10 Kickass Facts About Introverts

4. Extroverts Do NOT Impress Introverts

One of the most amusing and most kickass facts about introverts is that they are not impressed by extroverts. This is pretty hilarious, unless you’re an extroverted person who’s bucking for a promotion from an introverted boss. One study suggests that they’re much less likely to look upon you favorably. This 2014 study was conducted by Dr. Amir Erez of the University of Florida, who revealed that “The magnitude with which introverts underrated performance of extroverts was surprising. The results were very consistent across both studies.” Not only did the study find that introverts tend not to give extroverts credit where it’s due, but they also found that introverts generally found extroverts to be less likable. One theory for why this is the case is that introverts do not enjoy too much sensory stimulus, and the constant talking and sociability annoys them.
