It seems that each of us is interested in knowing ourselves. In general, most people like talking about themselves. Fortunately, classes in psychology, testing, and various methods of pedagogical research are already being introduced in schools . Why this is necessary is obvious. Understanding the characteristics of temperament, character, strengths and weaknesses of the student or employee, the teacher or leader will be able to give him those tasks that he will cope best with, showing his merits.
And knowing himself, a person will not begin to undertake what is alien to him, will not break his personality for the sake of friends or family. He will be better able to cope with difficulties and problems if he realizes that they follow from his inherent qualities. One of the most important parameters by which people can conditionally be divided into two groups is the relationship with the outside world and those around it.
What are introverts and extroverts? Psychologists (and before that philosophers, psychiatrists, writers) have long noticed that some people are open to communication, like to be in noisy companies, in the spotlight. They are talkative and do not like to hide their feelings and thoughts. These are extroverts. But there are others: closed, uncommunicative. What are introverts in the understanding of psychologists? These are people who are focused primarily on their inner world, preferring loneliness and reflection to intensive communication. They are not necessarily gloomy and gloomy.
They simply say, as a rule, only when they have something to say and have something to share, and not for the sake of the process itself.
What are introverts? How do they prefer to work? These are people who need their living space, they do not like to waste energy in vain, because there is not much of it. As a rule, they work and solve problems alone, independently, without paying much attention to the opinions and opinions of others. They make excellent scientists, freelancers, programmers. However, there is no homogeneity among them; we can distinguish such types of introverts as sensory and intuitive. If the former focuses on specific figures, facts, and phenomena, the latter prefers general, rather abstract ideas and concepts. A sensory introvert is an accountant, scientist, attentive to details and details, loving accuracy and order. Such a person relies, as a rule, only on himself, he has few friends, but if they are, they are reliable, time-tested companions.
And what are intuitive intuitives?
Dreamers, philosophers, poets ... People for whom the
inner world is most important
, dealing with images and ideas. These are excellent humanitarians, scholars, thinkers. They like to look into the future and analyze the past. It is more difficult for them to be given specifics and elaboration of details, but they perfectly generate ideas and concepts.
Each of these two types can be divided into two more on the basis of what is the determining factor in their inner world - mind (logical introvert) or mental state, relationship, emotions (ethical). The classification is presented in more detail by various materials on socionics.
A typical introvert feels comfortable alone with nature, books, music, his ideas and creative ideas. He does not need constant attention and companies, and his communication is rather tiring than pleasing. Such a person needs his personal space, in which no one will intrude, and the ability to create.
