I have an alternative suggestion: don't try to put people in just two, distinct categories.
We're not red/blue, (pardon the racist terminology)"of color"/white, left/right.
We're at least fifty shades of everything in between.
This whole introvert/extrovert debate to me seems like a yet another attempt at "us vs them".
- revskill 4y agoThe reality is different. In this aspect, it's real. There're only 2 types. Those who're used to be vocal or were born vocal, they couldn't stop being vocal.
- sharkbird2 4y agoThere are degrees of introversion/extroversion as well.
- BlargMcLarg 4y agoMany of them could, in fact, stop being vocal. They did not have an incentive to. They had an incentive to be/become vocal. That's the fundamental issue which has very little to do with extraversion. The world rewards loudness, and most attempts at making the world slower and more silent are actively thwarted.

- xorcist 4y agoOf course there is no us and them But them they do not think the same
