The two attitudes

The way in which each function manifests in the psychology of the individual depends on the characteristic attitude adopted by him or her. Whereas the extravert is oriented primarily to events in the outer world, the introvert is primarily concerned with the inner world. Typically, the extravert has ‘an outgoing, candid and accommodating nature that adapts easily to a given situation, quickly forms attachments, and, setting aside any possible misgivings, will often venture forth with careless confidence into unknown situations’. The introvert, on the other hand, has ‘a hesitant, reflective, retiring nature that keeps itself to itself, shrinks from objects, is always slightly on the defensive and prefers to hide behind mistrustful scrutiny’ (CW VII, para. 43).
