Maybe the most talkative people in the field quickly become the center of attention, employers may be more attracted to their excessive sociability, but this does not mean that introverts are somehow lagging behind them.

The neuroscientist and author of Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking puts it this way: “If extroverts see ‘what is’, introverts ask ‘what if’.” Having worked in large groups such as Google and Deloitte, he boils down to four conclusions the amazing virtues of introverts, which, according to him, should not be underestimated.

Introverts think more

A Harvard study found that the brains of introverts work differently and have denser gray matter than those of extroverts. Introverts also showed more activity in the frontal lobes, which are responsible for logical thinking and analysis.

Another study based on brain scans of both introverts and extroverts found that even when at rest, the introvert’s brain was more active, with increased blood flow.

“Master” in concentration

When the infamous introvert Albert Einstein was a child, his teachers described him as a quiet, lonely child who seemed lost in thought, far removed from what was happening in front of him.

“Most of all I am left with problems,” Einstein himself said. This ability to focus intensely is characteristic of introverts, who often have a more extended focus than extroverts.

Because they enjoy spending time alone, introverts tend to be more likely than extroverts to spend the hours it takes to master a skill.

Often gifted in one area

Introverts and extroverts, on average, have the same intelligence. However, statistics show that about 70% of charismatic people are introverts.

People who are considered “gifted” usually demonstrate above average intelligence or superior talent in something, such as music, art, mathematics.

They do the right thing

Introverts tend to be less influenced by external recruiters and act more based on their internal moral compasses.

A 2013 social conformity study found that extroverts are more likely to agree with the majority, even when it’s wrong, but also more likely than introverts to give in to social pressure.

“The stronger the pressure, the greater the number of pleasant responses from extroverts. On the contrary, there is no difference in the pleasant responses of introverts, whether they are under strong or little pressure, ”the researchers concluded then.
