Total rewrite?

I have put the old article back for the time being, because I believe it is more informative that the minimalist description that replaced it. In order to avoid a potential edit war, perhaps we can all work together to not only produce an article that satisfies everyone, but is also better and more informative than both of them.

Yes, total rewrite

  • I agree that it needs to be totally rewritten which is what I started doing (before you reverted it). The entire premise of the revision you reverted to is incorrect...The word is also used informally to refer to somebody who prefers solitary activities to social ones. Let's stick to the facts and see if we can get some public domain/fair use quotes from Jung, who coined the terms circa. 1913. Please, don't even get me started on the extrovert article...Extroverts also tend to have more sexual partners in the course of their life than introverts, though this isn't to say that all extroverts are promiscuous. Reading that really made me mad to be honest. There is no truth to it.

Heh, hey don't be mad, I agree that was out of line, but I think overall the old articles contained more information. I suggest we come up with a basic layout for a new article, you know, something like, 1. A basic overview of the term, it's origins, etc, 2. What introversion/Extroversion is, with quotes and information from Jung and possibly others, 3. What introversion/extroversion isn't, 4. External links, or something of similar form. In the meantime, feel free to put your version of the article back up.PiccoloNamek 23:02, Oct 13, 2004 (UTC)

    • I'm fine with that. I won't have Psychological Types back until ~Tuesday so I can't work on it until then. Also..lots of bad information != better information...

Is there some biological theory on why people are introverted or extroverted? If so, it seems like it should be included.194.47.121.113 19:56, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

This is an excellent article on introversion, I found it hugely informative. Anybody re-writing the introvert page should take a look at this. It states that introverts and extroverts use their brains differently but gives no details, this would be something to investigate. shockeroo @ 18:19, Nov 12th 2005
