Are Introverts (Given a Hard Time?  If you had to guess, what would you say Barack Obama, J. K. Rowling and Steve Wozniak had in common? They are famous. They are leaders. And they are introverts, according to Susan Cain, writer of the book Quiet: The Power of Introverts In a World That Can't Stop Talking.  They might not immediately stand out as introverts. That is because, different from popular opinion, introverts are not necessarily shy. They just prefer environments that are not too stimulating. And they get their energy from quiet time and careful thinking, while extroverts need to be around other people and have much stimulation to get energy.  Cain argues that although a third of the population are introverts, most workplaces and schools are in favor of extroverts. Whether it is job advertisements using words such as "people person and team spirit", practices like open-plan offices or brainstorming, the ability to put yourself out there is the great value of the age. It is similar in schools. Most teachers value speaking up in class, group work and "show and tells". These make introverts try to act like an extrovert.  For example, Mark Dykeman, an IT businessman, found it difficult to voice an opinion in meetings when he first began to work. But he soon realised that he needed to speak up and make points.  "But research shows there is no connection between the most talkative person in the room and the best ideas," Cain says. "Introverts are often undervalued or misunderstood." In fact, introverts often get better grades than extroverts. They are also usually more knowledgeable and win more prizes than extroverts, even when their IQ scores are similar. They make better politicians. In politics it doesn't pay to show all of your cards too quickly. And introverts are more willing to stand back and listen and take extra time to come up with a conclusion.  Cain doesn't think being introverted is necessarily better than being outgoing.  She just wants to speak in support of introverts in a world that often doesn't. She also wants to encourage them to be quiet but not silent. As a matter of fact, the two types of people need each other and many successful companies benefit from effective teamwork between careful introverts and confident extroverts.
