INTROVERTED - EXTROVERTED

  
Previous Top Next

Introverted: The introverted person would be a quiet, reserved individual who directs his or her own interests toward self rather than others.  One who would generally keep to him or herself and not make many, if any, overt gestures to meet new people on their own, probably seeking and introduction from a mutual friend or acquaintance.  This individual would probably not be a risk taker, especially in social situations and would not be very comfortable, for example, making "cold calls" in sales.

Extroverted: The extroverted person would be very social, gregarious and outgoing and be very interested in making the initiative to meet new people in business and social situations.  This person will not keep much to him or herself in terms of what is on his/her mind and will enjoy being the center of attention. The extrovert's interests are centered outside of him or herself.
