Brian Anderson considers himself as an introvert even though he has been a lawyer for the last 12 years. Talking with him outside the courthouse, you can see that Brian is an introvert. But once he walks through the doors of the courthouse, it is as if Brian's personality changed and he becomes an extrovert. This is what is known as being an "Ambivert" or "Social Introvert". Brian takes on the role of lawyer more so when he presents his case in court. He knows how to prepare for the case, what points he wants to highlight, and he is very good at giving his opening and closing remarks.
Accordingly, lawyer's are ranked 6th of Best Jobs for Introverts, and most lawyers agree that they are introverted. Studies show that 54-69% of lawyers are introverts. Trial lawyers, litigators, and prosecutors mediators tend to be extroverts. Family lawyers, mediators and estate planners tend to be introverts.
Since lawyers typically are salespeople, many do not understand that they have to sell to get new clients. For introverted lawyers, they need to discover how they can effectively drum up business and first understand their reluctance to sell.
Many people do not realize what a critical role introversion and extroversion issues play in their job satisfaction and job effectiveness. Introverted lawyers have unique characteristics to help move themselves forward, but they need to identify these traits and work at bringing them out.
