An all too brief take on just two of our “verted” population: what are we to make of our interactions with converts? Perverts? Reverts? Diverts? Inverts? Please key another article soon to answer these and other pressing questions, such as … (I’m thinking very loud) …

Interesting thoughts. Your article spoke to both of the Gemini twins within me–one “vert” is “IN” at least for part of the day or night and the other is always “OUT” where she belongs! Your article brings a whole new light to the importance of knowing and understanding the “INs” and “Outs” of our business and personal worlds! As little Oliver would say, “More, please.”

i loved the article. is it possible to be an extrovert some of the time and an introvert at other times? when i have a number of social times in a row, i crave to be alone and quiet. once i have my alone time, i seek social outings to energize myself. it is a fairly consistent schedule. years ago, i called this quiet, alone time as “wall time”. i sit, my mind wanders and then i usually take a nap. no radio, no TV, just silence. some people have no idea what i am talking about and apparently don’t need this time.

i believe there are times when i am talking and i think the other person is not “tuning in” to the conversation versus the person who intentionally “tunes you out”.

I love the “verts” terminology. I see myself all wrapped up in the “introvert” as I’m always sure I said that “out loud” — right?
Very nice read and thought provoking. You rock.

Great Job! I’m with Todd! Being an extrovert myself, I’m anxious to hear more on that!

Was the voice in my head giving the directions, or as it the words comming out of my mouth as a major source of “Miscommunication. Very stromg point with a great hook “Verts”.
I think I can use the ‘HOOK’ to access my accountability for my daily ‘Communications. Good article.

Very insightful. I want more. You have wetted my appetite. Now I want to know more of what drives the extrovert, and what may happen if one is dealing with extroverts in the workplace. Or what happens when both “verts” (I love that term. I wil be using it in a sermon.) are co-workers on a project?
Very good stuff. You’ve got me thinking, and at the end of the day – that is a very impressive feat!
