Extraversion and introversion

are deemed less stimulating by a large majority of individuals and have a tendency to find a preference in and enjoy quiet concentration, they tend to listen more than talk and think before they speak"(Cain). From Cain’s point of view about what introversion is, it can be defined as the tendency by an individual to pay more attention to an inner world of their making as well as reflecting more on their inner thoughts compared to what is around them. An introvert has the tendency to place a…

From being a daughter, girlfriend, shift leader, or a team member I have learned through experiences that communication is one's strongest asset. While I may be extroverted I have encountered different people with divergent forms of social comfortability. My experiences have allowed me to branch out in social settings as a leader or a team member, to lend a helping hand or to receiving a hand, to be confident in my ability to complete a task in a timely manner, and to give verbal instructions or…

To determine a person’s needs psychologically a psychologist must first learn about the patient. Many tools are used to assist psychologist in diagnosing patients. These include clinical interviews, assessments, and even neurological tests. These tests may give us sufficient information about a patient as long as it has reliability, and validity. The personality assessments vary in different fields from introvert vs. extrovert to rough vs. mindfulness. The first test assessed whether I was an…

Susan Cain, the author of Quiet, the power of introverts in a world that can’t stop talking, puts a new light on introverts, and how society has affected our view on this personality. Especially in the workplace. Interviewers and interviewees are more open, and responsive to willing and ambitious extroverts, over a calculated, smart introvert at times. However, often in order to get ahead in the workplace, the extrovert mentality is the only way to go about it. Hiring managers are more often…

results confirmed the zero correlation between introversion and choosing delayed gratification, thus, the null hy-pothesis holds true. It seems that introversion, or the lack of it, does not impact a human’s choice of gratification. It has to be considered, that the sample of this research was rather small, as only 3% of the population at EF Oxford took part in it. Furthermore, the use of a rather simplistic test to determine participant’s introversion by McCroskey (1998) and the change of…

Cain uses metaphor to compare the relationship of introverts verses extroverts with the relationship of women verses man. She also describes introversion as an illness that should be diagnosed. These ideas strongly support her claim that people see extroverts as good leaders and better communalist, and see introverts as shy, quiet and taciturn. But introversion is not a mistake. This trait is what they are and it is the core of their personality. I agree that maybe introverts resembles women…

My main reason for living is to be there for my family. I have no desire to interact or socialize with people outside of family with exceptions of work or school. The first video, The Power of Introverts by Susan Cain, really related with me in the sense that I would rather work alone or enjoy more peaceful environments. Although I would rather listen to music and sleep rather than read, I still prefer uncrowded, quiet places to unwind. I conform to society's norms in which people need to work…

There are several literatures that explore the temperament of introversion. In fact, several studies and theories have been considered over the years on introversion. But then again, remains to be given less significance in the society, be it inside the boundaries of our home, four corners of a classroom, the bullpen concept in our workplace and even to our common locale. It is mainly because we live in a culture that is built on individualism and the importance of citizens speaking their…

Sailing the Social Sea Thriving as an Introvert in an Extroverted World James Walker Part 1 - Extrovert, Introvert, or Ambivert? 1 Types of Personalities According to Jungian analytical psychology, there are two types of personalities - Extrovert and Introvert.

You want to have time to think about the issue and/or be in touch with your feelings before you respond to a proposal, formulate your understanding of a case, or start handling a problem. In the MBTI 16-type model, you will get an “I” as the first letter of your type code if you have a preference for introversion. With a very one-sided preference for using an…
