introvert and extravert |
0.05 sec. |
introvert and extravertBasic personality types, according to the theories of Carl Gustav Jung. The introvert, who directs thoughts and feelings inward, is often shy, contemplative, and reserved. The extravert, who directs attention toward other people and the outside world, is usually outgoing, responsive, and aggressive. This typology is now regarded as simplistic because almost no one can be described as wholly introverted or extraverted. |

| Deirdre Bair, author of biographies on Anais Nin and Simone de Beauvoir, offers in this book compelling and solidly researched insights into Carl Jung, a seminal figure in psychology who is responsible for many terms that are now considered common: the archetype, the collective unconscious, introvert and extravert, anima and animus, synchronicity, individuation, and even New Age spirituality. |
