No none Knows What Intro & Extraversion Actually Is (and it's damaging)

Practical Jungian typology in 3 parts (+ DOWNLOADABLE SUMMARY 📝)

“There is no such thing as a pure introvert or a pure extravert. Such a man would be in the lunatic asylum . . .

They are just terms that distinguish whether someone has the tendency to be more influenced by environment or the subjective factor”

– C.G. Jung, Richard Evans Interview, 1957

Introversion isn’t shyness.

Extraversion isn’t being social, these are symptoms of something bigger. Carl Jung introduced these terms in 1921 with his seminal work: Psychological Types. Jungian typology is a level deeper than personality (which it influenced heavily, MBTI etc), and refers to core psychological structure instead of superficialities.

Most get caught up in the trivial and straight up damaging.

This information can change your life (if you know how to use it).

Part I. Introversion & Extraversion

Introversion = a tendency to focus on the subjective (i.e. internal and personal)

Extraversion = a tendency to focus on the objective (i.e. external and social)

Are you in your head, and tend to interact with the world through its relation to what you think or feel? (introverted); or are you mentally present in the room, and process reality by its relationship to appearances and others behaviour? (extraverted).

These terms refer to subjective and objective thinking.

Sociability is just a possible side-effect (not the thing itself).
