I myself am an extrovert and know there are certain things that I will never be able to do such as coming up with new and innovative ideas. If there is one thing I can do, it is talk to people, motivate them and execute ideas. I agree with this video because it does take two different people with different qualities to really make something great! I would love to be able to find someone with a great idea who will put in the work and time and allow me to build something great for them.

Absolutely agree that introverts and extroverts compliment each other. Extroverts are sometimes the voice to the introverts, and introverts are sometimes the brain behind the extroverts. Extroverts, in my opinion, seem to be extremely cocky, loud, and extremely competitive. These are the people we see at the head of major corporations. These are the flashy ones. The introverts are the subtle and quiet ones. They let their work, performance, and numbers speak for itself. The introverts do not need to be loud, and heard all the time. However, in some way, everyone knows who they are.

The message of the video was well said. Moreover in my opinion I don't think the world will ever value introverts and extroverts the same. Extroverts speaks up and rightfully so their the one who gets the attention. More so many people adapt their personality to fit the environment and line between introverts are becoming increasingly skewed. Moreover, the person who talks the most isn't always right about some and until someone challenges that person it's pretty much going to remain the same.

I think that this was a really good video. The loudest person in a meeting will get there ideas and thoughts out more then the quiet one. Filling in the gaps is what needs to happen. I think companies and organizations should get ideas from all employees through intervert and entravert. this will allow all people to take part and have a voice.

one of my favorite videos yet! sheds great light on the idea of extroverts vs introverts. the loudest person in the room, is usually not the smartest. although we derive so much value in extroversion, we should stop and think about the strength of the two opposites. although an extrovert can be an amazing motivator another, many times they need someone to come up with some amazing ideas for them. granted introverts are intelligent, but spend more time socializing. what you do is what you are. kinda thing

I have aways been an extrovert, very loud, and very enthusiastic. This does not mean however that I do not know when to sit back and listen. I agree with the video that not everyone who speaks the loudest has the greatest idea. If anything, I believe that those who sit back, soak up all the information around them, and give their ideas time to grow and prosper while remaining quiet tend to have the best ideas.

I've never taken the time to really think about this concept. It is true that introverts and extroverts are attracted to each other. When a extroverts craves attention, they get it from people who don't try and take over their territory. While on the opposite side, introverts secretly strive to be friends with those charasmatic types as such, the extrovert. Both sides need each other.

Being a management major, we have learned early in our education that the most effective teams are ones that are diversely put together. It comes as no surprise that the best teams are comprised of both, introverts and extroverts. What does come at a surprise is the amount of times this get overlooked by the manager in charge. There needs to be a diverse group of people so that different ideas can flow through different perspectives in order to achieve a common goal.

I think this is a very good video comparing introverts and extroverts. I think the only problem I have with this video is that as an extrovert I can honestly say that I am always the one in groups to come up with ideas and be able to pull ideas out of people as well. I think that most of the time it takes an extrovert to pull good ideas out of introverts because they are so reserved and not willing to share their ideas for whatever reason.

I associate myself with being more introverted than extraverted. I tend to do my best work while alone, in a quite place, with no distractions. I am not so introverted where I avoid conversations with individuals, but I do tend to avoid scenarios of myself in front of large audiences. I always thought that extraverts where going to get ahead in life, but this video put it into perspective for me. Extraverts and introverts need each other and can play off of each others strengths.

I found this video very interesting. You never really hear people talking about the benefits of someone being an introvert. Most people think that it's better to be outgoing and talkative. However the video shined a light on the advantages of both personalities. Everyone has heard of Steve Jobs and attributes him to Apple, but not everyone always remembers that Apple was actually started by Steve Wozniak. It takes a combination of both personalities in the world to make a business successful, or anything successful for that matter. There is no wrong or right personality.

Well, I must say this was a very interesting video. I had no idea that Steve Jobs was not the actual inventor of the apple computer. I don't know why I thought he was. Now that I am thinking about it, I think it makes perfect sense that an extravert and an introvert make a great team. I don't think that I am too much one or the other, but I think I am more of an introvert than an extrovert so I will have to keep in mind to look for the opposite when trying to find a partner in my future.

From this video it teaches a valuable lesson that one doesn't has to be the loudest or has to verbal express what they are feeling to be successful. I've learn that you can learn a lot by being quiet and observing your surroundings in life. Sometime you see more by being quiet because it gives you time to examine facts and also helps you to become a good listener in observing details and facts. sometime you can prove more by just being observant and learning.

I liked this video. I sometimes can be extroverted or introverted depending on my environment. When I am not as loud or outspoken I think that I should be and feel kind of bad for not speaking up or speaking out about a particular topic. This video shows me that it is absolutely okay to be quiet at times. It helps me understand that there is a happy medium between being outspoken and not having much to say at all.

I really enjoyed the video and how it identifies the fact that it is not always the "loudest" most charismatic person that has the great idea. Often times it is that very quiet introvert. I love surrounding myself with people that others overlook, but I see the potential in their magnificentness as the wheels are turning in their minds. I know that I am not the smartest... that is not my strength. I am smart when it comes to having the right people around me so that I can build on their greatness, that often they don't even know. Now this does not mean I steal their glory or don't acknowledge them, that's one of the reasons I was a successful manager is that any awards received were shared with those who got me there.
