• Carl Jung’s Personality Types
• Introverts: Reserved, reflective
• Extraverts: Outgoing, sociable
Detailed Explanation
Carl Jung, a Swiss psychiatrist, proposed a way to categorize personality based on how individuals engage with the world. He identified two primary personality types: introverts and extraverts. Introverts are generally more reserved and tend to reflect deeply, often preferring solitude or small, intimate gatherings. In contrast, extraverts are outgoing and sociable, thriving in larger groups and social interactions.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine a party scenario. An introvert is the person sitting in a quieter corner, engaging in deep conversations with one or two friends, while an extravert is likely the one who is mingling with many guests, sharing stories, and energizing the room with their enthusiasm.

• Introverts: Reserved, reflective
Detailed Explanation
Introverts often prefer thoughtful engagement rather than spontaneous interaction. They recharge by spending time alone or in small groups, reflecting on their thoughts and feelings. This pattern of behavior can lead to deep insights and creativity, as introverts are typically observant and contemplative.
Examples & Analogies
Think of introverts as like a rechargeable battery. They need time alone to recharge, building their energy levels before they can engage with others fully. When introverts are at social events, they might not be the first to jump into the crowd but can deliver valuable perspectives once they feel comfortable.
