    Introversion and extraversion is too abstract to measure on an individual person, because like you say, other factors, like feeling, thinking, intuition and sensing tend to muddle them up, and introverted and feeling types may not relate to introverted and thinking aspects. But then there's also the problem with how static the term introvert or extravert is.
    Introversion should be referred to as a desire to use the inner world to understand the outer and Extraversion as wanting to use the outer world to understand the inner. Today, it's something static. An introvert lives only in the inner world, the extravert only in the outer world. In reality, an extravert is constantly using the inner world to cross check against the outer, while the introvert is using the outer world to cross check against the inner world, but an introvert will generally give priority to the inner over the outer.
    To me, introverts look to their personal values or reasons or what they would like the world to look like, and then they see if they can use that to explain their surroundings and what is happening around them. Extraverts look at what other people say and do and tell them, and then they think about if that matches up to their values and what they think is right and wrong. And with this, we get rid of the superstereotype that extraverts base their values on what everyone else thinks or likes and that introverts only listen to or care about themselves.

      An introvert gets their "stimulation" internally, and an extrovert gets their stimulation externally. Introversion and Extroversion refers to the primary mode of stimulation a person exzbits in the way they process information. From the internal or the external. It's about stimulus leading to information processing. Internally or Externally. This is the true meaning of Introvert and Extrovert. Bruce B.

      @Faraz shahzad Well, it may manifest in different ways. For instance I write with my right hand, but on a skateboard I stand with my right foot forward. This is called "goofy footed". It should be the other way around. Ambiverts don't really "do", necessarily , anything. It's like ambidextrous people somewhat. They write with both hands. Ambiverts have 1 foot in the extrovert world and 1 in the introvert world. It is a right brain left brain equality of sorts. Instead of leaning 1 way or the other. Stuck in the middle. The man or woman in the hallway so to speak. Always making decisions about decisions about decisions about decisions about decisions etc.............

    There are some good corrective points to folk typology in the video. And the thing about different conscious orientations, adapted to prevent chaos in the life form, is also what Jung was getting at, at least at one point.
    I would add that extroversion/introversion on the trait level is a very evident trait, in fact _the_ most evident psychometric trait, which is why a lot of observations from trait theory tend to creep into typology. And it's not completely clear how much one should include from that domain in modern renditions of typology. For our part, we solve that problem by separating trait theory completely from cognitive orientation, which can be awkward at times (Bill Gates as an E type), but tends to create less messiness than mixing trait extroversion with cognitive extroversion.
    And on that note, I can think of one website that doesn't copy paste truisms from other sites, but uses the historical psychodynamic definition of E/I. ;)

    I have found Myers-Briggs to be helpful. It may not have all the answers, but finding out my personality type was helpful to me. I knew ahead of time that I was an introvert, even though I do have some extroverted tendencies that I have built up over the past 50 + years. I don't know if there's anyone measuring device that has all of the answers, but I do my best to be sure that I own the classification and that the classification doesn't own me.

