Carl Jung // "One of the most difficult cases is the intuitive introvert. The intuitive extrovert you find in all kinds: bankers, gamblers… The introvert is more difficult because he has intuitions as to the subjective factor, namely the inner world. And that is very difficult to understand because what he sees are the most uncommon things. He doesn’t like to speak of them if he’s not a fool because people won’t understand it… If the introverted intuitive would speak what he really perceives, practically no one would understand him. He would be misunderstood... They learn to keep things to themselves. You hardly ever hear them talking of these things. This is a great disadvantage. But in another way, it is an enormous advantage… For instance, they come into the presence of somebody they don’t know…and they see inner images. And these inner images give them a more or less complete information about the psychology of the partner... They know an important piece out of the biography of that person. So the introverted intuitive has, in a way, a very difficult life…although one of the most interesting lives."
