There is a general misconception that in order to be successful, you need to get yourself out there and make yourself known. But like the following famous introverts have proven, that's not always the case.
J.K. Rowling, the creator of the multi-million dollar Harry Potter franchise, is a self-professed introvert. She spent a lot of time in deep thought, which helped her tune out the rest of the world and focus on coming up with the fictional wizarding world. We may think that someone in the entertainment industry has to be outspoken to be popular, but one of the best living actresses, Meryl Streep, takes a different route. Instead of making connections, she spends hours on research and practice to immerse herself in a character.
Ever wonder which famous introvert in history you can best relate to? Answer the following questions that introverts have strong opinions on. Based on your choices, we will match you up with a successful introvert whose personality you are similar to.

Albert Einstein
You got: Abraham Lincoln!
You’re just like Abraham Lincoln, who may have been a living oxymoron; he was a politician who was introverted. However, his nights alone writing poems and gifts for communication allowed him to carry out his presidential duties.
I think Abraham Lincoln is a very special introvert.
Sir Isaac Newton
You got: Sir Isaac Newton!
You’re just like Isaac Newton, who loved to read books and write in them. He may forget about social engagements, but he also had an impeccable ability to concentrate, which may have helped him form his multiple discoveries.

You got: Charles Darwin!
You’re just like Charles Darwin, who enjoyed taking long walks across the woods alone. He also directly rejected invitations for dinner parties to avoid socializing. However, he did come up with the Theory of Evolution, so you may be on to something with being introverted.
