WK2 DISCUSSION1 HP-214

Our personality type may guide us toward our preferred profession. If it were even possible to categorize ourselves as either introverted or extroverted this classification could help direct us. Introverts (or those of us with introverted tendencies) tend to recharge by spending time alone. We lose energy from being around people for long periods, particularly in large crowds. Extroverts, on the other hand, gain energy from other people.
