A. Extroverts are people who look outwards. They are friendly, sociable, talkative,
enthusiastic and self-confident. They are interested in
a range of experiences and
enjoy spending time with other people. They tend to act first, then think later.
When extroverts feel bad,
unmotivated or without energy, they look outside
themselves. This means they might go shopping, call friends or have a party.
Typical extrovert jobs are in politics, sales, teaching and management.
B. Attitudes towards introverts and extroverts vary in different cultures. For
example, Americans value extrovert qualities. However, cultures such as those in
central Europe and south east Asia regard introvert characteristics more highly.
Interestingly, research shows that people who live on islands tend to be more
introverted. Studies have also found that extroverts have
higher happiness levels
than introverts.
C. Everyone has a different personality. It is what makes people individuals and
unique. However, they are some shared personality qualities which let us talk
about personality “types”. One of the most basic personality differences is between
extroverts and introverts. These terms are used in many theories of personality
types. They were made popular by the important Swiss
psychiatrist Carl Jung
(1875-1961), although he did not invent them. Extroversion and Introversion are
ways of describing a person's attitude to the world: do they move towards it or
away from it?
D. Although the types are different, most people have both extrovert and introvert
characteristics in their personality, but often they are more one types than the other.
There has been some interesting research into why people are basically extroverts
or introverts. Some people say that extroverts and introverts are born not made.
Others believe that environment is more important in shaping someone's
personality.

E. Introverts, on
the other hand, look inwards. They feel more comfortable alone
and enjoy ideas and thinking. They are reserved, quiet, thoughtful and may be shy.
They like to think and consider before talking action, and will often analyse before
speaking. In contrast to extroverts they value fewer, but deeper experiences. When
feeling bad or stressed, introverts look inside
themselves for energy and
motivation. Introverts often work as artists, writers, engineers and inventors.
