Introverts are collectors of thoughts, and solitude is where the collection is curated and rearranged to make sense of the present and future.

If you ask an introvert a question, wait until she thinks about it. Introverts think before speaking, not through speaking. If you want to get to the good stuff, you need to slow down.

Whatever kind of introvert you are, some people will find you 'too much' in some ways and 'not enough' in others.

With public speaking, practicing congruence is very helpful - allowing the words to be expressed with the face and body. It helps to think of simply "turning up the nonverbal volume."

I am rarely bored alone; I am often bored in groups and crowds.

When a quiet introvert talks, heads turn, and that's power.

Some findings reveal extroverts as more adept at reading nonverbal cues, and attribute this to the extrovert's greater interest and experience with social interactions. Another line of research using subliminal images of facial emotion found introverts to be more sensitive to the differences, and hypothesized that this may be why introverts regulate the amount of incoming social information.
