    However, in the past, people believed in the Culture of Character - public, first impressions were not as important as how one acted on a day-to-day basis in their private life. A hundred years later, despite studies showing otherwise, people are more likely to associate extroversion with intelligence. This is because extroverts tend to be better leaders (drawn from the assumption that talking more means that you are a better leader). However, extroverts aren’t as good listeners as introverts are, which can be deleterious for groupwork. Introverts possess unique concentration abilities, as compared to extroverts, thus Carr argues that introversion is advantageous to mankind.…

    “If there is only one insight you take away from this book, though, I hope it’s a newfound sense of entitlement to be yourself.” (Cain, 15) Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking by Susan Cain explains that not only do extroverts tend to be noticed more, but in some instances being introverted is frowned upon. Being an introvert myself, I felt an immediate connection to the book.
