Definition

Personality trait characterized by a reserved attitude, shyness, and a preference for solitude and independence. Introverted people need privacy and intimacy. They tend to remain in the background in debates, participating very little in meetings, preferring to work alone, and spending more time with themselves than with others. They adapt easily to monotonous, routine tasks or those requiring precision or sustained attention. They like quiet places, away from hustle and bustle and other people, avoiding excessively noisy or overly stimulating situations. They are more unhurried, calm, and relaxed people, although a combination of this with other personality traits, such as emotional instability, which increases the sensitivity of the neuronal mechanisms involved in developing/learning fear, may result in anxiety, sadness, or fear of speaking in public.
