2. Every
third person
is introvert

3. This influences the way he or she is
perceived by others. Most introverts
tend to maintain a low profile and
come across as more quiet, reserved,
private or shy than extroverts.

4. However, the main difference is
elsewhere: Intros and extros
have different ways to refuel
their energy.

5. Extroverts recharge
by socializing
Introverts need
calmness to recharge

6. What is more:

7. No two intros are exactly
alike. Quietness comes in
distinctly different styles
»Introverts can be deep thinkers, wonderful listeners, sensitive
sophisticates, nerdy geeks or brilliantly shy. Some undervalue and
undersell themselves, others quietly turn themselves into start-up
millionaires. Glitzy personalities like fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld
count themselves among them, as well as modern day princesses like
Diana and Kate.«
Doris Märtin. Leise gewinnt. So verschaffen sich Introvertierte Gehör. Campus 2014. Page 14

8. It describes four introvert
personality styles.
You will probably easily recognize
your primary style. Note, however,
that most intros are a unique mix
of all four introvert styles.

opinion.«
ANGELA MERKEL, GERMAN CHANCELLOR
Masterminds

solid and reliable leaders. Main strength:

10. »Be nice to the nerds.
Chances are you‘ll end up
working for one.« BILL GATES
Nerds
N-Intros are systematic and often
highly creative workers in their chosen
fields. They know how to think out of
the box and come up with surprising
solutions. A possible tendency towards
Asperger’s syndrome can make them
socially awkward.

11. »Our brain filters superfluous information,
dampening our perception. It seems that for
me this filter doesn‘t work properly.«
FERDINAND VON SCHIRACH, GERMAN NOVELIST AND PUBLIC PROSECUTOR
Supersensitives
S-Intros are more open to incoming stimuli than
many other people. This makes them
extraordinarily aware of nuances and moods.
They appreciate all things beautiful and enjoy a
complex inner life. Their heightened sensitivity
can make them easily frazzled and stressed.

12. Cocooners
C-Intros feel uncomfortable about how
they might be judged. Therefore they
seek out people they know and trust.
Many C-Intros make a conscious effort
to blend in. So, their shyness often
remains unnoticed and they come
across as particularily nice and gentle.
»I am shy but no one
would ever believe
that.«MARISSA MAYER, CEO
