Loved Real
Part 2
by Nancy R. Fenn

A gifted introvert with an excellent understanding of this phenomenon is Hans Christian Andersen. Andersen has described the basic qualities of introverts very well in many of his tales, the most familiar of which is "The Ugly Duckling". Two other fairy tales that express the quintessential qualities of introverts are "The Red Shoes" and "The Little Mermaid".

Warren Buffet, the world's best investor, is an introvert. If you read many of his statements about investing, you will discover that much of his success is based on his ability to refrain from taking action such as frequent buying and selling of stocks.

You can read "The Little Mermaid" here.

According to the Myers-Briggs® Type Indicator and the Keirsey Temperament Sorter II, there are 8 different types of introverts. Hans Christian Andersen was an infp introvert, which Keirsey calls the Healer.

Keirsey describes the infp introvert this way: "Healers live a fantasy filled childhood, which, unfortunately, is discouraged or even punished by many parents. These individuals are capable of an exalted kind of love which transcends the ability of most others to understand ....
