Are you an introvert? If you are
not, then, perhaps someone you know is? Studies show that one-third to one-half
of the population is introvert. All of us have introvert and extrovert
personality within us but experts say that one or the other is dominating in
each individual.
Some people would think that
introverts have no hope of finding an honest job since they only keep things to
themselves and too shy to face people. However though, many experts in a study
held in Jakarta, Indonesia say that there are better chances for introverts to
pass and interview as they are better listener which many employers really need
from their employees. Moreover, they can switch back and forth between
introversion and extroversion depending on the environment.
Introverts have become the
headlines – albeit ironically since they do not want to get attention for
themselves- to many major media reviews and press releases. We at Westhill Consulting and
Employment also became intrigue in this personality that we also made our
own research regarding this.
Brian Little, author of Me,
Myself and Us: The Science of Personality and Well- Being said, “Being a high
self-monitor, a standup chameleon as I like to call them, that can shift
positions to suit the situation is most effective in the early stages of
entrepreneurship”. His reviews and research has been too intriguing that we
cannot help but make an article about it. He points out the introverts’
following traits:
1. Introverts Should Avoid Coffee
- According
to Little, introverts are more receptive to brain stimulation, and too much of
it can actually deter from clear and effective thinking. Similarly, being in a
noisy, crowded environment also can over stimulate an introvert's brain
activity. They do their best work under relaxed circumstances.
2. Introverts Works Well with Extroverts
- Know
what they say how different objects attract? The law of Action and Interaction
by Newton also applies to people who are introverts and extroverts. A common
misconception about introverts and extroverts is that they speak different
languages, especially in workplace scenarios. "There are exceptions,"
Little points out. "When an extrovert and an introvert engage in
conversation, the introvert takes on the role of interviewer." This can
actually lead to an effective way of sharing information and communicating.
3. Introverts can be Extrovert
- Now
many people would think that this is a scam that many introverts do to fool
people. They may also be a lot of confusion but the truth is according to
Little, Adults are not fixed into just one personality paradigm and have the
flexibility to "act out of character," especially when a job or
project requires them to take on a certain role. Oftentimes introverts take on
the role of a pseudo-extrovert in order to engage in highly social situations
that frequently occur in professions like public relations, communications, and
marketing.
