Quiet
By Susan Cain
“Everyone shines given the right lighting. For some
it’s a Broadway spotlight, for others it’s a lamplit
desk.”

“There’s zero correlation between being the best


talker and having the best ideas.”

“Solitude matters, and for some people it is the air


that they breathe.”

The “Extrovert Ideal” - “the omnipresent belief that the


ideal self is gregarious, alpha and comfortable in the
spotlight.”

What If...
All the scissors in the world were made for lefties?

The majority of the population is right-handed. So


it wouldn’t make sense for the scissors to be made
for the minority, right?

Well, about ½ to ⅔ of the population is


introverted… yet our society is centered around
extroversion! We want to ask you… Why?
So What Can You Do?
Students have different learning styles; introverted
students prefer a lot of individual work while extroverted
students prefer a lot of group work. Remember:
-One size doesn’t fit all!
-Students aren’t the only people who are affected by the
“Extrovert Ideal.” Look around any office or other
workplace for evidence of this!
-In the workplace, introverts tend to be better at coming
up with creative, well-thought-out ideas, while extroverts
tend to be better at carrying out these ideas.
For the Introverts we say...Thank
You :)
Thank You!!!
