Introverts are ‘born quiet’. In her book, The Introvert Advantage: How To Thrive In An Extroverted World, Marti Olsen Laney sets out how an introvert’s brain is wired differently to an extrovert’s brain. She draws on scientific studies which have shown that introverts have a longer neural pathway through which they process information. This explains why introverts may take longer to speak or react and are quieter in their interactions.
