As the image above explains, extroverts are typically more outgoing, more comfortable in group settings and more likely to “think aloud.” Introverts, meanwhile, are thoughtful individuals who tend to be “private emotionally.” They’re usually more reserved as well.
Notably, introverts may have some advantages over extroverts in the workplace. Google career coach Jenny Blake tells CNBC that people with quieter personalities “have great one-on-one conversations,” which can lead to “deep relationships.”
“You don’t have to be outgoing to make great connections at work,” Blake says.
But both extroverts and introverts can be wildly successful in business. According to CAS, famous extroverts include President Donald Trump, Apple’s Steve Wozniak and Microsoft’s Bill Gates. Notable introverts include Microsoft’s Paul Allen, Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and Berkshire Hathaway’s Warren Buffett.
