When learning, introverts like to connect the dots. They can turn information in to knowledge and are irritated if this is not encouraged in the classroom.

Introverts don't like to "participate in class". They find this quite annoying. If they have something important to say, they will speak, but otherwise, they prefer to listen and learn.

Introverts process information best through reading. Unlike extroverts, they don't need to hear themselves say something out loud in order to learn it.

The social side of school is exhausting for introverts and they get little personal reward for participating in group activities. Therefore, study groups and study sessions with others should be kept to a minimum. It is annoying to introverts to have to participate in class in order to get a better grade. If necessary, they should learn to get this out of the way quickly, so they can get back to the business of really learning the material.

Introverts are the greatest readers in the world. Many were teased as children for always having their nose in a book!
