You tend to be philosophical or spiritual in your orientation, rather than materialistic or hedonistic. You dislike small talk. You often describe yourself as creative or intuitive. You dream vividly, and can often recall your dreams the next day. You love music, nature, art, physical beauty. You feel exceptionally strong emotions – sometimes acute bouts of joy, but also sorrow, melancholy, and fear. You process information about your environments – both physical and emotional – unusually deeply. You tend to notice subtleties that others might miss – another person’s shift in mood, say, or a lightbulb burning a touch too brightly…
~Susan Cain, from Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking
