My mum has always maintained that you can easily pick an introvert out of a crowd.
She believes that in public, extroverts are constantly looking at everything, they keep their heads held high. Whereas introverts naturally walk with their eyes stuck to the ground, appearing deep in thought.
She's always used my granddad and my brother as an example. Now, granted, they are both introverts, but so am I. I'm constantly seeking out new information, getting lost in the beauty of nature etc. I need to feed my Ne. And I know other introverts who walk around staring at everything too.
Basically, I don't agree with her generalization. So:
1) Have any of you heard this theory before?
2) How do you function in public and does is it relate to the I/E difference?
3) Is my mum talking out of her ass? :crazy:
