Example text
But with introverts who are more reserved and less trusting, it is hard to know what they are thinking or feeling because they tend not to volunteer that information. Introverts may disclose little about themselves and bottle up emotions. Extroverts usually want more contact, time, and conversation and may stress an introvert with their seemingly constant demands. Consistent talking can be exhausting and overwhelming to an introvert. Extrovertsâ demands may drive introverts into escaping their requests for company, attention, and deep conversation by more withdrawal into time alone.
Such information also helps to identify where both synergy and potential clashes might occur. In this section, three of the four âstyleâ dimensions, which are the basis of the MBTI, are discussed. In parts, the terminology is different from that used by the MBTI. The three discussed here are: ⢠whether you are more extroverted or more introverted ⢠whether you have a preference for a planned orderly life over a more flexible one where options are kept open ⢠whether you have a greater preference for logic or emotions as the basis for your decision making.
Extroverts may interrupt and not allow the introverts to finish their sentences. The introvert may say too little and appear not to respond to what the extrovert says. The extrovert may be convinced that the introvert doesnât care and isnât listening. The less the introvert says in response, the more the extrovert panics and talks to fill the space. In return, the introvert is convinced there is no point in trying to say anything because there will be no space, and the extrovert only wants to tell, not listen, anyway.
