A site I read on social skills has a post explaining why it doesn't use the words Introvert and Extrovert. The main points it gives are: * There are no agreed upon definitions of the terms * Just bringing up the terms can derail conversations and turn them into debate on what the words really mean (e.g., like what is happening in this thread) * The terms cram too many sub-concepts into one * False dichotomy * Tends to ignore context (i.e., people act differently in different situations) * Associated with a bitter Us vs. Them mentality * The terms can make people feel defensive and closed off * The words can be self-limiting labels Full post: http://www.succeedsocially.com/introversion http://www.succeedsocially.com/introversion
