Extending the Introvert, Directing the Extrovert

The Swiss psychologist, Carl Jung, developed a way to categorize our inborn tendencies.

Katherine Cook Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers elaborated on Jung’s theory to create theMyers-Briggs Type Indicator, an assessmenttool that helps identify personality preference.

Extending the Introvert Student

Suggest studying in the library or other quiet place if study groups are uncomfortable, but encourage them to participate in class discussions. Start smalland let confidence grow.

Encourage joining clubs, activities or service groups in their interest area…they don’t have to run for leadership positions (although they often make great leaders)


17

☺ Excels at focusing for long periods of time.

☺ Enjoys being alone to recharge.

☺ Prefers to avoid a lot of partying, loud boisterous events, and late night adventures.

Extending the Introvert Student

Suggest there is nothing wrong with this feeling. About 1/3 of other college students feel the same way.

It’s okay to recharge alone. Much of our most creative thinking is done when we are alone. Just don’t hide.

Knowing this is your strength makes learning easier.
