what's your introvert style?
TRANSCRIPT
Doris Märtin
What`s your introvert style? Thoughtfully aloof? Highly sensitive? Brilliantly nerdy? Or charmingly shy? The new IntroDNA© lets you discover your introvert style www.dorismaertin.de
Every third person is introvert
This influences the way he or she is perceived by others. Most introverts tend to maintain a low profile and come across as more quiet, reserved, private or shy than extroverts.
However, the main difference is elsewhere: Intros and extros have different ways to refuel their energy.
Extroverts recharge by socializing
Introverts need calmness to recharge
What is more:
No two intros are exactly alike. Quietness comes in distinctly different styles »Introverts can be deep thinkers, wonderful listeners, sensitive sophisticates, nerdy geeks or brilliantly shy. Some undervalue and undersell themselves, others quietly turn themselves into start-up millionaires. Glitzy personalities like fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld count themselves among them, as well as modern day princesses like Diana and Kate.« Doris Märtin. Leise gewinnt. So verschaffen sich Introvertierte Gehör. Campus 2014. Page 14
It describes four introvert personality styles.
You will probably easily recognize your primary style. Note, however, that most intros are a unique mix of all four introvert styles.

Masterminds
M-Intros are logical thinkers and often solid and reliable leaders. Main strength: They steer a thoughtful course. Main weakness: M-Intros may come across as distant and aloof.
»Be nice to the nerds. Chances are you‘ll end up working for one.« BILL GATES
Nerds N-Intros are systematic and often highly creative workers in their chosen fields. They know how to think out of the box and come up with surprising solutions. A possible tendency towards Asperger’s syndrome can make them socially awkward.
»Our brain filters superfluous information, dampening our perception. It seems that for me this filter doesn‘t work properly.« FERDINAND VON SCHIRACH, GERMAN NOVELIST AND PUBLIC PROSECUTOR
Supersensitives S-Intros are more open to incoming stimuli than many other people. This makes them extraordinarily aware of nuances and moods. They appreciate all things beautiful and enjoy a complex inner life. Their heightened sensitivity can make them easily frazzled and stressed.
Cocooners C-Intros feel uncomfortable about how they might be judged. Therefore they seek out people they know and trust. Many C-Intros make a conscious effort to blend in. So, their shyness often remains unnoticed and they come across as particularily nice and gentle.
