Extraversion and introversion are typically viewed as a single - TopicsExpress



          

Extraversion and introversion are typically viewed as a single continuum. Thus, to be high on one it is necessary to be low on the other. Carl Jung and the authors of the Myers–Briggs provide a different perspective and suggest that everyone has both an extraverted side and an introverted side, with one being more dominant than the other. How well validated is the single continuum interpretation? (The alternative would be to consider them [presumably negatively correlated but] distinct dimensions; so that maybe questionnaires pin me down as introverted and you as extroverted even though I am actually more extroverted than you, simply because I am also more introverted than you by an even higher margin.) cc Sebastian E.
