Abstract
This paper details the profound personality differences between introverts and extroverts. The writer of this paper contends that while it is common knowledge that extroverts are more outgoing than introverts, there are significant differences in situations and environments which are intentionally sought out by extroverts, which is explored in this paper. This paper examines Hans Eysenck's theory regarding the differences in individual personalities, which the psychologist contends develop due to specific biological differences in the individual. This paper delves into Eysenck's opinion that an introvert's nervous system differs greatly from that of an extrovert's. Eysenck contends that an introvert's nervous system is more easily aroused than that of an extrovert's. This paper discusses various case studies conducted on both introverted and extroverted individuals as well as presenting the results of the studies.
From the Paper
"In 1982, researchers Campbell and Hawley performed a study confirming Eysenck's theory, regarding the tendency of introverts and extraverts to prefer different environments. Their study of students revealed that extraverted students preferred open, noisy areas of a college library to study in, where they had opportunities to socialize with others. In contrast, the introverted students chose secluded areas of the library, often hidden by tall bookcases, so that they could work in solitude. These findings supported Eysenck's theory that those that scored higher on the extraversion scale would be more attracted to areas of the environment with higher stimulation, than those who scored higher on the introversion scale."

From the Paper
"Ratih (2002) states the extrovert's level of self-confidence, talkativeness and attention seeking behavior will lead the extrovert to dominate discussion groups, classes or professional meetings. This can be seen as both an advantage and disadvantage depending on the situation. If in a business setting, other group members or others attending a meeting are reticent for one reason or another to come forward with ideas, the extrovert will likely voice his thoughts and move the topic ahead, often choosing a course of action, driving things forward in a dynamic manner, having a strong persuasive style ("Discussion online," 2003)."

Abstract
The paper looks at the Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator that indicates that introverts usually have quality software development skills. The paper discusses how introverts dominate the software field, but the field also needs extroverts to help explain the programs and make them user friendly. The paper shows how the best way to create software is to use a team of both introverted and extroverted personality types.
From the Paper
"Most people see software engineers as nerds who work long hours into the night until they complete their projects. "USA Today reported that the techie nerd stereotype is so well-entrenched that students in every grade ranked computer jobs near the bottom of their lists of career choice" (McConnell). Yet, is this an accurate view of a computer technician? Does the Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) accurately show professional software developers? These are important questions when it comes to studying personality types in software engineering compared to the national average and success of those in other fields."

The Sloppy Extrovert, 2008.
This paper explores the natures of introverts and extroverts based on the article "Caring for Your Introvert" by Jonathan Rauch.

Abstract
The paper discusses Rauch's article "Caring for Your Introvert" where the author describes the personality of introverts and extroverts. The paper then looks at the ideas of Suzanne Britt, who made her own categorization on the opposing personalities and labeled introverts as neat and extroverts as sloppy. The paper reveals that sloppy extroverts have the upper hand since society considers being outgoing normal and therefore desirable and a mark of happiness and confidence.
From the Paper
"Know thyself...love thyself are common axioms heard often. In understanding ourselves, we either look deep within or mirror others to who we are. Psychologists, sociologists and psychiatrists study people's personalities in the context of being individuals or in a group setting, but their studies oftentimes are too clinical or too detached to be really appreciated. Although if we put a bit of humor in these scientific studies, we may at least get the lighter side of personas and personalities, and be aware of whom we really are. Two distinct personalities are the introvert and the extrovert - extremes in every way and make."

Abstract
The paper examines research on the subject of personality and effective leadership styles and identifies settings in which certain personality types flourish. The paper discusses personality traits which can be mistaken for extroversion, such as hypomania, and attempts to make a clear definition of leadership. The paper presents the hypothesis that an extroverted person is more likely to succeed as a leader than an introverted person. The paper concludes from the research, however, that this hypothesis can not be substantiated.

From the Paper
"What makes an excellent leader? Does effective leadership stem from the combination of the right person and the right situation, or can an individual mold his or herself into a leader if given the right tools. Are there some personalities which are innately better at leadership? I believe that there are certain types of personality who will succeed in a leadership position. There are many types of personality, but for this study, I plan to research the extraverted personality."

