Recommended: compare and contrast introvert from extrovert

Not every person is the same, each person has a different personality type that effects how they spend their time, what kind of music they like, and how they regain their energy. The most commonly known forms of these personality types are extroverts and introverts. Extroverts are known for being overly enthusiastic, talkative, and energetic. Whereas introverts are known for being more withdrawn, quiet, and more inwardly focused. The two types are also know to gain their energy from different places; with extroverts gaining energy from social interaction, and introverts gaining energy from being alone. Questions may be asked however as to how these personality traits may affect one’s communication. The articles I’ve reviewed have revealed several reappearing themes in regards to extroversion and introversion. The first of these themes is that background noise, particularly television noise and music affects the memory retention of introverts negatively while having a more positive effect on extroverts. Second, that communication differences between extroverts and introverts can actually complement each other. Third, Introverts and extroverts are both self-aware of how they are presenting themselves but go about it in different ways. And finally, introverts and extroverts both have different ways in which they prefer to communicate with others; especially when it comes to communicating virtually. Background noise has been thought to help with memory retention when studying or working on a project. The first theme discovers that while this can be accurate for some personality traits this is not the universal truth. Introverts have been proven to do worse in situations in which high levels of background noise are playing. (Furnham,... ... middle of paper ... ...

    The book Quiet by Susan Cain has explained that extroverts are the type of people who are talkative and sociable, therefore, they could easily get others' attention during different conversations with the topics that they are discussing. Introverts, on the other hand, are the more quiet type. The ideas from introverts are usually drowned because they do not talk as much as the extroverts do. Introverts don’t expect themselves to handle leadership positions, doesn’t mean they cannot be successful leaders.

  • Contrast Introvert And Introverts

    Introverts are described with words like “guarded,” “loner,” “reserved,” and “private”—narrow, ungenerous words that suggest rudeness and smallness of personality (Rauch). The truth is, one is not necessarily nicer or warmer than the other; the two simply have different personality types, and society should be welcoming, warm, and forgiving to both! These different personalities are not black and white. Frankly, every person has a different personality; one may be more introverted or extraverted than the other. In work situations, it is clear that each different personality in a room can bring something different to the table of completing a task as well. Extraverts and introverts have each proven to carry different qualities into society with students in school, in social situations, and in leadership skills; therefore, authorities should look into a prospective employee’s personality type when interviewing them for specific

    Certainly, the “introverted” versus “extroverted” label is an accurate description of my personality. I prefer peace and quiet as opposed to the hustle and bustle of typical work day. Moments of solitude are also cherished and in this setting I am the most productive. I typically stay at work a few hours past my normal shift to complete the tasks I could not beforehand. This is typically due to the constant interruptions (whether superiors or subordinates) in my office. At times, I may send my personnel home a bit early, so I can begin my tasks and not stay later into the evening. As Kroeger, et al. describes, this “alone time” is essential to “sift” through the information and make “good, clear decisions” (2002, p.

    There are two distinct personality types: introverts and extroverts. Introverts like to keep their thoughts to themselves and prefer to be alone; however, introverts are not always shy. On the other hand, extroverts are comfortable with sharing their ideas and opening up to others quickly. According to Anthony Hilling in “Extrovert and Introvert—what is the difference?, “It is wrong to think of introverts as being antisocial.” Furthermore, introverts and extroverts choose to socialize differently. Carl Jung defines “introversion as an attitude-type characterised by orientation in life through subjective psychic contents (focus on one's inner psychic activity).” Introverts are known for articulating their thoughts clearly in writing because they “tend to stop, reflect and absorb information before speaking, they reflect this kind of deliberate thought in their writing.” There is an apparent difference between the two personality types, explaining why many people believe that introverts and ex...
