Are You an Introvert or an Extrovert?

Communication

According to a study published in the Journal of Language and Social Psychology, introverts and extroverts speak differently. When researchers asked participants describe what was happening in different photos, they found that introverts were more precise in their descriptions. Extroverts had a tendency to speak more abstractly. Another study published in the International Journal of Research Studies in Language Studies found that extroverts were more likely to excel at learning another language because they are more likely to engage in conversation both inside and outside the classroom.
