Etymology

The term 'introvert' was popularized by Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung in the early 20th century. Jung used introversion as one of the key components of his theory of personality types. The concept has since been widely adopted in psychology and popular culture to describe individuals who are more inward-focused. Introversion is not to be confused with shyness, as introverts may enjoy social interactions but prefer quieter and more solitary activities.
