In today’s video, we explain introverts vs extroverts, and the relationships between these two classifications of people. Thanks to the rest of the TopThink team who worked on this video, including Tristan Reed (writing) and Nilesh Upadhyay (animation).
Extroverts are outgoing and introverts are shy, right? Not exactly. Truly understanding each personality type–and which one you are–can help you manage a vast range of experiences.
Here is something that hit me recently: For a long time, I had a certain idea about what makes an introvert or an extrovert. I had always thought that it works something like this:
Extroversion relates to how outgoing someone is.
Introversion is the same as being shy.
That was kind of my general perception. Doing just a little bit of reading made it clear very quickly that my thinking was way off! (by Bell Beth Cooper )
Recently I dug into some of the full-on research about introverts versus extroverts, and I think I’m much closer to understanding what the terms introvert and extrovert actually mean. When we briefly discussed this topic a lot of people got very excited. So I hope what I’ve learned might be helpful to you, as well.
Where It All Started–And Why I Had It All Wrong
If we go a bit farther back, we find that the terms introvert and extrovert (originally spelled extravert) were popularized by Carl Jung in the early 20th century. Unfortunately, their meanings got confused between then and now, and we started thinking that everyone belongs to one camp or the other. But actually, Carl’s point was that these are the very extremes of a scale. Which means that most of us fall somewhere in the middle.
There is no such thing as a pure introvert or extrovert. Such a person would be in the lunatic asylum. –Carl G. Jung
So really, if we looked at how most of us operated, we would never be on either spectrum of the scale. It’d be much more likely that we are somewhere in the middle like this:
There are a few theories about the differences between introverts and extroverts, and some recent research has even shown that our genetic makeup has a lot to do with which tendencies are strongest in each of us. And unlike my theory about how outgoing or shy we are, introversion and extroversion actually relate to where we get our energy from.
So in this article you’ll find more information and may better understand where you are closer. I’d like to provide here 2 tables from this article that clear things even better.
12 Quick Tips To Better Care For An Introvert
To make it a bit easier to see which things would be most helpful to focus on when dealing with someone closer to introversion, I came across this fantastic graphic to illustrate better.
What Makes Someone Closer To An Extrovert?
On the opposite side of the coin, people who are extroverted areenergized by people (introverts are energized by being alone, from their thoughts). They usually enjoy spending time with others, as this is how they recharge from time spent alone focusing or working hard.
I like how this extrovert explains the way he/she gains energy from being around other people:
When I am among people, I make eye contact, smile, maybe chat if there’s an opportunity (like being stuck in a long grocery store line). As an extrovert, that’s a small ‘ping’ of energy, a little positive moment in the day.
10 Quick Tips To Better Care For An Extrovert
To give us some pointers on how to best care for someone who is an extrovert, this graphic has some great ideas, I found.
Don’t forget that most of us are Ambiverts on this scale between Extroverts and Introverts. Since introverts and extroverts are the extremes of the scale, the rest of us fall somewhere in the middle. Many of us lean one way or the other, but there are some who are quite balanced between the two tendencies. These people are called ambiverts.

This eat that frog story comes from Mark Twain. Mark Twain once said that, “If the first thing that you do when you wake up in the morning is to eat a live frog, you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing that’s probably the worst thing that’s going to happen to you all day long.”
We all have only 24 hours per day. We cannot change that. Some people use that 24 hours per day in more efficient way and eventually get the job done. Other people finish their day and get only minimum possible things done.
We don’t want to eat that frog. So we procrastinate. Advice from Mark Twain has 2 points.
If you have to do something very hard or unpleasant (ugly frog) start you day with this (don’t spoil the rest of the day).
If you have to do 2 hard tasks today do the most difficult first ( the ugliest frog).
You cannot manage time, you can manage the things (events) that you can do during the day (or the order of events). It’s really the management of the sequence of events in your life.
Personal management is the ability to choose what you do first, what you do second, and what you do later if at all. Way you use your time and order of choices you make really changes output of whole day.

For more than 40 years, Jim Rohn honed his craft like a skilled artist—helping people the world over sculpt life strategies that expanded their imagination of what is possible.
Those who had the privilege of hearing him speak can attest to the elegance and common sense of his material.
It is no coincidence, then, that he is still widely regarded as one of the most influential thinkers of our time, and thought of by many as a national treasure.
He authored countless books and audio and video programs, and helped motivate and shape an entire generation of personal-development trainers and hundreds of executives from America’s top corporations.

Have you ever heard the phrase: ” What’s Easy to do, is also easy not to do.“?
Basically he was saying that success in anything on a daily basis “is easy to do
but easy not to do!” What exactly does that mean?
Well let me explain. Many successful habits don’t have to be time consuming or
difficult. But because they are so easy to do they are also so easy to put off
till tomorrow!
But if you don’t put it off, you will find that it is the accumulation of these habits
over time that makes them so powerful!
So next time you find yourself overwhelmed by life’s demands, just hold on to
the basics. Whether or not you exercise (for example) for half an hour or longer,
if your day becomes too demanding, just make sure you exercise a little.
The habit is more important than anything else.
Yes the amount of time you spend is important too but when you destroy your habit
or are not consistent enough to FORM the habit, that’s when it will all fall apart!
So taking this habit to your business is also the same concept. Build your habit
and keep it – even if it’s just five minutes.The daily habit will force your mind
to contemplate how to eventually find more time!
Jim Rohn Recharge Your Mind
“Success is what you attract by the person you become.” Jim Rohn
Dreaming is the first step.
Seeing what you could become in your heart and mind is something you should do every day. After this, applying real life steps to accomplish your dream is essential, even if they are small steps.
Realize that your thoughts and actions can become self fulfilling! Its not magic…its attracting success by who you become.
Understand however, that most people give up shortly after they begin. They lose heart, lose vision or both. Keeping your vision in your heart and mind daily is vitally important.
How much money or knowledge you have is not the most important thing. Realize that the vision starts with your mind and is nurtured by your mind. Your actions (whether successful or not) just support your vision.
Eventually you will get better and your actions will become more and more successful.
It is the person you eventually become that will attract success!
What was Jim Rohn best known for?
Rohn was the recipient of the 1985 National Speakers Association CPAE Award for excellence in speaking. He is the author of 17 written, audio, and video media, including The Power of Ambition, Take Charge of Your Life, and The Day That Turns Your Life Around.
