This might explain why introverts tend to think that everyone else is more extrovert than them, there's probably a lot more introverts than we realise but we're just less likely to meet them.
For example, I’m near the average on thinking vs. feeling and judging vs. perceiving, so I don’t consider those traits terribly important or informative. However, I am moderately more introverted than extraverted and significantly more intuitive than sensory. Then again, I don’t need a personality quiz to know that!
Any time you try to reduce people to a few traits—Myers-Briggs, the Enneagram, whatever—you lose so much information that the exercise becomes nearly futile.
- Introspection, not introversion.
