10 Kickass Facts About Introverts

8. Carl Jung Coined The Term “Introvert”

We have the master psychologist Carl Jung to thank for the concepts of extroversion and introversion. Like so many other aspects of psychology, the man was a pioneer in this field, and was the one who first came up with the term “extrovert” and “introvert.” But way back when he first coined the terms, he also made sure people realized that it was not something that was either black or white. Some people since then seem to have misinterpreted this vital piece of information.

The first mention of extroverts and introverts came in his book Psychologische Typen, or in English, “Psychological Types.” But while Carl Jung detailed how these personality types were different, he also made sure to stress the fact that no person is 100% introverted or 100% extroverted, and that such hypothetical people would classify as mentally unstable. This is an important point, and it reveals that everyone probably has a mixture of both introverted and extroverted traits within them.
