Introverts vs. Extroverts

What's the difference between Introversion vs. Extroversion? How are introverts different from extroverts? Introversion is used by all types in the Myers-Briggs 16 personalities system, but it's valued in habitual predominance by the Introverted Ixxx types (INFJ, INTJ, ISFJ, ISTJ, ISTP, ISFP, INFP, INTP). Extroversion is used by all types in the Myers-Briggs 16 personalities system, but it's valued in habitual predominance by the Extroverted Exxx types (ENFJ, ENTJ, ESFJ, ESTJ, ESTP, ESFP, ENFP, ENTP). In this video I'll define introversion and extroversion so hopefully you can more easily distinguish introverts from extroverts.

FAQ:
Have you heard of the 8-function model?
Yes, I was introduced to the 8-function model in approx. 2016. I plan to make videos on it in the future, but I don't feel solidified enough in my understanding of how it works universally to feel comfortable teaching on it yet. However I have always found it interesting in my personal life, and I've been recently trying to develop Ti, which is not in my top 4. My Fe-polr video and my livestream discussing my type both showcase my interest in the 8-function model.
Have you heard of socionics, enneagram, tritype, vultology, 4 sides of the mind, interaction styles, OPS, or CPT?
Yes to all. As for socionics & enneagram, I have done a few collabs on my channel (those videos can be found on my playlist titled "Alexis On Other Channels"). I have read several books on those two topics. In addition to collabs, I have a few enneagram 5 videos on my channel, and one Fe polr video on my channel. The other systems I've heard of and studied on a surface-level. For one reason or another, none of these topics have interested me enough to discuss regularly on the channel.

I'm glad that you touched on the way that Jung used the words 'subjective' and 'objective' because I see a lot of people confusing those concepts with modern, colloquial use of those words to infer the degree to which certain cognitive functions (and thus those that utilize those functions) are or are not inherently biased and/or logical. I see it a lot and it irks.

Very well articulated, researched and understood

[@LilachLavy]

Profound & useful

[@PositivePulse123]

All Myers Briggs test and others question if you like going to parties, outgoing things like that. I put no and it classifies me for infp. Could all these test be wrong? I read a lot and dance a lot, and scroll on the computer. According to you I might be an ENFP. I dated an INTJ for 5 years. He read a lot. But he was INTJ.

[@jaredvaughan1665]

I think 60/40 is the best ratio for introversion and extroversion

[@mattguess9887]

Perhaps that ratio works well for you.

[@CheeryCherry3987]

I think a good ratio for all the MBTI is 60-75/25-40

[@qua7771]

I'm about 55/45, and it feels like a juggling act between getting the right amount of socialization, and personal space. Outsiders don't understand. I also have difficulty understanding those on extreme sides of the spectrum. I'll agree that being centered is healthy.
