Most and least introverted countries? (living in, move, retired)

There is equal importance for introversion and extroversion in all of life and universal existence. Why is introversion negatively stigmatized more than extroversion sometimes? There is the possibility of easily finding a balance of introversion together with extroversion, and a practical characteristic in life.

I noticed not all versions of personality styles of introversion are the same, and this is especially accurate for personality and temperament styles in extroversion. However, some stereotypes is able to be said. This is necessary to categorize and notice the exact specific events for what is introverted and what is extroverted in people's actions, and in people's lives.

The top 10 most Introverted Countries based on National Temperament and Personality:

Austria
Switzerland
Germany
Denmark
Norway
Netherlands
Singapore
India
Taiwan
Canada


The top 10 most Extroverted Countries:

Dominican Republic

I don't see India as introvert, those people can keep talking.
You really see the Netherlands as more introvert than Iceland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Sweden, Finland, Korea and Japan

btw where is Italy on your most extroverted list?

5/10 extroverts are former Spanish colonies! Interesting!

Missing from the introvert list would be Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. The Indians , Singaporeans and Taiwanese are in between, not intros!

I don't understand why people assume Italians are extroverted, that is a fat myth. I live here (North) and these people are extremely reserved. If they don't know you they won't make small talk! Now when I go very south of Italy there are more extroverted! So it depends where in Italy.
But introverted/extroverted are personality traits.
I lived in a few countries Europe so many year now and Northern Europe are more quieter and reserved nations.
America is very extroverted and loud, if you are not extroverted you will make the average American uncomfortable. I am talking in general. Also in my experience being introverted is not viewed as a negative thing here in Europe as in America.

Well, you agree with most of the countries on my most introverted and most extroverted list. Most Introverted countries based on national temperament, personality, and people scene: Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Singapore, Taiwan, Canada. Most Extroverted countries: Dominican Republic, Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil, Spain, Portugal, Philippines, South Africa, Croatia, Costa Rica.

There was just a few exceptions where you don’t agree: Netherlands, and India. Well, I met plenty of introverted Indians, and there is always something introverted about Indians based on some characteristics, even when acting extroverted.


There is a false stereotype about the level of extroversion in Italians, especially in the northern regions of Italy where people are more introverted compared to the south over there. The entire country of Italy is not in the top 10 for either main characteristic in this topic. If Southern regions of Italy was a separate country, then it would be in the top 10 for most extroverted.



What is your view of introversion and extroversion outside of listing countries? This topic is about those personality characteristics on an international global scale, not just a list, and my post was about much more than the list:

Yeah, Spain and almost all “former Latin Spanish colonies” modern countries that have long term historical relations with Spain appear very extroverted for plenty of reasons. This includes Spain, Costa Rica, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Philippines, and some more countries.

I wonder what is the most introverted country with historical Spain relations? This might be Peru. I had a Peruvian American girlfriend when I was 15 to 16 years old, and almost every person I met with Peruvian ancestry are very introverted compared to any other “Hispanic” and Spanish Latin nationality, including this girlfriend with Peruvian ethnic heritage. Peruvians are more quiet, talk less, more serious, slower pace, and more mystical. However, I wouldn’t categorize Peru into the top 10 most introverted countries list. This is just in relative terms compared to other Spanish speaking countries.


Argentina, and Chile are more introverted compared to the most extroverted Spanish speaking countries. However, they have a pretty good balance of introversion and extroversion personality characteristics together, and are not in the top 10 most introverted or most extroverted.

I agree with you there is a false generalization stereotype about the level of extroversion in Italians, at least in the northern regions of Italy north of Rome. The people in Northern Italy seem more reserved, serious, quieter, talk less: especially to strangers/acquaintances, and don’t show the same exact personality characteristics compared to people in the southern regions of Italy. If someone is not Italian in nationality, or ethnic heritage, then there is a higher possibility of not being talked to as much from an Italian.

Yeah, introversion and extroversion are characteristics, personality traits, and shown in plenty of actions in everyday life.

There is benefits, and value in both introversion, and extroversion, and important to find a balance in those characteristics personality traits without too much extremes with too much introversion or too much extroversion.

How did you come up with the conclusion that Canada and Singapore are introverted societies?

I think a lot of what people are saying here is based on stereotypes. There are introverted and extroverted people in every country. A lot of how a populace acts is down to society's expectations and people learn to act a certain way out in public from their parents, school etc. I bet if people met a lot of these so called "introverts" in a social setting they wouldn't find them that introverted at all. It is just a matter of conditioning and expectations on how to act correctly out in public.

Truly introverted people are much happier on their own and shun a lot of social interaction.
