Understanding Personality Types: Extraversion/Introversion

Let’s explore extraversion and introversion and what this means at a deeper level. Carl Jung, who developed the theory of psychological types in the early 20th century, saw extraversion and introversion in different types as the most fundamental difference between us.

Differing from how we might use these terms in everyday speech, extraversion and introversion is about where you focus your attention; or as some put it, where you get your energy. Jung observed that: “Each person seems to be energized more by either the external world or the internal world.”

So, let's talk about how having this different focus can make us quite different people.

ABOUT
Who Am I? Understanding Personality Types, Wellington: This is a group for everybody who would like to understand a bit more about themselves and the people they live or work with through sharing with others. Maybe you would like to know why your kids always clash, or why your partner is so sensitive... or not sensitive enough. Maybe you would like to know why you or somebody you love never seems to fit in. Maybe you want to know why you have chosen a certain profession. Maybe you just want to share what you know about personality types or learn what others know.

The main focus of this group is on understanding the 16 psychological types first described by Carl Jung and made popular by Myers-Briggs and David Keirsey. The key is that once we understand that we are not all alike, we can open our minds to sharing rather than judging each other and learn to celebrate our differences.