"Appearance is a powerful correlate affecting how a person is perceived by others, and there is significant data to suggest that persons who are viewed as having a more attractive physical appearance are perceived in a more positive manner than persons who are less attractive (Kniffen & Wilson, 2004). Assessment of appearance, however, is highly subjective and is believed to be influenced by a wide number of variables in the eyes of the perceiver; variables include a person's influences (Silver & Parente, 2004), environmental development (Kniffen & Wilson, 2004), race and ethnicity (Wade et al, 2004), and desired outcomes such as perceived credibility (Masip et al, 2004)."

The Superior Leader, 2007.
An analysis of the personality traits of a superior leader.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the traits that a leader should possess in order to be a superior leader. It begins by presenting a description of a fictitious leader and then analyzing the characteristics that he shows. The paper discusses introverted and extroverted personalities, looks at various theories of personality and analyzes where the fictitious superior leader fits in to the descriptions.
From the Paper
"It is evident that the two traits of high ethical standards and balance within the mental arena of the individual's mind are important for the identification of a superior leader. This is because these traits only can be apparent when the individual is a self-assured and balanced human being that is capable of inner peace, which allows this person to completely focus on the people within his country. Other leaders that may be inundated with personal issues or matters of ethics may not be superior leaders. However, because of these qualities in the fictitious leader, the man is capable of leading his fellow countrymen with dignity and self-confidence that will assist him in making the right decisions that will benefit everyone."

Carl Jung and 9/11, 2006.
An explanation of 9/11 in the eyes of Carl Jung.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article the author looks at the events of 9/11 and its aftermath through the eyes of Carl Jung. He examines how Jung would have reacted to the events of 9/11. He points out that Jung believed very strongly in coincidence. But, would he have thought that 9/11 was a coincidence, something hidden in the collective unconsciousness. Maybe the unconscious beliefs of government officials, the CIA and FBI who knew that there was something going to happen, but didn't know when or where or even how. The paper goes on to describe how Jung would have categorized the different reactions of the American people after 9/11 in his terms of introvert and extrovert personalities. The author examines the different archetypes that Jung proposed in terms of 9/11. The paper concludes with the statement that even Jung would have not have been able to explain the "why?" of the terrorist attacks and what they hoped to accomplish.
From the Paper
"Jung dreamt a great deal about the dead, the land of the dead, and the rising of the dead. These represented the unconscious itself -- not the "little" personal unconscious that Freud made such a big deal out of, but a new collective unconscious of humanity itself. It would be interesting to assume that the thousands who died at the World Trade Center, the Pennsylvania field and at the Pentagon were somehow part of a Jungian dream. But, while we might think of Freud and Jung as seeing psychosis in dreams, Jung was more realistic. "Jung felt that, if you want to understand the jungle, you can't be content just to sail back and forth near the shore. You've got to get into it, no matter how strange and frightening it might seem" (Boeree 1)."

Abstract
The phenomena of parents? involvement at their children?s schools has intensified over the recent years, and it seems that the tendency will increase in the future. The school principal, because of his role, training, and status, has to lead, determine, and guide the parental cooperation to the proper channels. His role is decisive regarding the quality of the dialogue with the parents. This research examines the connection between the principal?s managerial style and personality and his stands and policies regarding parental involvement, in general, and the desirable and actual parental involvement at his school. The research assumption is that principals who employ different managerial styles and possess different personality structures will relate differently to parental involvement. The principal who practices a considerate managerial style or has an extroverted personality will encourage parental involvement, while the task-oriented principal with a ?neurotic? or ?psychotic? personality structure will oppose parental involvement. In addition, the writer determines that the principal?s general attitude towards parental involvement will be more positive than his stand regarding the desired parental involvement in specific areas and the actual parental involvement at his school. The more positive the principal?s stand towards parental involvement in specific areas, the more involved are the parents. This paper also includes several tables.

From the Paper
"The phenomena of parental involvement in the Israeli educational system has intensified over the recent years, as is indicated by the daily newspapers, educational and social researches, and by the attempts of the educational institutions to guide the parental involvement into normative channels. One of the factors of the process consists of the meaningful changes in the educational system, the most notable of which is the tendency towards the school?s increasing autonomy. (Kamanda, 1985) The educational system was unable to successfully address the variety of educational needs in an increasingly pluralistic society, whose different sectors disagree about the purposes of education. The recognition of the disagreements led to the demand for the decentralization of the educational system. (Inbar, 1987) As the educational system became more decentralized the roles of the functionaries and their authorities had to be redefined, and increased parental involvement became possible."

