Introversion (from Lat. Intros - "inside" and vertere - "seek") - a notion introduced by Carl Gustav Jung in the work of Psychologische Typen (Psychological Types, 1921). In psychology, it means a personality trait involving a tendency to drive one's perceptions, actions, thoughts and emotions inside, resulting in reduced interest in activity directed to the outside world. (Number of introverts in society is determined by 25% - 46%) Introversion is often confused with shyness and schizoid personality. Causes may include abuse, bullying, bad experiences, low self-esteem or even self absorption and lack of proper social interactions.

Types of Introverts

Henjum (Henjum 1982) divided introverts into two main groups:

• Group A introverts are self-sufficient, confident, hard working, aloof and fond of classes that require introspection. They come with strong provisions.
• Group B introverts are shy, afraid of people and of doing things for others. They have low communication skills and like to be left alone.
