colorfully than introverts

5. They tend to travel farther and move more often than introverts

6. They display less incline to suffer from migraines, ulcers, colitis, and certain types of heart diseases than are introverts

7. Most extroverts prefer to work late at night as opposed to early in the morning

Introverts: An introvert is not just someone who is shy. Shyness includes a degree of apprehension, and a feeling of nervousness or anxiety in social situations, or around new people. This need not be true for an introvert. Instead, an introverted person may have great social skills, be entertaining and good company. However, they feel drained and tired after spending time with people – and to be re-energized they need to withdrawn, and be on their own.

Also, introverts are especially interested in the working of their inner world. They like to have time to think, to play with ideas, to experiment with concepts, and to explore their feelings. They also prefer to discuss these with others – rather than spending time on (what to them) feels like empty and superficial chatter.

1. They prefer to be alone or in small groups and do not need or want many friends

2. They tend to seek out careers where they do not have to meet and greet in public

3. They do not seek attention in group situations

4. They tend to inhibit and restrict their body movements and gestures and to dress in a subdued (restrained, soften, controlled) fashion

5. They tend to limit their traveling and stay in one place for longer periods

6. They display greater fears and apprehensions (suspicion) than extroverts

7. They are inclined to suffer from internalizing their feelings by getting anxiety-related diseases such as migraines, ulcers, colitis, and certain heart disease

8. Most introverts prefer to work early in the morning as opposed to late at night
