About four years ago, Kerry Sturgill found herself at a career crossroads: Should she stay in an industry populated by extroverts(外向型的人) or jump ship to a more reflective place where introverts like her were in the majority?
Career counselors had told her to get out of the highly extroverted public relations fields " so you can be happy and do what you are. " Among the less fast-paced areas they pointed to: art, scientific research, data analysis.
Such a move is definitely the right road for many introverts struggling to fit into an extroverted workplace.
So, just what is an introvert anyway? It’s someone who is energized by thought and reflection, while extroverts are energized by socializing. Introverts naturally need to think before they speak. Extroverts use the speaking process to figure out what it is they want to say.
And, needless to say, there are pluses and minuses to both personality types.
Still, in the modern world where as many as two-thirds of the population may be extroverted, those who are the opposite can be misunderstood. They can be seen as antisocial, secretive, even territorial, because they can sometimes try to protect their "space" and quiet.
Workplaces can actually benefit from having both types, says Deborah Barrett, program director of the Rice University MBA communications program.
An introvert herself, she says she has the best of both worlds—working in an environment of professors, who tend towards introversion, yet getting to teach, which calls on her more "out there" skills.
Here’s her advice for those looking to follow the same path:
Make good use of e-mail. If you don’t get to make a point at a loud meeting, send a follow-up email sharing your thoughts.
If you don’t have an office and are easily distracted by ongoing small talk, consider listening to music through headphones. But take care not to make your more sociable neighbors feel rejected.
Sure, she says, if she had moved to a less stimulating environment, that might have "short- circuited a lot of nay pain, but I also believe it would have short-circuited learning what’s made me a much more well-rounded person." Her main lesson?" I don’t have to be an extrovert. I just have to play at being one for an hour. "
According to the career counselors, ______.
