Description
Book Introduction
Creative, empathetic, and quietly charismatic.
For all the introverts in the world
There was a time when extroverted personalities were preferred.
A quiet personality was considered inadequate or unfamiliar, and many people even considered changing themselves into an extrovert.
But today, the new talent that's gaining traction is introverts who are creative, empathetic, and possess a quiet charisma that allows them to persuade others.
In her book, "The Introvert's Secret to Being Alone," author Doris Mertin systematically illuminates the hidden strengths of introverts.
Through various case studies and research results, we introduce common characteristics found in successful introverts.
The introDNAⓒ test introduced in this book divides introverted tendencies into four types, and identifies how each type demonstrates their quietness.
Furthermore, by suggesting strategies and implementation methods suited to each individual's personality, it guides introverts to establish themselves in society without losing their voice, emphasizing that "quietness" can soon become a new competitive edge.

Into the book
The concept of 'introversion' was first used in the 1920s by Swiss psychoanalyst Carl Gustav Jung.
Jung defined those whose behavioral patterns are directed outward as 'extraverted', and those whose behavioral patterns are directed inward as 'introverted'.
And then he gave one clue.
Introversion and extroversion, these two
The point was that no one is completely one of these two, and that we all have both tendencies, just in different proportions.
Accordingly, Jung split the two factors of extroversion and introversion into different types and proposed a model with a total of eight types.
Four of them were more extroverted, and the remaining four were more introverted.
--- p.21, from “Part 1 There are many introverts in the world: Not all introverts are the same.”
To be successful in your work and interpersonal relationships, you need to be able to push your ideas through within your team, build the necessary connections, and negotiate in your favor.
Also, the more you want to succeed in your field, the more you need to know how to stimulate the emotions as well as the intellect of the other person.
For example, you should be able to convey your human side through actions such as holding hands and shaking hands, and you should be able to subtly convey things like your personality and character through various other opportunities.
Dominant introverts are true masters of this field.
Because they do these things automatically without much effort, and because they know all too well that very little can be accomplished without interaction.
--- p.70-71, from “Part 1 There are many introverts in the world: Everyone has potential introversion.”
For introverts, family is a beautiful group of people who bring me happiness, but it also means burden and stress.
For example, caring for children requires constant attention, constant exposure to noise, and the constant need to answer questions.
Sometimes, your child's friends will sleep over at your house, and there are countless other people your child needs to meet and events they need to attend.
Excuses like, “I’m sorry, but I can’t attend that event because I’m an introvert” won’t work.
Because these are expectations that parents must meet.
If I let that expectation down, I might end up seeing my beloved child being bullied.
--- p.154, from “Part 2 Introverts Are Never Weak: Love and Friendship Require Effort”
Sensitive and reclusive introverts are far from standing out from the crowd.
While some people step forward, make plans, set grand goals, and compete to show off, the sensitive and reclusive types quietly plan behind the scenes, don't shy away from hard work, and quietly do the dirty work.
For these two types, what matters is rich content, careful concept, and perfect results, not a battle for status or position.
Unfortunately, in the business world, that kind of attitude is not something you can just stick to.
A quiet refrigerator or vacuum cleaner is good because it's quiet, not a hard worker.
To promote and sell the results of your hard work, you need to know how to "talk."
--- p.208-209, from “Part 2 Introverts Are Never Weak: Images Are Made.”
The different behavioral patterns of extroverts and introverts are innate.
While extroverts who brag or exaggerate their work results might seem incredibly repulsive to introverts, it's certainly not the case that extroverts do this to get ahead of introverts.
They just act that way instinctively, according to their innate nature.
It's the same reason why introverts don't hide their abilities to appear humble.
Introverts, by their innate nature, simply focus more on the work itself than on self-promotion.
Now that you understand these basic differences, let's take some steps to work better with extroverts.

Publisher's Review
A Social Rethinking of Introversion
While our society has traditionally favored sociable, outgoing, and self-expressive individuals, this book offers a more balanced perspective, highlighting the unique values and strengths of introverts.
It also highlights the reality that quiet employees are often undervalued or misunderstood in corporate environments, encouraging leaders and colleagues to foster a culture that understands and cares for introverts.
It can also play a crucial role in strengthening self-esteem and establishing self-expression styles for introverted readers by helping them realize that "quietness is never a weakness, but rather a competitive advantage."
Case-based explanations applicable to real life
Through the case studies of various successful introverted figures, including politicians, entrepreneurs, and artists, readers can easily relate to and apply the book to themselves, and by emphasizing the complementary relationship between introverts and extroverts, the book presents a more comprehensive and harmonious understanding of humanity.
also.
Beyond individual psychological analysis, the strengths of introversion in leadership situations (calm stability, careful judgment, maximizing the potential of subordinates) were highlighted, increasing their utility in corporate and organizational life.
A unique model called "introDNA" is presented as a type-specific method to maximize the potential of introverts.
The author provides scientific credibility by analyzing the differences between introverts and extroverts based on research in the fields of linguistics, psychology, and communication.
Rather than defining introversion as a single personality trait, we categorize it into four distinct introverted styles, providing a concrete and practical tool for self-understanding.
① Dominant introvert: Has excellent observation skills and runs his career and family based on cool logic.
Once a goal is set, it is achieved without fail, and because of their strong sense of responsibility, they often take on leadership roles.
Thanks to his calm and thoughtful actions and judgment, he is also recognized by those around him.
Introverts who are proactive are well-suited to jobs that involve problem solving and analysis.
Recommended careers include politics, management, medicine, accounting, law, and administration.
Representative figures include Barack Obama and Angela Merkel.
② Sensitive introvert: They are good at empathizing with others and have an excellent ability to intuitively judge the feelings and situations of those around them.
He has extraordinary cognitive abilities and has the talent to catch things that people just pass by.
Sensitive introverts are creative and therefore well-suited for careers such as curators, interior designers, florists, copywriters, and fashion designers.
This type likes to decide their own work schedule and environment, so the percentage of self-employed people is overwhelmingly higher than other types.
Representative figures include Joan K.
Rowling, Thomas Mann, etc.
③ Unusual introvert: They are well-versed in their own field, but are relatively unfamiliar with other aspects of social life and interpersonal relationships.
This type lives by their own rules, but they don't attach much importance to the standards and limits set by others.
Atypical introverts like to delve into complex tasks slowly, taking their time.
You also enjoy questioning and researching things. This type of person is surprisingly suited to careers beyond IT, such as comedians, satirists, and cartoonists.
Representative figures include Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, and Alfred Hitchcock.
④ Reclusive introvert: They have a strong fear of strangers and unfamiliar situations, so they feel most comfortable when they are with a few close friends.
Once they settle down in a place, whether it's home or work, they don't want to leave easily and tend to take good care of those around them.
Reclusive introverts prefer jobs that involve helping or serving others.
That is why there are many of this type in the medical and health fields, human resource development, education, and counseling and consulting fields.
Representative figures include Prince William, Kate Middleton, and director Sofia Coppola.
