How to differentiate between Introverts and Extroverts

Introversion

  • Inward orientation towards life
  • We get energy by act of reflection
  • Interacting with others expends our energy
  • Looking for deeper level interactions/ideas
  • We want to connect deeply
  • We don’t like small talk
  • Idea-oriented
  • Internalize problems
  • We love solitude
  • Not something that is looked up to in American society
  • Connecting through the contents of mind
  • Being absorbed and fascinated

Extroversion

  • Outward orientation towards life
  • Gain energy by interacting with others
  • Lose energy through reflection
  • Happy with fluff talk
  • Talk about problems
  • Stimulation

Most of us are somewhere in the middle
