The introversion of Scandinavians are very overrated

[Pascoal]

I have met some scandinavians and they are very extroverted, much more extroverted than portuguese for example, i can't stand that dumb pseudoscience.

Well i am introverted as fuck(unless with close friends), i live in a very hot place(and i like it very much though), the average scandinavian is surely most extroverted than i am i don't think that is an exception, there are countries that aren't necessarily cold with a lot of introverted people, but the younger generations seems to become more introverted though, all over the world.

Introversion isn't related to climate, who says otherwise it is being wrong, Southeast Asians for example are very introverted people, just because you are some edgy and mysterious pale skinned folk doesn't mean that is related to your ethnicity, you are just coping on the internet.

Good talk.

Is it possible that Nordic people are more extroverted socially than they are emotionally? What behavior did you experience that striked you as particular extroverted?

A study 1941 study by Catherine Evans and T. R. McConnell decided that the low correlations between available introversion-extroversion inventories suggested that were different types of introversion-extroversion.

They identified socialization, emotional expression, and thinking as three separate introversion-extroversion spectrums.

"The thinking introvert shows a liking for reflective thought, particularly of a more abstract nature. His thinking tends to be not
so dominated or oriented bv objective conditions and generally accepted ideas as the thinking of the extrovert. The thinking extrovert, however, shows a liking for overt action, and his ideas tend to
be ideas of overt action. His thinking tends to be more dominated by
objective conditions and generally accepted ideas than that of the
introvert."

"The social introvert withdraws from social contacts and responsibilities. H e displays little interest in people. In contrast, the social
extrovert seeks social contacts and depends upon them for his
satisfaction. He is primarily interested in people."

"The emotional introvert tends to repress and inhibit the outward
expression of emotions and feelings. He tends not to make the
typical response to simple, direct emotional appeals. On the other
hand, the emotional extrovert readily expresses his emotions and
feelings outwardly. He tends to make the expected response to simple, direct emotional appeals."

I am aware that Scandinavian cultures are considered the most "feminine" in the Hofstede's cultural femininity/masculinity spectrum, but that is because of they are such cooperative social democrat societies. It does not necessarily mean they are emotional extroverted as females tend to be:

"This dimension focuses on how extent to which a society stress achievement or nurture. Masculinity is seen to be the trait which emphasizes ambition, acquisition of wealth, and differentiated gender roles. Femininity is seen to be the trait which stress caring and nurturing behaviors, sexuality equality, environmental awareness, and more fluid gender roles."

Surely isn't related to weather, otherwise, Canadians wouldn't be very talkative people like they are. There are some aesthetic factor on this perception as well, they are all related to Vikings according to popular culture and media, they are perceived as cold people because of it. A guy with hooked nose and swarthy skin like myself is less likely to be viewed as a introverted guy because of that.

I'm not arguing that extroversion-introversion can be clearly differentiated by climate. I am just curious what your observations on emotional extroversion-introversion among Scandinavians versus social extroversion-introversion. People can be sociable without overt emotional displays.

They seemed to express their emotions very well imo.

Most people get surprised with my introversion despite being brazilian. I have a theory that nordish people are wrongly perceived as introverted because of their pale skin, and probably associated to living more indoors.

I'm introverted but have no problems talking to people or asking questions. The reason why I'm introverted is that I need plenty of time on my own. I gain energy from that and find being in social situations draining. Introversion doesn't mean not be able to socialise. I prefer being on my own if I have a choice.
