What Makes a Person ‘Introverted’ or ‘Extroverted’?

Imagine your brain is like a battery. Introverted people are like batteries that need to be recharged after being used a lot, they prefer quiet time with friends or alone. Extroverted people are like batteries that get more energy the more they use them, they love being around lots of people and feel refreshed in busy places.

How It Works

Introverts often think before speaking, while extroverts speak first and think later. They also recharge differently: introverts might read a book to relax, while extroverts might go out with friends.
