MBTI, or Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, is a personality assessment that classifies individuals into 16 distinct types based on their preferences. The test is rooted in psychologist Carl Jung's theory of psychological types.
Is there more than one type of Introvert?
The concept of the four types of introverts was popularized by psychologist Jonathan Cheek and his colleagues. Their research shows that introversion is not a one-size-fits-all trait but has different forms. Here are the four main types of introverts:
1. Social Introverts
Preference for solitude or small groups: Social introverts feel most comfortable either alone or with a small group of close friends. They tend to avoid large social gatherings, not out of anxiety but because they simply enjoy more intimate settings or being alone.
Not necessarily shy: This type of introvert may enjoy socializing, but on a smaller, more controlled scale. They don’t seek constant social interaction.
2. Thinking Introverts
Introspective and reflective: Thinking introverts spend a lot of time in their heads, engaging in deep thought, imagination, and reflection. They are introspective and often creative.
Not shy or socially avoidant: Unlike other types of introverts, thinking introverts don’t necessarily avoid social situations. Instead, they are more focused on their own inner world of thoughts.
3. Anxious Introverts
Tendency toward shyness and social anxiety: Anxious introverts often feel nervous or self-conscious in social situations. They may avoid social interactions because they fear being judged or making mistakes.
Anxiety even when alone: This anxiety doesn’t always go away when they are by themselves. They may be plagued by rumination or worries about past or future social interactions.
4. Restrained Introverts (or Inhibited Introverts)
Deliberate and cautious: Restrained introverts are not impulsive. They take their time before making decisions or taking action. This “think before acting” mentality applies to both social situations and everyday activities.
Slow to warm up: They often need time to get going in social situations or new environments. Unlike other types, they don’t jump right into conversations or activities, preferring to ease in gradually.
These categories help to show that introversion is not just about avoiding social situations-it can also be about how a person thinks, feels, and behaves in various settings. Each type of introvert has its own unique tendencies and preferences.
