Introvert, Extrovert, Generalist, Specialist

[I got this idea from FundraisingCoach.com]

Which is the best profession for us? The two most important factors are:
A. Our orientation towards people
B. Our orientation towards subjects

A. Our orientation towards people
There are two types of people based on this factor:
1. Introverts get their energy from themselves
2. Extroverts get their energy from other people

B. Our orientation towards subjects
There are two types of people based on this factor:
1. Generalists are interested in many subjects
2. Specialists are interested in only one subject

So considering these two factors together, there are totally 2 x 2 = 4 types of people:
1. Extrovert-Generalist
2. Introvert-Specialist
3. Extrovert-Specialist
4. Introvert-Generalist

The best professions for these people are:
1. Extrovert-Generalist - These people have a basic knowledge of many subjects and are good at working with people. So they make good managers.
2. Introvert-Specialist - These people have an in-depth knowledge of one subject and are good at working alone. So they make good researchers.
3. Extrovert-Specialist - These people have an in-depth knowledge of one subject and are good at working with people. So they make good experts.
4. Introvert-Generalist - These people do not have enough knowledge in any subject and are not good at working with people. So they are unemployable.

The rough percentages of these types of people are:
1. Extrovert-Generalist - 95%
2. Introvert-Specialist - 2%
3. Extrovert-Specialist - 2%
4. Introvert-Generalist - 1%
