It is often stated that most successful people are loners. In other words most people like to think that successful people tend to be more introverts. I personally think that it is a mix. Some successful people are introverts while others are extroverts. I really have a problem with the word "loner" though. I do not think that most successful people are loners. I believe that they are leaders and choose not to be followers and as a result they are called loners. What do you think? Are most successful people introverts or extroverts? Why do you think this is?

I don't think so. In my case, I would prefer for both of the two: introvert ane extrovert. I think there's a lot of things which we are successful of... I'm successful in the sense that I finished my study and many more... Sometimes, I felt lonely but I tired my best to be on the go.... I mean be on the group just to enjoy myself and can relate to the others...

Hello Guolan and welcome to my lot. I don't think that anyone is more successful then the other. I mean if your a loner then you tend to think about being all alone and if your a person with a mate you tend to think if your doing the right thing for your relationship. I think it is like you said successful people tend to be leaders not followers. And because they are leaders people tend to notice them more then they will notice someone that you always have to tell what they need to be doing! People want people they can depend on.
