1. Introversion is the state of being predominantly interested in one's own mental self.
Introverts are typically perceived as more reserved or reflective. Some popular
psychologists have characterized introverts as people whose energy tends to expand
through reflection and dwindle during interaction. Advantages of being dominantly
introvert are the abilities to reflect, to be alone and work independently. It is considered
that introverted persons might be successful as artists, writers, scientists, composers,
inventors and similar professions where the abilities of strong reflection and independent
work are mandatory. On the other hand, introverted persons have several week spots.
They usually have problems with team work, socialization, public speak and might not be
successful in professions that demand extraversion, for example, politics, show business,
teaching, medicine. Petric, D. (2019, September 3)
2. Orientation toward the internal private world of one’s self and one’s inner thoughts and
feelings, rather than toward the outer world of people and things. Introversion is a broad
personality trait and, like extraversion, exists on a continuum of attitudes and behaviors.
Introverts are relatively more withdrawn, retiring, reserved, quiet, and deliberate; they
may tend to mute or guard expression of positive affect, adopt more skeptical views or
positions, and prefer to work independently.
3. This kind of personality is the opposite of the previous one. Introversion is a
preference to focus on the world inside the self. Introverts tend to be quiet, peaceful, and
deliberate and are not attracted to social interactions. An introvert can do activities
alone or with one other close friend. According to Carl Jung, here is the definition of
Introvert: “The introvert is not forthcoming; he is as though in continual retreat
before the object. He holds aloof from external happenings, does not join in, has a
distinct dislike of society as soon as he finds himself among too many
people. He confronts the world with an elaborate defensive system
compounded of scrupulosity, pedantry, frugality, cautiousness, pain, and open-eyed
distrust. Under normal conditions he is pessimistic and worried, because the world and
human beings are not in the least good but crush him... his own world is a safe harbor, a
carefully tended and walled-in-garden, closed to the public and hidden from
prying eyes. His own company is the best.”
4. Introvert infers both environment constraints and social interactions through observing
the dynamic scene instead of communicating with other humans, hence, its computational
cost is independent of how crowded the surrounding of a target human is. Shafiee et al.
(2021)
5. Introversion is a basic personality style characterized by a preference for the inner life of
the mind over the outer world of other people. One of the Big Five dimensions that define
all personalities, introversion sits on a continuum at the opposite end of which
is extroversion. Compared to extroverts, introverts enjoy subdued and solitary
experiences.Introverts do not fear or dislike others, and they are neither shy nor plagued
by loneliness. A crowded cocktail party may be torture for introverts, but they enjoy one-
on-one engagement in calm environments, which is more suited to the make-up of
their nervous system. Evidence suggests that, unlike with extroverts, the brains of
introverts do not react strongly to viewing novel human faces; in such situations they
produce less dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with reward.
