The document presents strategies for creating classrooms that are accommodating for introverted students. It defines introversion and extraversion, noting key differences in how they are energized and prefer to interact. Common classroom issues are described, along with suggestions to make introverts more comfortable, such as allowing quiet time, publishing questions in advance, and letting students write out responses. The main takeaways are that introverts are not shy but drained in large groups, and teachers should use strategies to facilitate their engagement.

5. one of the elements of the Big Five and
five-factor personality models,
characterized by an orientation of one’s
interests and energies toward the outer
world of people and things rather than the
inner world of subjective experience.
Extraversion is a broad personality trait
and, like introversion, exists on a
continuum of attitudes and behaviors.
Extraverts are relatively outgoing,
gregarious, sociable, and openly
expressive. Extraversion is also one of the
three personality dimensions in Eysenck’s
dimensions.

7. orientation toward the internal private
world of one’s self and one’s inner
thoughts and feelings, rather than toward
the outer world of people and things.
Introversion is a broad personality trait
and, like extraversion, exists on a
continuum of attitudes and behaviors.
Introverts are relatively more withdrawn,
retiring, reserved, quiet, and deliberate;
they may tend to mute or guard expression
of positive affect, adopt more skeptical
views or positions, and prefer to work
independently. [concept originated by Carl
Jung for the study of personality types].

9. Introversion is
not shyness
01 "Introverts are not necessarily shy. Shy
people are anxious or
frightened or self-excoriating in social
settings; introverts generally are not."
(R AUCH, 2003)
02 "Many people equate being
introverted with being shy, but the two
concepts are actually quite different.
Shyness is characterized by a lack of
confidence in social situations, while
introversion is simply a preference for
smaller, more intimate gatherings over
large crowds." (admin, 2022)
