Found floating around on the internet: How to Care for Introverts: - Respect their need for privacy
- Never embarrass them in public
- Let them observe first in new situations.
- Give them time to think; don't demand instant answers
- Don't interrupt them
- Give them advance notice of expected changes in their lives
- Give them 15-minute warnings to finish whatever they are doing
- Reprimand them privately
- Teach them new skills privately
- Enable them to find one best friend who has similar interests and abilities
- Don't push them to make lots of friends
- Respect their introversion; don't try to remake them into extroverts
And of course, the supplement, How to Care for Extroverts: - Respect their independence
- Compliment them in the company of others
- Accept and encourage their enthusiasm
- Allow them to explore and talk things out
- Thoughtfully surprise them
- Understand when they are busy
- Let them dive right in
- Offer them options
- Make physical and verbal gestures of affection
- Let them shine
Here's a better design of the extrovert one.
