Extraverts (also spelled extroverts) are gregarious, assertive, and generally seek out excitement. Introverts, in contrast, are more reserved, less outgoing, and less sociable.
They are not necessarily asocial, but they tend to have smaller circles of friends, and are less likely to thrive on making new social contacts. They generally do not need to seek out excitement in others because they are
already stimulated with their own thoughts and imagination.Introversion is "the state of or tendency toward being wholly or predominantly concerned with and interested in one's own mental life"
They often take pleasure in solitary activities such as
reading, writing, drawing,
watching movies, and using computers. The archetypal artist, writer, sculptor, composer, and inventor are all highly introverted. An introvert is likely to enjoy time spent alone and find less reward in time spent with large groups of people, though they tend to
enjoy interactions with close friends.Also, according to Carl Jung,
introverts acknowledge more readily their psychological needs and problems, whereas extraverts tend to be oblivious of them because they focus more on the outer world. On average,
extraverts also have a somewhat higher self-esteem than introverts. Researchers have found that introverts tend to be more successful in academic environments, which extraverts may find boring.
