It’s not about shyness, it’s about where you get your energy from.
Whether you’re an introvert or an extrovert doesn’t say much about how outgoing you are – that’s a common misconception. “It’s definitely not about the shy versus confident idea,” explains Kyla Flanagan, an education researcher at the University of Calgary, Alberta, whose work has looked at how to ensure teaching methods are optimized for both introverted and extroverted students. “Instead, you should think about where you get your energy from – groups or solitude.
For example, someone who needs time to recuperate alone after a gathering is most likely an introvert, whether they enjoyed the party or not. Conversely, someone who leaves a get-together buoyant and enthused is probably an extrovert. “An introvert spends energy in a social group doing small talk whereas an extrovert thrives on that,” says Arnie Kozak, a psychologist and assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of Vermont Larner College of Medicine.
It’s worth noting that you don’t have to be one or the other, introversion and extroversion happen on something of a spectrum and a new term has emerged for those who find themselves somewhere in the middle: ambivert. Scientists are unsure which of the three behavior types are the most common, but most personality traits are usually distributed “normally” with the majority of people falling somewhere in the middle and a minority of people scattered towards the extremes.
Indeed, there’s plenty of evidence to suggest that introverts don’t do as well in group learning sessions when compared to their more extroverted classmates. In a bid to make sure introverted students aren’t left behind by the group learning trend, Flanagan and her colleague, Heather Addy,for 266 biology undergraduate students between 2015 and 2016.
So, while introverts and extroverts may learn differently, Flanagan’s results show that both types of people are equally capable of achievement, although it does suggest that people in charge of designing curriculums and workplaces need consider both types of people.