    May not be the main point of the video, but I find it interesting that so many people are convinced that Jung never conceived of Extraverted vs Introverted "types" outside of the functions themselves (being either extraverted or introverted).
    Jung clearly spends a great deal of time describing the eight "special" types in his Psychological Types, but that is predicated on the introduction where he explicitly states there are "two basic types" that are "so different and present such a striking contrast that their existence becomes quite obvious even to the layman once it has been pointed out." And that introductory section is preceded by a lengthy discussion of the significant differences and distinctions between these two "types" (extraverts and introverts).
    This doesn't prove that Jung's theories are themselves accurate -- but that's a *separate* issue/concern. My point is that Jung himself clearly conceived of "extraverted" and "introverted" types of people, based on and distinguished by their respective attitudes to the object (of their experience). To whatever degree we/others have extended our understanding of Jung's theories and further developed the "eight-function" model to exclude extraversion/introversion as its own distinct dichotomy, that is our own doing -- it is not Jung's model of psychological type.
    As a sub-set of that primary (what he calls "basic") typological distinction, Jung then *does* describe in greater detail eight "special types" that have a (dominant) differentiated function as the basis for their individual "peculiarities" -- but he describes them as extraverted or introverted individuals who are predominantly oriented by one of the *four* functions, not as types of people who are defined by one of eight functions.
    I believe that we are reading Jung in hindsight, through a lens where the eight functions (Ti/Fi/Te/Fe...) are presupposed and presumably self-evident in his work -- thus re-writing (or at least reinterpreting) Jung's theory to fit the more modernized eight-function theories of Grant/Beebe/et al. Jung himself conceived of eight types of *people* who had a differentiated, dominant orientation -- but derived from only *four* functions.
    Whether or not Jung's theories themselves were accurate or can be proven is, again, a separate concern. But we shouldn't conflate the Jungian "types" with the eight-function model(s) seen most frequently promulgated in today's personality type discussions.
    /// Below are a few key excerpts from Psychological Types as referenced above... ///
    "In the following pages I shall attempt a general description of the psychology of the types, starting with the two basic types I have termed introverted and extraverted. This will be followed by a description of those more special types whose peculiarities are due to the fact that the individual adapts and orients himself chiefly by means of his most differentiated function. [...]
    "The attitude-types, as I have repeatedly emphasized in the preceding chapters, are distinguished by their attitude to the object. The introvert’s attitude is an abstracting one; at bottom, he is always intent on withdrawing libido from the object, as though he had to prevent the object from gaining power over him. The extravert, on the contrary, has a positive relation to the object. He affirms its importance to such an extent that his subjective attitude is constantly related to and oriented by the object. The object can never have enough value for him, and its importance must always be increased. The two types are so different and present such a striking contrast that their existence becomes quite obvious even to the layman once it has been pointed out. [...]
    “One man resigns himself to circumstances because experience has shown him that nothing else is possible, another is convinced that though things have gone the same way a thousand times before, the thousand and first time will be different. The one allows himself to be oriented by the given facts, the other holds in reserve a view which interposes itself between him and the objective data. Now, when orientation by the object predominates in such a way that decisions and actions are determined not by subjective views but by objective conditions, we speak of an extraverted attitude. When this is habitual, we speak of an extraverted type. If a man thinks, feels, acts, and actually lives in a way that is directly correlated with the objective conditions and their demands, he is extraverted."

    It would be better to just use internal/external or internist/externist instead. Introversion/Extroversion are used in everyday language to describe someone's sociability which has nothing to do with how the cognitive functions are set up. This also why so many are mistyped.

      La caja de Pandora I just started to look into introversion and extroversion and I honestly was at a complete lost. For example It seemed crazy that people thought they were "always" draining energy (muddy thinking) when socializing. Even after I had to get them to admit they can enjoy and love socializing, they still continued to say, "it always drains me". Which I would respond, "in the moment to moment enjoyment of the socializing you're saying that you were being impacted negatively and you were being negatively drained?". Such sloppy word usage from people who go around saying introvert this introvert that or extrovert this or that etc. jeez.

    • @Ignasimp
      @Ignasimp 5 років тому +1

      @@triplec7713 Even if I'm having a lot of fun socializing it drains me. Drainging doesn't mean it's disgusting, just that it tires me. I have a lot of fun playing hockey but it tires me phisically; if I'm having a lot of fun I can push my body to keep going but that will also mean my body will get even more tired and I'll need more recovery time.

    @malenor4148 5 років тому +4

    You got your explanation of introversion and extroversion wrong. The question is, what energizes you, and what saps your energy, in your daily life? If I'm at a party, my energy level collapses fairly quickly. If I'm thinking about ideas, then I feel very energized. I don't mind being around people, but it becomes overwhelming in a short time. But if I'm working on an idea, I can work on it for hours without interruption.

    • @Ignasimp

      and people don't understand that socializing can be an introverted activity. If socialising consists on discussing about some topics that energises me because even if i'm interacting with people I'm thinking a lot about ideas so the funtions I'm using the most are my dominant ones.

    @yellow_daffodil5689 5 років тому +2

    Meh, I dunno man, I still think there is such a thing as Introvert / Extrovert, without going into all that Function detail. Otherwise, why would you call someone an ISFP or an ESFP in the first place? Because one is more inclined to Introversion generally, while the other is more inclined to Extroversion generally. Yes, of course everyone "likes surprises" every now and then (It depends what the surprise is!). Of course everyone likes to have some alone time once in a while. Of course the Extrovert can use lots of "Ti" in their reasoning. But I still think you could appropriately label someone as Introverted or Extroverted (Surely? Maybe?). It doesn't matter which Introverted Function the Introvert has in the lead, or which Extroverted Function the Extrovert has in the lead. (And if one truly believes that they are "in between", then they're ambiverted. But then they'd have to call themselves XSFP rather than ISFP or ESFP, you get what I'm saying, bro??)

  • @Lastrevio
