CASE SUMMARY
Personality of a person plays a crucial role in determining individual attitude towards life
and different situations. According to Reardon MacLellan, (2011), personality can be termed as
dynamic concept which presents psychological system of a person which is reflected in
individual growth and development.
The case discusses about power of quiet which is true in case of person who is labelled as
introvert. As per the views of Robbins et.al., (2013), social desirability is one aspect on the basis
which person is labelled as extravert or introvert. Susan Cain presented three arguments in her
bestselling books Quiet.
First arguments is about people like, individual see themselves as extraverts because
these kind of people are known of shaping environment according to own wish. Introvert is
personality type which is undesirable and therefore regardless of nature, people reflects it as
extravert because the people enjoy different task, group working and exploring different level of
learning. Second argument states that introversion is driven underground. In accordance to this,
people are forced to the quiet. This is also known as closet introverts where people of this
personality type are forced to be quiet as per social structures and norms. Third argument is
about extraversion which is not at all cracked up because introverts are suppressed. As per this it
is outlined that introverts face the world distress. For example, when choosing a leader when
working in group the introverts are overlooked.
Thus, it is presented that Susan Cain is not an anti- extravert but she states that we need
to value and encourage people for their abilities and not on the basis of judgement. The people
who look quiet and calm may be in mind the individuals are solving problems and this is the
power of quiet which is not valued.
