Carl Gustav Jung (1975-1961) was a famous Swiss psychiatrist who worked for a long time with Sigmund Freud, who was separated because of deep differences of thought between the two. The legacy of his work is very broad, but we will stop here in his theory of the psychic apparatus and issues of particular interest to graphology, and more specifically the concept of extraversion / introversion.
Accordingly every human being is endowed with psychic energy potential and has a fundamental tendency to direct that energy, either to the outside world, ie to the object, or inward, ie, about himself.
In the first talk of a subject outgoing , which literally means "turned outwards." In this case the subject adopted a more or less spontaneous, open to things and people, show concern for their immediate and distant, and also easy to adapt to that environment. The outgoing adopt ways of thinking and acting in more or less conform to prevailing ideas. Not that he is capable of issuing a personal opinion, but his line to the outside makes it easy to prevailing social norms at that time. He does not like the solitude nor too deeply into his inner world. An excess of extraversion can lead to a "flight from itself", mainly due to discomfort when faced with the inner emptiness and being subjected to different environmental demands.
On the opposite side we find the subject introverted is not one that is perpetually engaged in deep meditation, as separate from the world. For him the world exists, but given less attention and their interest is focused more on the way we see things. Have more difficulty adapting to their environment, and a tendency to withdraw into himself, but, yes, I can lose in warmth it gains in inner wealth.
Delving into the graphical symbols that correspond to these two trends, they would be:
Ngada upward sloping upward, progressive, wreath, tied, fast, dynamogenic, launched, moved, with left margin width or increasing bar "t" on the right, large firm and on the right and heading. Its general trend is to expand the graphic.
(Pictured writing with signs of extraversion)
Introversion: writing small, compressed, tight, low, vertical, down, in arcs, inhibited, slow, constrained, with left margin declines, and increasing law bars, "t" placed to the left, small firm and sometimes may appear to the left. Its general trend is the concentration of the graphics.

At this point it should make a series of important considerations:
1) All Poetry people in it the two mechanisms extraversón and introversion in varying degrees, which complicates the task of handwriting. If we try to pigeonhole a particular writing necessarily one of the two sides (introvert / extravert) we make a mistake. Try to dispense the two trends and try to determine the dominance or trend on one or the other. May find, therefore, there is writing on the mix of introversion and extraversion.
2) Jung says that is precisely the interaction of the prevailing trend, aware and prepared, with the trend unconscious opposite, ill-adapted, which reveals the dynamic character, their tensions and contradictions.
3) Even the degree of extroversion and introversion may vary in the same individual at different times of his life. As an example, teenagers go through a period of introversion usually rather long.
Serve this in order to check once again the level of detail that we use to analyze a text.
