What is your definition of an introvert?
is how to respond to stimulation, including social stimulation. So introverts prefer less stimulating environments, where they feel at their most alive. While extroverts really want to feel the stimulation at its best. It is important to see it that way because people often equate being anti-social introversion, and not at all -. It's just a preference
What is the relationship between shyness and introversion?
Shyness is the fear of social judgments - in a job interview or a game that could be too worried about what people think of you. As an introvert, do not feel any of these things at all, simply have a preference to be in a calmer atmosphere. And an example is Bill Gates, who is often described as introverted and seems very private - but not feel it is very confused about what people think of him. Do not imagine sitting at night worrying about it. In practice, many introverts are shy, but many are not.
You argue that the educational system is directed against introverts.
In one form of education by its very nature favors the extrovert because you take children and put them in a large class, which will automatically be a high-stimulus environment. Probably the best way of teaching, in general, is one to one, but it's not something that everyone can afford. Therefore, the school eventually became the place where children learn that introverts have to act like extroverts.
Thus, the school is a place of learning for children do not like your introversion?
can see if you look at pre-school children - adults comment on children several times quieter. "Oh, it's not peaceful? Are you shy?" Once they arrive at school on several occasions will be encouraged to participate in group activities, even if they prefer. It's very well intentioned, but it has the cumulative effect of telling children that their natural preferences for how they spend their time are not valid.
How do we proceed to the step in which the traits are evaluated more introverted extrovert traits?
To some extent, is in our cultural DNA. Western society is based on the Greco-Roman ideals of the person who can speak well, an ideal of rhetoric. We have always been a certain extent, a society that favors action over contemplation. But it really reached a point where we moved from an agricultural society in the world of big business. And that's where it gets really true that to excel and succeed in a business, with people who had never met before, the quality of being very magnetic, charismatic in a job interview quickly became very important. This happened in late 20. And it was a coincidence that some do not, when accompanied by the emergence of cinema and the idea of ??movie stars. And yes, movie stars became the ultimate guide on how to be charismatic and magnetic. So if you were a private person directly addressing the question of how I can appear in the job interview is going to the movies one Saturday afternoon and there is a kind of movie star who shows the way. So it was very deeply rooted.
I would say more than ever, we are currently living with a value system that I called the "New groupthink," which is the idea that creativity and productivity from a time creative not often come from chance encounters, you have an important conversation and suddenly you give an idea how to do things differently. That's great, but too far and we say, then, that everyone should be out and move and have these conversations all day, and we are very little room for deep thought and the approach and work space where you can 't be stopped. And that's what was missing, because solitude is also a crucial element of creativity. So you really need both, we need the solitude and chance encounters.
