iamayodeji: I concur. I would see if i can get some useful links to post. But it would be a lot easier if a question is thrown first and we search for answers. So questions are also highly welcomed. |
Re: Introverts Lounge (Extroverts Pls Keep Off !!) by Nobody: 11:35am On Jun 27, 2015 |
eipreel: Yes, great idea.. But if there are only 10 people in the world and only two adopt same, knowing quiet well it takes two to tangle; one can draw a coclusion here. So, i ll let @iamayodeji adopt it first, before i proceed. You know i try to be fair |

Myth #1 : Introverts don’t like to talk. This is not true. Introverts just don’t talk unless they have something to say. They hate small talk. Get an introvert talking about something they are interested in, and they won’t shut up for days. Myth #2 : Introverts are shy. Shyness has nothing to do with being an Introvert. Introverts are not necessarily afraid of people. What they need is a reason to interact. They don’t interact for the sake of interacting. If you want to talk to an Introvert, just start talking. Don’t worry about being polite. Myth #3 : Introverts are rude. Introverts often don’t see a reason for beating around the bush with social pleasantries. They want everyone to just be real and honest. Unfortunately, this is not acceptable in most settings, so Introverts can feel a lot of pressure to fit in, which they find exhausting. Myth #4 : Introverts don’t like people. On the contrary, Introverts intensely value the few friends they have. They can count their close friends on one hand. If you are lucky enough for an introvert to consider you a friend, you probably have a loyal ally for life. Once you have earned their respect as being a person of substance, you’re in. Myth #5 : Introverts don’t like to go out in public. Nonsense. Introverts just don’t like to go out in public FOR AS LONG. They also like to avoid the complications that are involved in public activities. They take in data and experiences very quickly, and as a result, don’t need to be there for long to “get it.” They’re ready to go home, recharge, and process it all. In fact, recharging is absolutely crucial for Introverts. Myth #6 : Introverts always want to be alone. Introverts are perfectly comfortable with their own thoughts. They think a lot. They daydream. They like to have problems to work on, puzzles to solve. But they can also get incredibly lonely if they don’t have anyone to share their discoveries with. They crave an authentic and sincere connection with ONE PERSON at a time. Myth #7 : Introverts are weird. Introverts are often individualists. They don’t follow the crowd. They’d prefer to be valued for their novel ways of living. They think for themselves and because of that, they often challenge the norm. They don’t make most decisions based on what is popular or trendy. Myth #8 : Introverts are aloof nerds. Introverts are people who primarily look inward, paying close attention to their thoughts and emotions. It’s not that they are incapable of paying attention to what is going on around them, it’s just that their inner world is much more stimulating and rewarding to them. Myth #9 : Introverts don’t know how to relax and have fun. Introverts typically relax at home or in nature, not in busy public places. Introverts are not thrill seekers and adrenaline junkies. If there is too much talking and noise going on, they shut down. Their brains are too sensitive to the neurotransmitter called Dopamine. Introverts and Extroverts have different dominant neuro-pathways. Just look it up. Myth #10 : Introverts can fix themselves and become Extroverts. A world without Introverts would be a world with few scientists, musicians, artists, poets, filmmakers, doctors, mathematicians, writers, and philosophers. That being said, there are still plenty of techniques an Extrovert can learn in order to interact with Introverts. (Yes, I reversed these two terms on purpose to show you how biased our society is.) Introverts cannot “fix themselves” and deserve respect for their natural temperament and contributions to the human race. In fact, one study (Silverman, 1986) showed that the percentage of Introverts increases with IQ. Source http://www.carlkingdom.com/10-myths-about-introverts 2 Likes |

I hope this next post will make someone smile or tweak. It is called Intelligence Quotient (IQ) and Emotional Intelligence(EI). Yes I said it. My first test was far back as 2008, the result was good but not on the genuis level(160 upward). I won't say how far it was. Note, some test out there are cheap to solve and some are different, so percentile its mostly used. Last time I checked admittance to mensa, it requires one, to be among the top 2%. Now i'm recommending this app (1). It is first on most people list and it is progressive. Very very good reviews out there. High IQ, intelligence quotient, is not the yardstick that you will make it, but an average iq(100+) is needed to at least comprehend ideas and interpret such ideas if need be. Most Top companies CEOs iq are averaged on 124+ from research. This bring me to the next part which deals with emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is put by Programme Manager at Mott MacDonald Wikipedia defines Emotional intelligence (EI) as “the ability to monitor one's own and other people's emotions, to discriminate between different emotions and label them appropriately, and to use emotional information to guide thinking and behaviour”. If I can add, it has a lot to do with that tenacity and drive to get things done and to properly manage oneself and others. I see EI on par with general intelligence for this writeup IQ deals with logical and mathematical reasoning while Emotional intelligence(EI) deals with that charisma(drive) to properly handle this reasoning and intelligence. IQ can be genetic or inbreed while EI can be learned most times. One of the most debated issue is whether the class of degree one graduated with is the factor to succeeding, considering all other variables are constant like above average Economy. Well, class matter but it is not the ultimate modus operandi to success, for if logical, mathematical, people management and charisma skills are all put together, it makes one stand out. Has they say, "you can't have it all" but at least average them, then the sky is your stepping stone. Average from my definition (using fuzzy logic model) 'Try to have' means minimum. 1. Third class - -Try to have very high emotional intelligence(drive, people management, leadership skills, charisma) 2. Second class lower - - Try to have high emotional intelligence(drive, people management, leadership skills, charisma) 3. Second class upper - - Try to have high emotional intelligence(drive, people management, leadership skills, charisma) 4. First class - - Try to have average emotional intelligence(drive, people management, leadership skills, charisma) ; companies go still hire you despite IE state.

Hello house! Do you know that most extroverts suffer from insecurity, low esteem and the rest. When you see some extroverts performing some act or addressing a large number of people you'll be like WOW! Wish i can do this. The truth is that most extroverts rely on enhancers especially alcohol to achieve such fit as they lack natural confidence... Oops i neet to do a research on this. By the way, nice write up @ Leadzeal 2 Likes |

Really? This reminds me of one of my course mates. She was really outgoing, could speak in front of a multitude and seemed so confident. But secretly, she had low self esteem and I always wondered why this was so. Is self confidence not synonymous with self esteem? Why would she have one and be lacking in the other? Olarewajub: |

It is possible for someone to have self confidence and have a low level of self esteem. http://theconfidencecode.com/2014/03/confidence-vs-self-esteem/ angieberry: |
