The Introvert Advantage.
-Innies draw energy frm ideas, emotions and impressions,
there isa need to limit social exp so they wont get drained
they are energy conservers (rechargable batteries)

-Outie are energised by the external world, thru activities, ppl, palces and things.
they are energy spenders, dislike internal contemplation, alone and understimulated.

Main difference
1) refuelling
-Innies need to calculate how much energy something will take, how much they need to conserve then plan accordingly.

2) stimulation
-Outies like to exp alot, they generalise.
-Innies like to know what they exp, prefering depth.
jus being around ppl drains energy. even though they like ppl, but after talking to anyone, they usually fell a need to move away.

3) breath & depth
Innies like to delve deeply into topics and look for richness, when they are interrupted, lots of energy is needed to regain conc. they zone out when overstimulated. what drives Innies into center stage is often diff frm what drives Outies, being a quest for work that has meaning.

4) How Brain works.
Innies have longer, slower acetylcholine circuit thus they:
-have a gd memeory but require time to rememeber.
-can forget things they do well
-are clearer bout ideas after sleeping on them
-may hav trouble getting motivated
-slow to react under stress.

-innies shut down external stimulation when they had enough. they need to compare external exp.
-their reluctance to spend much energy on socializing, is due to the preference over meaty conversations that nourishes them.
-energy conservation is also why they are very interested in the activities but sometimes prefer to oberserve rather than joining in.
-time is needed to think and they dont speak with spontaneity unless it's a familar subject.
-Innies dislike interrupting, so they might say something softly or without emphasis.
-Outies are mistrustful of Innies cos they do something outies hate- daring to suggest that they stop reacting before barging ahead.
-slower-paced Innies like to stop and smell the roses while Outies are like racehorses, they whinny and tug at the reins if you try to restrain them.

There is no pleasure in having nothing to do; the fun is having lots to do & not doing it
