Extroversion:
· focused on demands and objective nature of outside world rather than on one’s subjective ties with outside world
This seems like a rather inadequate definitition, as feelers, whom estimate things through the method of defining what is "good" and what is "bad", at least when healthy, seem to function through a very subjective manner. Take for example extraverted feelers, whom generally assume the nature of things while projecting their own opinions upon the object of reference as it is truth. This is obviously a subjective behaviour which should be noted as evidence that the extroversion/introversion scale is not wholy about objectivity and subjectivity.
· perceives world as objects that can be taken apart, studied, known, and compared to each other
Introverted thinkers don't?
· feel responsible for events happening around them and actively influence situations
Introverted feelers don't?
· objects are unchanging, ties between objects are changeable; changes interaction between objects to better fit qualities of objects
I'm pretty sure when one's perceptiosn of the ties between two objects changes that one's perspective of the object itself changes.
And introversion:
· focused on one’s ties with and subjective perception of outside world rather than outside world itse
I believe this is better defined as "focused on one's ties with and thoroughly sifted through perception of the outside world."
However, it should be noted that I am NOT making the claim that introverts think MORE, or more COMPLEX then do extraverts, but simply that introverts tend to dawdle upon a certain topic of any sort of nature then do extraverts.
· perceives world as ties/relationships between objects and comes to know objects by knowing their ties to other objects
Extraverted inuitiers, most especially irrtaional extraverted inuiters, don't?
· ties are unchanging, qualities of object are changeable; adapts qualities of objects to better fit their relationships
This is down right silly. If the qualities of an object changes, then so does its relationships between other objects!
· care for quality of their own and others’ psychological field (nature of interaction between subject and outside world)
Huh? And Extraverted feelers don't?
I believe the only difference between introverts and extraverts is that introverts tend to muddle around in certain trains of thoughts longer then extraverts, and recieve new information less readily then extraverts, whom thrive of new incoming information, most especially if the information is coming QUICKLY rather then simply IN BULK.
