What Are Introverts and Extroverts?

Introverts are personality people known as introversion, which means that they
feel more comfortable and focused on their inner thoughts and ideas, rather than
what is happening externally. They enjoy and spend time with just one or two
people, rather than groups or crowds.
Extroverts are people who love crowds. On the plus side, extroverts are usually
talkative, sociable, action-oriented, enthusiastic, and friendly. On the downside,
they sometimes like to seek attention, are easily distracted, don't want to spend
time alone, and tend to take risks.

Difference between Introvert and Extrovert

You can recognize the difference between introverts and extroverts for the
following reasons:
1. People who like to be alone or enjoy the company of some introverted
people and busy themselves in thinking, are introverts. An open and
outspoken person who enjoys being around and talking to others is an
extrovert.
2. By nature, introverts are quiet and independent, while extroverts are
friendly, talkative, and gregarious.
3. When it comes to talking, introverts listen more than they talk and in fact
think two or three times before talking. Whereas extroverts are completely
different, they speak their minds, and even try to figure out the reason for
something by saying it.
4. Introverted energy increases with solitude, while extroverted energy
increases with social interaction.
 5. When it comes to spending time, introverts will return to stamina when
spending time with themselves so avoid social interaction. In contrast,
extroverts prefer to spend time with family or friends, and like to socialize.
6. Introverts look quiet but have a loud mind and are also active. While
extroverts are outside thinkers, as they can handle any situation by verbally
communicating alongside others.
7. Introverts are more open to several people and therefore prefer to be with 2-
3 close friends. In contrast, extroverts are socially active people with lots of
friends.
8. Introverts do not like change, because it is not easy to adjust to new
situations. Contrary to introverts, extroverts are more receptive to change
easily.
9. An extrovert is a person who can talk to others about himself freely. In
contrast, introverts openly communicate about themselves with people they
already know and trust.
10.One of the main skills of introverts is that they can concentrate heavily on
anything, while extroverts are easily distracted by not being able to
concentrate on anything for a long time.

Pros/advantage of Introverts and Extroverts
An introvert or extrovert has its own advantages and provides benefits for itself
and others.
Here are the advantages of an introvert and extrovert:
1. Advantages of Introverts
People may often assume that introverts find it difficult to socialize, which they
think can be a negative thing but this is certainly not the case. In fact, there are a
number of advantages to having introverts in an organization. Here are the
advantages of an introvert:
Have a calm attitude.
Perfect organizer.
Meticulous thinker.
Tends to be independent.
Have a balanced point of view.
2. Pros of Extrovert

and sociable people who are outspoken and always minded and their opinions are
heard by everyone. Having an extrovert in the organization is just as beneficial as
having an extrovert.
Here are the advantages of an extrovert:
a) Quickly respond to others.
b) Likes crowds or groups.
c) Think of all as friends.
d) Loves differences and adapts well.
e) Have a lot of friends.
Introvert Type
Introverts usually have some extroverted traits mixed in with their introverted
traits, and vice versa. There are many ways to become an introvert. One study
showed that introverts tend to fit into one of four subtypes:
1) Social introvert. This is the classic introverted type. Social introverts tend to
favor small groups and quiet atmospheres rather than crowds.
2) Introverted thinking. Introverted people are dreamers. They spend more time
in their minds and tend to have creative imaginations.
3) Anxious introverts. Usually introverts find alone time not only because they
like it, but also because they often feel awkward or shy around others.
4) Introverts who are controlled/inhibited. This type thinks before acting.
They are unlikely to make a decision suddenly. Usually they will take longer
to take action.
The introverted way a person is can change over time, and in different ways as
well. A person is unlikely to go from introvert to extrovert. But it's possible that
you can become more or less introverted, depending on what's going on in your
life.
Extrovert Type
Everyone falls somewhere in the sphere of introversion and extroversion, which
also emphasizes the idea that no two introverts or extroverts are exactly alike.
Extroversion also has four different types, including:
1. Extrovert Sensor (ES). This is stimulated by the information they take in the
physical world that surrounds them. They use the five senses (see, touch, hear,
taste, and smell) to understand what's happening and learn best from it. The
extrovert censorship trusts his personal experience first and foremost when
deciphering what the truth means to him.
2. Extroverted Intuitor (EN) Unlike extroverted sensors, extroverted intuitors are
less extroverted. Instead of getting the energy of information about the physical
world, extroverted intuitors enjoy looking for abstract ideas and focusing on what-
if and possibility, rather than what actually exists. This type of extrovert is
stimulated from friendly debates and deep intellectual conversations where they
can discuss and exchange ideas with others.
3. Extroverted Feelers (E_F) This type is very people-oriented. They love being
around people because it gives them the opportunity to learn about them as well as
share experiences with each other. Although extroverts, feelers sometimes need
alone time to recharge like other extroverts and introverts and don't like to linger
alone.
4. Extroverted Thinkers (E_T) This is the type that comes across as a leader with
his assertive and confident nature. People with this type can appreciate logic first
and focus on delivering results. They enjoy forming structured systems that run
efficiently and are goal-oriented individuals.

