The Top Six Myths About Introverts

“If you’re reading this, chances are you’re an extrovert. Upwards of 65 percent of registered financial advisors working on the retail level are extroverts, according to estimates by a number of social scientists. But what about your clients?”

Myth #1 – Introverts are shy

Fact: Shyness has nothing to do with being an introvert. Extroverts can be shy, too. Introverts are not necessarily afraid of people. What they need is a good reason to interact. Extroverts sometimes interact for the sake of interacting.

 

Myth #2 – Introverts always want to be alone
