Introvert or Extrovert?

The other day when I was taking the elevator down to my car, there was a middle-aged man who was extremely talkative. He walked into the elevator and immediately said, "How's everyone doing today?" The other three people standing with me in the elevator were all trying to avoid conversation with him by either looking on their phones or not making any eye contact with him. Being talkative seemed so natural to him. I thought to myself, this man must be an extrovert!!

Do you know what an extrovert means and what the difference is between and extrovert and introvert? Look at the picture below, who are you most like?

How to remember the difference? Just remember, introvert is internal and extrovert is external (outside environment).

Knowing the difference between an introvert and extrovert may be important in interviews. Some companies might want to know if your personality fits into the workplace. So a question on introvert/ extrovert might come up.

It's also very important in teaching, as understanding students better can make learning for them a lot more motivating and welcoming. If you're a student, understanding your own personality will help you organize your time better and push yourself to new boundaries. If you're an employee or manager, being familiar with different types of personalities can help you improve relationships.