10 Ambivert Personality Traits: Between Extroverts and

Introverts
What is an ambivert?

Ambivert is a type of personality that is a combination of extroverted and

introverted personalities. An ambivert sometimes acts like an extrovert who seems
cheerful and happy with the crowd, but not infrequently he is comfortable when
alone away from the hustle and bustle.
Ambivert characteristics
1. Likes to socialize, but sometimes wants to be alone
People with ambiverted personalities have an extroverted side, which is happy to
socialize. They tend to be friendly and quite open with others. However, not
always those who have ambiverted personalities are happy with these socializing
activities. There are times when the introverted side dominates the attitude of an
ambivert, that is, it takes time to be alone and immersed in its own world.
2. Likes Crowds, But Tends to Be Passive
The extrovert-introvert combination in an ambivert can be seen when they are in a
crowd. Ambiverts hate crowds, just like introverts. Just like extroverts, ambiverts
tend to enjoy being in a crowd. However, unlike extroverts who actively socialize
with others, those who are ambiverts tend to be passive like introverts. Instead of
talking to people around you, ambiverts usually only observe these people.
3. Good Speaker and Listener
Someone who likes to talk can be said to be an extrovert, contradictory to
introverts who tend to be quiet. Those with ambiverted personalities, again, have
both. As an extrovert-introvert personality type, ambiverts can adjust to who they
talk to. When talking to extroverts, ambiverts will be good listeners, even when
talking to introverts, ambiverts suddenly become 'crowded' personalities.
4. Can work well, alone or in groups
The ambivert personality is a flexible personality, because he can carry out the role
of extrovert or introvert. Ambivert flexibility in this life includes for work matters.
When working individually, ambiverted people will be dominated by their
introverted side, which is full of calculation and perfectionism towards the task at
hand. Meanwhile, when the ambivert is faced with a job that requires a lot of
discussion and teamwork, the extrovert side that 'plays', which is active in
communicating with the team and expressing his opinion.
5. Adaptable As explained earlier, ambiverts are flexible.
This gives an advantage to those who are endowed with this personality, which is
to easily adapt to any social environment. Want to be invited 'crowded' by
extroverts can, even so when it comes to being in the midst of introverts who tend
to be quiet and shy, ambiverts can be a fun 'ice breaker'.
6. Hard to Predict
Nevertheless, it must be admitted that the ambivert personality is someone who is
moody. The existence of 2 (two) sides of personality in an ambivert makes them
often change their mood. Don't be surprised when your friend (or maybe yourself)
who is usually cheerful and talkative, suddenly becomes quiet and asks you not to
disturb her first. This is one of the recognizable traits of ambiverts.
7. Plin-Plan (wishy-washy)
The ambivert likes the activities of an extrovert, as well as the way to please
himself in the style of introverts. This sometimes has a negative impact on an
ambivert, especially when making decisions. For example, you invite your friend
who is actually an ambivert. Instead of immediately agreeing or rejecting your
invitation, he tends to be 'upset' in determining whether to go out with you or not.
On the one hand, your offer is interesting to him. But on the other hand, he also
wants to stay at home doing activities such as watching movies or reading books.
A little annoying, isn't it? But that's what ambiverts are.
8. Can Be Spoken to Lightly or Heavily
Are your friends discussing lighthearted topics like a new movie, an upcoming
music concert, to a viral event? Then you who are ambiverted will be happy to
serve the chat. But when faced with a chat with a more serious topic, such as
politics or even philosophical discussions, you can also be an exciting interlocutor,
even very fun since ambiverts do prefer chat topics that can be said to be 'heavy'.
9. Easy to Trust, Easy Not to
Depending on who the person is, those with ambiverted personalities may trust the
person right away, but there are times when it takes a little longer for them to trust
others completely. For some reason, ambiverts seem to have their own beliefs that
help them in providing that sense of trust. You agree?
10. Don't Want to Meet New People in a New Place
Although ambiverts tend to be easy to socialize, even with other people they just
know, the recognition process must take place in a place that is familiar to them.

Advantages of Being an Ambivert

Being an ambivert has a number of advantages related to his life journey as well as
how he is in the midst of society. Broadly speaking, the advantages of being
ambiverted include:
1. Easy to adapt
Whether it's in a crowded and cheerful extroverted environment, or in the midst of
introverts who seem 'quiet', it is not a problem for ambiverts. For him, all
personality types are the same.
2. Stable emotions
Extroverts tend not to be easily affected by stimulants they receive from outside, in
contrast to introverts who are known as sensitive individuals. Ambiverts who are in
the middle of the two tend to be more emotionally stable. They are not too
'ignorant', nor too 'sensitive'.
3. Intuitive
Daniel K. Pink, a journalist once said that those with ambiverted personalities
know when it's time to speak, and when it's time to be quiet. Their intuition in
behaving is better than those who have extroverted and introverted personalities.
That's the information about introverted personalities that you need to know. Do
the above traits describe you?
