How To Spot An Extrovert

Whilst most people rely on how determining how they speak much, whether they listen well or not, whether they are leaders or followers, whether they’d go to and so on, such methods will lead to inaccuracy when someone does not fit the stereotype.

Here are some tips that will help you spot even the most quiet extrovert:

  • The natural equilibrium state of an extrovert will be engaged to the environment or interaction that is happening, as that is where they gain energy from
  • In conversation they will typically have a neutral to forward lean (they may lean back to disengage while they draw upon introvert functions (access internally stored information), but they will return to their equilibrium engaged state after
  • There will be a lesser comfort level in using introverted functions when disengaging from the conversation and environment

How To Spot An Introvert

Whilst most people rely on how determining whether someone is introverted by how they speak much, whether they listen well or not, whether they are leaders or followers, whether they’d go to parties regularly and so on, such methods will lead to inaccuracy when someone does not fit the mould.

Here are some tips that will help you spot even the most talkative introvert:

  • The natural equilibrium state of an introvert will be detached or contained within themselves as that is where they gain energy from
  • In conversation they will typically have a neutral to backward lean - they may lean forward while they draw upon extroverted functions, but they will return to their equilibrium contained state after
  • There will be a greater comfort level in using introverted functions when disengaging eye contact (up, down, left or right) from the conversation or environment
