sunspot Posted December 30, 2005 Posted December 30, 2005 There are two orientations by which one focuses consciousness, with are extroversion and introversion. An extroverted orientation has the current behind consciousness flowing into the vocal cords and body. While an introverted orientation has the same current flowing into the imagination. Most people can use both orientations, although most people usually are born with one of the other as their primary orientation.
aj47 Posted December 30, 2005 Posted December 30, 2005 Is this a question or just your own thoughts on the subject?

sunspot Posted January 7, 2006 Author Posted January 7, 2006 The question is, is contemporary psychology useful to both orientations? Or does it favor one over the other?
lrokwild Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 I’m not very familiar with contemporary psychology ideas. Mostly because i just started studying psychology and usually you start with the basic ideas of Freud, Jung, Watson, Skinner, Charco, Alport, Coon, Brener, Lock and so forth. They all happen to be dead What i can collectively say from what i have learned so far is that many of their ideas seem to be unbiased against these 2 orientations.
starbug1 Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 The question is, is contemporary psychology useful to both orientations? Or does it favor one over the other? Do you mean are both orientations applicable in comtemporary psychology? They are. Herey's why, psychology, broadly, is the study of the mind, and both introversion and extroversion are studied because they are aspects of the mind, although leaning more strongly towards introversion. This is a lot of times the main orientation for people with neurosis, psychosis, and depression, so therefore clinical, school, and therapeutic psychologists work with them more.
