Man of thought
Introverts
Introvertsmay have strong social skills and enjoy parties and business meetings, but after a while wish they were home in their pajamas. They prefer to devote their social energies to close friends, colleagues, and family. They listen more than they talk, think before they speak, and often feel as if they tend to dislike conflict. Many have horror of small talk, but enjoy deep discussion. Pg 226

Man of action
Extroverts
extroverts are people who will add life to your party and laugh generously at your jokes. They tend to be assertive, dominant, and in need of great company. They think out loud and on their feet; they prefer talking to listening, rarely find themselves loss at words, and occasionally blurt out things they never meant to say. They are comfortable with conflict but not with solitude. (page 11)
