Because a lot of artists are kind of introspective and they're creative types, but they really struggle with getting out there and being that extroverted, like, look at my art. And so you're the lucky artist if you are treated in both directions. I think the easiest way to think about it is just it's a proclivity. It's a proclivity to how you want to use your energy.

And the introvert is more a container, wants to contain their energy. They want to be in small groups. They want kind of less frenetic environments. And the extrovert just has a proclivity for more sensation-seeking, larger social groups. And again, it's a preference. I always say I'm an introvert with pretty good social skills. Like I can appear to be extroverted. Most people think I'm outgoing.

Yeah, I'm not. You know, it's just not, it's not my natural, like if I'm at a party, I struggle with like, What am I going to do here?

Exactly. If you're running a campaign to run for mayor of your town, you want to hire an extroverted PR person, an extroverted person to do marketing because they're going to be out there banging on the doors, not very comfortable talking to people. The introvert is going to be better at doing the accounting and doing the planning. And we've done this research, actually.

If it had been fun with my students, I would have them take their take measures that are valid measures of introversion and extroversion. I would score them into groups, like the really extroverted group and the really introverted group, and I'd have them plan a party. Just go plan a party. And the group of extroverts is bonfires, there's beer, they're

The research shows that the extroverts tend to have a little bit more success because they're more willing to get out there and ask for it. They get raises more quickly. I see. Yeah. And, you know, in my work in schools, you know, I always ask teachers to pay attention to the personality of their students because the introvert has a lot of great ideas.
