People internal and external: introverts and extroverts

How to distinguish the introvert from the extrovert to Distinguish the introvert from the extrovert, just an introvert during a conversation looking at his shoes, the extrovert on the other person's shoes. It is at the household level. The scientific approach is more serious. So, Carl Gustav Jung to extravertive type took people who characteristic impulsiveness, initiative, flexibility of behavior, sociability; intravertirovannyh — those for whom the typical fixation of the interests in the phenomena of their own inner world, unsociable, isolation, tendency to introspection, the difficulty of adaptation.

Neuroscientists see the cause of the differences between introverts and extroverts in the activity of the cerebral cortex.Introverts, she comes in a state of excitement from the slightest irritant: it is necessary to protect themselves from the excesses, including excessive communication.

The orientation of a person inside or "outside" depends on the culture: in Western philosophy welcome extroversion, and the East focused on the tacit into the contemplation of the inner world, that is, introversion.





In one psychological experiment, people were asked to choose the type of personality that they would like to work together and to spend leisure time. As a rule, the subjects, regardless of their own qualities, prefer extroverted personality type. But as soon as they had to choose not just a colleague or a companion for the entertainment, and the other, the picture changed: not only people prone to introversion, but many extroverts have given in this case, the preference for introverted type.

Igor Kon in his book on friendship explains the reason for this situation is as follows: introversion is associated not only with shyness and other communication difficulties, but with a more delicate mental organization.

This opinion has never been experimentally verified, but it was divided and shared by many poets and philosophers, who themselves have often experienced difficulties in communicating. As he wrote in a letter to Alexander Blok, "the man Sosnowski loneliness PLI at least invented it himself — more open and soul can perceive, it may be that the other person will not accept".

Problems of introversion and extroversion are deeply interested in the American Susan Kane (Susan Cain). In the book "Quiet: the power of introverts in a world that can't stop talking" (Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking), she talks about the main differences of these types of people.

For example, on the sensitivity of the introvert to stimuli. Extrovert to a lesser extent are susceptible to them, and because it is required in more: brighter lighting, louder music, more active communication — all of that is so tiring to an introvert.

If an introvert is interested, it is seriously. An extrovert, on the contrary, lacks all "on top", but can impress a number of acquaintances and interests. Man, directed "outwards", in the course of communication is recharged with energy. And the one who directed "inside", on the contrary, is depleted. It replenishes their hand from their own ideas and thoughts.

EXTROVERTS NEED TO REMEMBER THAT AN INTROVERT:1. Wants to be alone, not because tired of your society is his natural need;

2. Sitting silently in a corner, no one appreciates just watching;

Besides, people of this type is quite thoughtful and because of long hold a pause, which is not very well accepted by phone;

7. Not necessarily shy. Shyness is a fear of negative evaluation and condemnation. But not every introvert is afraid that him will not understand and will not accept. And not every extrovert is deprived of this concern.

THE INTROVERT NEED TO REMEMBER THAT EXTROVERTED:1. Can teach you the skills of effective communication;

2. Not good at mind-reading and picking up hints. Tell him everything in plain text;

3. Parties will not "build" relationships for you, except that will introduce to their friends.

Most conflicts between introverts and extroverts occurs not because differences exist between them, but because of anilino not doing them a discount, or deliberately misinterpreted each other.

IF YOU'RE AN INTROVERT:1. As clearly as you can convey to others their needs and desires.

2.Be aware that the sides can misinterpret your silence.

3. Report that feel uncomfortable when you take your time and bothering to speak, and also when you want to go back to what was discussed earlier.

IF YOU'RE AN EXTROVERT:1. Don't forget that someone needed more time to think about information.

2.Pause in the conversation to others.

3. Before you close the topic, ask a question to the audience: "Who else wants to Express their point of view?"

Even incorrigible extroverts sometimes want to be its opposite, to awaken a new strength and quality.

TO AWAKEN INTROVERT:1. Say thoughtfully.

Many introverts are tired of empty talk and gossip. Research psychologists from the University of Arizona showed that people who feel happy often communicate thoroughly and thoughtfully. And don't spend time on conversations about anything.

2. Work alone.

Great discoveries rarely done by a team. When you are alone, explains K. Anders Ericsson, a psychologist, studies successful, you can progress by paying attention to those tasks that are interesting to you. According to him, if you want to improve your work, you have to do ask direction. In the team everyone can lead only from time to time.

3. You know, and multiply your strengths.

An introvert can behave like an extrovert to very much to convey their point of view, but he gets tired quickly. So, the lecturer-the introvert during a break need to be alone, otherwise the next lecture is not so interesting.This is not a whim but a need.

4. Study the literature.

There are different types of social ties. Reading books can also be a social action because it allows you to reach into the minds of people, even literary characters. Studies show that reading increases the level of emotional intelligence and improves social skills by helping you better understand other people.

5. Listen carefully.

Adam Grant, associate Professor of management the Wharton School, says that one of the most effective leaders he ever met, was General of the air force — one hundred percent introvert. Subordinates respected him because he was able to listen to them. Without that, talent is not enough true leadership.

6. Silently promise yourself to achieve your goals.

Many introverts don't realize that they have a "quiet" power. Instead of loudly defend their right, they make suggestions gently and tactfully. Do not negotiate, but one remark can change the course of the conversation. Do not attract attention to the problem, and are working hard on a solution. published
