Introvert & Extrovert Physiology
Your temperament defines how you are likely to respond in certain situations,
and can be useful for determining your optimal career path.
What Is Temperament, Exactly?

The Myers-Briggs personality test based on Carl Jung’s thinking is still used by the majority of universities and Fortune 100 companies. Note, that none of the Myers-Briggs identified personality types were considered to be best or better than any other…. All personality types were considered to be equal, and to have value. The goal of such testing was simply to help people learn more about themselves. “…. By helping people understand themselves, Myers and Briggs believed that they could help people select occupations that were best suited to their personality types and lead healthier, happier lives…" http://psychology.about.com/od/psychologicaltesting/a/myers-briggs-type-indicator.htm |
There are three basic differences between introvert and extrovert
|
There are four key differences between introvert and extrovert brain:
“The path the blood takes within the introvert’s brain is longer and more complex than that of the extrovert....Perhaps unsurprisingly, blood in the introvert brain flows through areas that have a greater internal focus like memory and planning.” “The extrovert blood pathway takes a more experiential route, focusing mostly on immediate sense experiences….” http://coralwaters.wordpress.com/2012/03/23/the-neuroscience-of-introversion/ |
"Extroverts and Introverts also view rewarding experiences differently"
“….Extroverts and introverts differ strongly in how their brains process rewarding experiences."
The study, published June 13, 2013 in the journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, "......found that extroverts are more likely to associate the rush of a feel-good brain chemical with the environment they are in at the time". ".....On the other end of the spectrum, introverts tend to be overwhelmed by such stimulation and pay more attention to detail, which is reflected in increased brain activity when processing visual information….” Tia Ghose, LiveScience Staff Writer June 13, 2013 04:00pm ET http://www.livescience.com/37427-extroverts-have-different-brain-processes.html "The levels of stimulation extroverts find rewarding.... can be annoying for introverts."

|
As parents of introverts, we have three important tasks:
1) We need to understand and accept their need for solitude......
…..In addition to alone time, introverts need physical space, some place they can go
where no one else can interrupt them or make demands on them while they recharge….
With children, it can be a room of their own, or if that’s not possible, a curtained off area
of a joint room, a special, cozy corner of the house, someplace that feels safe to them and
not prone to random interruptions by other members of the household…
2) Help our child understand her own needs.....
3) Act as advocate for our child with other adults or in other situations until she
develops the skills to do that herself…..”
Note:
"Many introverts can actually do quite well in large gatherings or social situations. Introversion
is a spectrum ranging for those expressing a strong preference for being alone to those who
only need solitude to recharge before venturing once more into the crowd….”
