<p>I'm an introverted communicator. The list from the HuffPo isn't
correct.</p>
<p>Introversion means you process internally, and extroverts process
externally. A middle ground waxes and wanes and waffles between
the two. Introverts have personalities, but they self-inhibit
externalizing their personality vocally and/or physically
demonstrable way. It's very possible to read an extrovert in a
short period of time; it's almost impossible for them to hide what
they're feeling, which may change from moment to moment.
Introverts are inside, and it takes an expert in body language and
communications queues to read an introvert. This is innate
behavior, and you can no sooner stifle an extrovert than you can
pry words from an introvert. It is who they are, like gender,
sexual orientation, skin color, etc. Only serious trauma can
change this permanently. I have seen trauma and PTSD change people
from one to the other processing method. <br>
</p>
<p>Introversion/extroversion has nothing to do with autism. I have
plentiful first person experience in this regard. <br>
</p>
<p>These characteristics are also not the same as passive,
aggressive, and/or passive-aggressive behavior, which are three
different transactional methods.</p>
<p>Observation is also different than described below;
introversion/extroversion has NOTHING to do with observation,
instead, it's a communications characteristic. Each has their own
nexus of understanding, which is likely but not always annoyed by
the other type. <br>

From Huffington Post:<br>
<br>
1. You find small talk incredibly cumbersome.<br>
2. You go to parties -â but not to meet people.<br>
3. You often feel alone in a crowd.<br>
4. Networking makes you feel like a phony.<br>
5. Youâve been called âtoo intense.â<br>
6. Youâre easily distracted.<br>
7. Downtime doesnât feel unproductive to you.<br>
8. Giving a talk in front of 500 people is less stressful
than having to<br>
mingle with those people afterwards.<br>
9. When you get on the subway, you sit at the end of the
bench -â not in<br>
the middle.<br>
10. You start to shut down after youâve been active for
too long.<br>
11. Youâre in a relationship with an extrovert.<br>
12. Youâd rather be an expert at one thing than try to do
everything.<br>
13. You actively avoid any shows that might involve
audience participation.<br>
14. You screen all your calls â even from friends.<br>
15. You notice details that others donât.<br>
16. You have a constantly running inner monologue.<br>
17. You have low blood pressure.<br>
18. Youâve been called an âold soulâ -â since your 20s.<br>
19. You donât feel âhighâ from your surroundings<br>
20. You look at the big picture.<br>
21. Youâve been told to âcome out of your shell.â<br>
22. Youâre a writer.<br>
23. You alternate between phases of work and solitude, and
periods of<br>
social activity.<br>
<br>
I'm surprised by the number of these points that apply to
me, which<br>
means I tend to be an introvert. (I would change point 22
to "I'm a<br>
writer instead of a conversationalist".)<br>
<br>
As for number 11, I would say that "Calamity Jane" is a
more appropriate<br>
description. Or that she could fill the title role of "The
Perils of<br>
Pauline".<br>
