Introverts vs. Extroverts

In many ways our society has an extroversion bias where qualities like putting yourself out there are highly valued.
Our institutions are also often designed with the extrovert in mind,
where group work is a popular practice in most schools and workplaces,
with the idea that creativity comes from a sociable place.
However, as social animals, we instinctively mimic other s' opinions without realizing it,
suggesting that your brainstorming sessions with others may not always be productive.
When we disagree with the group, neuroscientists have shown high activation in the amygdala,
a part of the brain associated with the sting of rejection.
When we think of introverts, shyness and the preference to be alone often come to mind,
but in reality introverts may simply prefer close conversations with one or a few people instead of dozens.
Furthermore, introverts may even be better public speakers
as they 're known to think through ideas thoroughly compared to extroverts,
who may choose to make rash decisions instead.