Emily Bront??s ?Wuthering Heights?, 2004.
This paper discusses Emily Bront??s ?Wuthering Heights?, a novel demonstrating fragmentation through separation.

Abstract
This paper explains that Emily Bront??s novel, ?Wuthering Heights?, is a work of contrasts, such as masculine versus feminine, the introvert versus the extrovert, and power over passivity. The author points out that the female desiring power in a patriarchal environment contrasts sharply with a male?s desire for the civilizing effect of culture. The paper relates, in detail, the portrayal of Catherine and Heathcliff as two sides of one being, which assists the reader in the discovery that "Wuthering Heights" is not a love story in the usual style.
From the Paper
"Heathcliff?s side is introversion. From the point of his introduction into the Height?s household, the boy is described as gibbering and unable to communicate. From this can be seen that the boy, however objectionable, is isolated. His initial treatment at the hands of Mrs. Earnshaw and the children heightens this isolation, and he becomes ostracized. Even Nelly Dean, the servant, refers to the child as ?it? and describes him as a ?sullen, patient child? (22). Heathcliff doesn?t seem to react to either emotional or physical bullying. Hindley repeatedly attacks him, but Heathcliff does not react. Rather he internalizes his reactions. He is pushed under the hooves of a horse and bears this with silence and coolness. Nelly mistakenly reads this reaction as being proof that the child is not vindictive, but later finds this not to be the case (23). The child has internalized and introverted his anger, not in order to diffuse it, but to store and hone it for later use."

Abstract
Introverted Sensing Thinking Judging (ISTJ)
From the Paper
"And I really like Kroeger and Thuesen's "typewatching" idea, because we all have to live together, we are a country of many diverse ethnic types, and so why not try to approach each other with dignity, respect, and understanding of differences? That's how I was brought up to live, and the more I see and hear and understand how violent and chaotic this world has become, the more I want to be a good and generous friend and colleague to everyone as much as I possibly can be. A scary statistic is brought up on page 8 of Type Talk at Work; the fact that $150 billion is lost each year by American companies because of stress in the workplace (people take time off or fail to be efficient on the job). And it also sent shivers down my spine to read (8) that surveys show 43 percent of U.S. workers say "lying, putting on a false face, and doing whatever it takes to make a buck" is ok. I am not that way at all. "

Isolation and Compassion in "Bartleby, the Scrivener", 2008.
An analysis of the themes of isolation and compassion in Herman Melville's short story "Bartleby, the Scrivener".

Abstract
This paper examines the themes of isolation and compassion evident in Herman Melville's parable "Bartleby, the Scrivener". It asserts that the story not only deals with human behaviour, but also with moral issues. The paper points out that Bartleby is an odd, but hard working introvert, hired by a lawyer to copy out legal documents, a job he appeared to do well. However, his refusal to take on any tasks that were outside of his job description, without explanation, led to frustration among the office clerks and a feeling of disbelief from the lawyer. The paper holds that Bartleby's quiet, isolated and non-conforming nature troubled the lawyer. The paper concludes that, according to Melville's parable, one has the choice to make decisions in one's own interests, or one may do what is expected in order to avoid conflict amongst those one cares about.
From the Paper
"The theme of isolation and compassion are evident in Herman Melville's parable "Bartleby, the Scrivener". Melville begins his "Story of Wall -Street" with comical portraits of the main characters, such as, the "unambitious" lawyer, who was also the narrator of the story, his 3 clerks; Nippers, Turkey, and Ginger Nut, along with the socially outcast scrivener, Bartleby. "Bartleby, the Scrivener" not only deals with human behaviour, but also equally deals with moral issues. It is a story involving the lives of many characters who each struggled for an identity and purpose. Bartleby an odd, but hard working introvert, was hired by the lawyer to copy out legal documents, a job he appeared to do well. However, he refused to take on any tasks that were outside of his job description, without explanation, which led to frustration among the office clerks and a feeling of disbelief from the lawyer. It was Bartleby's quiet, isolated and non-conforming nature that troubled the lawyer. Although the lawyer was influenced and felt pressured to remain dedicated to his duties, it was compassion that confounded him and made his decision extremely difficult, resulting in a tragic and crippling feeling of emptiness and brokenness."

