Extrovert, Introvert, Ambivert.
There is no one in this world less alike than an extrovert and an introvert. Polarly opposite, like day and night, they divide the world into calm creators and impulsive figures.
How are these mysterious personalities arranged? What are their strengths and weaknesses?
Introverts and extroverts do not become, they are born. Introverted individuals are particularly sensitive to external stimuli. A large crowd of people, loud exclamations, and the bustle of life quickly tire them. An introvert just needs to be alone with himself, think over the day, and put all his thoughts on the shelves, looking thoughtfully at the ceiling. In addition, the introvert is distinguished by high activity in the frontal lobe of the brain. As we know, this particular part of the brain is responsible for concentration, memory, and learning. Therefore, introverted people are very focused on their internal processes. They often need minutes of silence to calmly sort out everything that is in their head.
The situation is quite different with extroverts. Extraverted individuals are very active in processing sensory impressions. They just need human communication and constant exchange of information. From there they draw energy, which allows them to feel better and to exchange information even more actively. That is why extroverts are adept at trickling down. They fascinate with their euphoria and enthusiasm and are able to find inspiring moments in everyday conversations.
Introverts, on the other hand, don't have much respect for small talk. They prefer long, philosophical conversations, thoughtful pauses, and thoughtful poses. Their strength lies in their ability to listen very carefully and patiently to the hour-long monologues of their interlocutor. This allows them to be very good observers. Therefore, they easily notice the slightest changes in the mood of the interlocutor, anticipating the further development of events.
The strong side of extroverts lies in their talent to present themselves well and competently: interviews, the public speaking, spontaneous conclusion of deals - it is difficult to find someone who could do this better than an extrovert. Persistence and well-chosen words turn this personality type into an active and successful person.
However, the impulsiveness and thirst for communication inherent in pronounced extroverts can confuse the introverted interlocutor during their interaction. An introvert who is somewhat passive and delayed in making decisions may be agitated and disturbed by the extrovert's over-vigor.
As we can see, both personality types are incredibly different from each other. There is a gap between them, which can only be overcome by the third type of personality, the so-called ambivert.
Ambivert is able to combine the traits of both an energetic extrovert and a calm introvert. Balance combined with persistence, sociability combined with non-conflict are the main features of this type of personality. As a kind of mediator between pronounced introverts and extroverts, ambiverts are able to effectively interact with both. Perhaps it is this type of personality that maintains harmony in the contrasting world of extroverts and introverts.
