Etymology

The term 'introversion' was first introduced by the Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung in the early 20th century. Jung used introversion to describe an attitude where the individual is focused on their internal thoughts and feelings rather than external stimuli. Over the years, introversion has become a well-recognized personality trait in psychology and is often studied alongside its counterpart, extroversion.
