Extroverts according to Myers-Briggs
“I like getting my energy from active
involvement in events and having a lot of
different activities. I’m excited when I’m
around people and I like to energize
other people. I like moving into action and
making things happen. I generally feel at
home in the world.”

Introverts according to Myers-Briggs
“I like getting my energy from dealing with
the ideas, pictures, memories, and
reactions that are inside my head, in my
inner world. I often prefer doing things
alone or with one or two people I feel
comfortable with.”

How can we have a more friendly work
environment for all personality types?

• Quiet time blocks
• Check with someone over IM/email

before coming over to talk with
them.
• Huddle rooms for quick
conversations
• Phone “booths” for conference calls

Quiet Time Blocks (suggestions)
Allows heads-down work to be done
from 8am-lunch time:
• No large gathering in main room
• No NERF gun shooting
• No victory yells
• No distractions from getting some
serious shit done.

Check with someone before
disturbing them
Contacting someone over a non-disruptive
media (that can be ignored if need be) is a
way to see if someone is “deep” in
thought/work and needs that time to
not be disturbed.

Use huddle rooms

is always better than crowding your
team member’s desk.

Phone calls in the office
Nothing is more distracting than a
phone call in the middle of a work
area.
I know, because I used to do it to my
introvert co-workers all the time...

Managing a mixed team
Extroverts will most likely let you know
when something is wrong, or if something
is bothering them. Being vocal and open
is just part of being an extrovert.

Managing a mixed team
Introverts sometimes need to be asked
about issues. Managers should be
more aware of issues and check in
with introverts to gather intel on how
projects and general work-life is going.

Q/A

Managing a large mixed team
Extroverts can overpower a
room so make sure everyone
gets the time to have input on a
problem or help with a solution.
Not everyone will want to
speak at that time, especially
an introvert. Make some time to
circle back with the ones that
didn’t give input at the time.
“Hey! Over here!!”

Planning project schedules
Make an effort to build in project time to
take into account the differences in need
of an extrovert vs. introvert.*
Think about what an introvert might need
and what an extrovert might need in
order to do the job to the best of their
abilities.
*This is not easy...duh. That’s why you’re a bad ass.

Let’s not alienate the ideas from
people who need more time.
In an industry that relies on fast ideas,
sometimes those are not the best.
Our introvert co-workers need time to
compile data and make an educated
decision before submitting an idea.
TL;DR
Brainstorms are great, just leave time afterwards for refinement.

Let’s do some User Research
When conducting user research,
personality types are sometimes left out
of defining factors on why people like or
dislike something.
Make sure you are not just thinking of
where and why people are using a
product, but the emotional
want/need for it.

Designing for someone you’re not.
As an extreme extrovert, it’s hard for me
to design for an introvert, so I use data
and research to sanity check my
decisions.
The world is extrovert driven. It’s not fair,
but it is. If we are to be truly empathetic
to the user, we should think about
introverts more.

Contextual Inquires can help.
Extroverts are going to tell you what they
want. Just because they are speaking up
doesn’t mean it is right.
Observe users in their environment to
find out what they really need.

How can an introvert network?
You can decide if it is important to you.
Let’s say it is:
•Use tools that make it easy
•Get help from more extroverted friends
•Practice makes perfect

Use Extrovert Friends

Practice Makes Perfect
Like leveling up your WOW character,

As an extreme extrovert, it’s hard for me to design for an introvert, so I use data and research to sanity check my decisions. The world is extrovert driven. It’s not fair, but it is.
