Not all people are the same, each person has a different personality type which influences how they spend their time, what type of music they prefer and how they recover their energy. The most commonly known forms of these personality types are extroverts and introverts. Extroverts are known for being overly enthusiastic, talkative, and energetic. While introverts are known to be more reserved, quiet and more self-focused. It is also known that the two types get their energy from different places; with extroverts getting energy from social interaction and introverts getting energy from being alone. However, you can ask questions about how these personality traits might influence your communication. The articles I reviewed revealed several reappearing themes regarding extroversion and introversion. The first of these themes is that background noise, particularly television noise and music, negatively influences the memory retention of introverts while having a more positive effect on extroverts. Second, the communication differences between extroverts and introverts can actually complement each other. Third, introverts and extroverts are both aware of how they present themselves, but they do so in different ways. And finally, both introverts and extroverts prefer to communicate with others in different ways; especially when it comes to communicating virtually. Background noise is believed to aid memory retention while studying or working on a project. The first theme finds that while this may be accurate for some personality traits, it is not the universal truth. Introverts have been shown to perform worse in situations where high levels of background noise are heard. (Furnham,...... half of the paper......