Two Stories: Authors Packer and Becker.
This paper compares Ann Packer?s short story, ?Horse?, and Geoffrey Becker?s ?El Diablo de la Cienega?.

Abstract
The paper explains that Victor, from ?Geoffrey Becker?s ?El Diablo de la Cienega?, who is a young star basketball player, and Elizabeth, from Ann Packer?s ?Horse?, who is an introverted, bookish young woman excelling in reading, are both individualists who, in different ways, excel in solitary pursuits. The author of the paper points out that the authors of both stories balance the inner and outer life of the protagonists in different ways, depending on the protagonist?s gender and maturity; but ultimately, both of these solitary people must come to grips with both their larger world and their developing senses of self. The paper states that Victor and Elizabeth both are driven to close, yet highly conflicted relationships with their surviving mothers because of their status as children in single-parent families.
From the Paper
"Elizabeth?s perceived gifts in reading, furthermore, are not admired as unequivocally as are Victor?s have upon her psyche. Victor sees himself confidently as a gifted athlete, while Elizabeth sees her body as inadequate to the demands of the game she has chosen to prove herself at. Thus the game functions differently in the narrator?s perceptions, the structure of the tale?s evolution in a linear or a more discursive fashion, and also in terms of whether the character sees the structure of the game as frustrating, as in the case of Elizabeth, or holding the potential for salvation or damnation, as does Victor. The competitive crux of the game-narrative in ?Horse? also takes place off-stage, because it is less central to the character?s positive development, as opposed to the more physical Victor and the more physical life of the young male protagonist, in ?El Diablo de la Cienega? where the game is the story, in essence."

Abstract
This paper explains that the emotional condition of the individual social worker can be understood as being directly related to the professional?s job satisfaction, which is no longer understood to result from a monetarily successful practice or other extrinsic factors that affect the social worker. The author points out that the nature of human service occupations often attracts people who are empathetic, sensitive, and tend to be people-oriented, but also who are anxious, introverted, and overenthusiastic. The paper reports that the cross-design research will break the surveyed population into groups by age and gender demographics and will attempt to identify common experiences, factors, and perceptions, which affect the appearance of burnout in the professional?s career path.

"Burnout, on the other hand, is defined as a negative psychological experience that is a reaction of workers to job-related stress. Burnout refers to a cluster of physical, emotional, and interactional symptoms, including but not limited to emotional exhaustion, a sense of lacking personal accomplishment. This condition often results in the professional depersonalizing clients their clients, and detaching from the lists of emotional and psycho-social needs which clients bring into their office each day. Burnout symptoms also can include physical symptoms, emotional exhaustion, depression, or other serious emotional dysfunction. Recurrent bouts of flu, headaches, fatigue, poor self-esteem, difficulty in interpersonal relationships, substance abuse, inability to concentrate, rigidity, and tendency to blame clients for their problems can appear singularly, or in combination as evidence of burnout."

Dickinson's Place in New England Literary Tradition, 2005.
A discussion on Emily Dickinson's place in the literary tradition of the New England region.

Abstract
This paper looks at why it is difficult to place the writings of Emily Dickinson in a specific literary tradition and what factors make this placement difficult. The paper considers why Dickinson was so introverted, what in her life and writing should be used to connect her to a literary tradition, and to whom should the connection be drawn.
From the Paper
"Dickinson's outright rejection of everything conventional rang with the same notes as the crescendo of feminism that was building among middle class women in the 1850s. She refused to subjugate herself to the institution of marriage, she battled pressure to join the church, and she corresponded openly with notable figures of academia. It is certain that the feminist movement would have greatly appreciated, and benefited from Dickinson's voice. Her education and natural boldness made her prime feminist material. The match, however, never grew any more potent than those conveniences. Thought she sought to achieve greatness, Dickinson's reclusive nature would have prevented her from being interested in participating in movements of that nature. In fact, there is sufficient evidence to suggest that Dickinson had no particular loyalty to her sex."
