Meaning of:
Introvert:
Introverts (or those of us with introverted tendencies) tend to recharge by spending time alone. They lose energy from being around people for long periods of time, particularly large crowds.
Extrovert:
Extroverts, on the other hand, gain energy from other people. Extroverts actually find their energy is sapped when they spend too much time alone. They recharge by being social.
Quote from a website:
“A widely held, but rarely articulated, belief in our society is that the ideal self is bold, alpha, gregarious” – Susan Cain
In Western society, extroversion (properly, extraversion) is celebrated: the outgoing and enthusiastic nature of a person who gets things done and is a great communicator is considered an asset. Much of our public life is dominated by extraverts, such as Clinton and Thatcher, among others. In fact we’re living in an “extrovert ideal”: in a University of North Carolina study, it was found that 96% of managers and executives display extravert characteristics.
“When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise.”
Proverbs 10:19
At the same time, negative traits popularly associated with the extravert as well as the positive traits of the introvert make it appear that introverts are actually more intelligent. Excitability, a lack of self criticism, a tendency to speak before they think and a lack of internal contemplation are all associated with an extravert personality. On the other hand, quietness, seriousness and a tendency to detach themselves to go and consider things carefully make it seem that introverts are smarter.
Several studies exist to support our assumption that introverts are smarter. A study by “The Gifted Development Center” found that around 60% of gifted children are introverted (compared with 30-50% of the population) and that the same is true of 75% of highly gifted children.
