Similarities
• Some are both introvert and extrovert; ambiverts
(Suzanne, 2018)
• These are people who do not fall anywhere on the
scale.
• Very possible to have features of both.
Introversion can be described at times as just a
lower level of extraversion in some cases.
(“Extraversion and…” 2018)
11
Conclusion
• extroverts and introverts are generally opposites.
• Some people may fall as “in between” on the scale

Editor's Notes

  • #3 Many people are not educated on the similarities and differences between introverts and extroverts. It is a good idea to learn the differences and similarities so one can be aware of others and their comfort levels. For example, some introverts are not comfortable around large crowds of unfamiliar people; if one were aware of this, they would not take their introvert friend to a dinner party they know would overwhelm them, or perhaps they would be more sensitive towards them and try to accommodate them. It is also a good idea to learn for self awareness. It is helpful to find out if one is an introvert, and extrovert, or somewhere on the scale between the two. Being aware may is a good step to putting anxieties behind oneself.
  • #4 Psychiatrist Carl Jung developed these personality types in the 20th century. According to his theory, introverts are generally “directed inwards” towards their own thoughts. Extroverts are “directed outwards” towards others and love to be outgoing and are typically very responsive. Some believe Carl Jung’s personality theories are too simple, and that some do not fall under any specific category, but somewhere along the spectrum.
  • #5 Introverts are comfortable in small groups of people that they are familiar with. They tend to form strong relationships with those they care about, and as a result, they may have fewer friends and associates then an extrovert. While an extrovert seeks stimulation from others during socialization, introverts receive this reward from within. They may be constantly thinking, while an extrovert may constantly be talking.
  • #6 Scientists have found that introverts have higher cortical arousal levels, which lowers their need to seek stimulation and satisfaction from others. They have also found evidence of different brain structures between extroverts and introverts. Biological factors may also affect a person's introversion, such as a long line of introverts.
  • #7 In conclusion, introverts are usually considered to be the quiet and reserved types of people. They are extremely thoughtful, and their minds are consistently full of thoughts. Introverts are uncomfortable around large amounts of people and prefer to be around small groups of people who they are familiar with.
  • #8 Extroverts are responsive to social cues and awards, while an introvert finds these awards from within. They may describe things more abstractly than an introvert, while an introvert may describe things high in detail. Extroverts are typically willing to take risks and like to engage in risky behavior, typically in a social setting. They love being around large groups of people and can easily be comfortable like this.
  • #9 Those that are found to be extroverts typically have an increased cortical thickness. They also show actual differences in the precuneus, a part of the parietal lobe of the brain. Most extroverts have formed a strong attachment to at least one parent, and also have received less severe punishments as a child as opposed to introverts.
  • #10 In conclusion, extroverts are outgoing and sociable, always wanting to be around others. They very much enjoy company and are dependent on other people for internal stimulation. They usually like to take risks and love to conversate.
  • #11 Extroverts and introverts are different in many ways as they are quite the opposite in personality. Extroverts are drained by being alone, while an introvert recharges while alone. In terms of goal setting, extroverts will choose the option that gives them immediate gratification over a long-term goal, unlike an introvert who would rather wait. Extroverts are typically happier than introverts, but some experts are not sure if this is because they are less happy or if they are less declarative of their happiness.
  • #12 Introverts and extroverts may be more similar than some think. Some people are somewhere in between on the scale, these people are ambiverts. Therefore it is possible for both introverts and extroverts to share some features, depending on the severity of their personality traits.
  • #13 In conclusion, extroverts and introverts, are, for the most part, opposites. Some people may be described as ambiverts depending on how introverted and extroverted they are. There are many life factors that contribute to extroversion and introversion, and many could have traits of both personality types.
