ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses some of the difficulties and benefits of writing with others of similar or dissimilar type. Extraverts seem to gain a great deal of energy from their rapid exchange of ideas. The most serious danger that they may encounter is that they might "hyper each other into a frenzy." Introverts might be continually thrown off balance by the Extravert's rapid exploration of ideas. Because Extraverts quickly throw out ideas, often with little or no reflection, their thoughts might seem contradictory or scattered to an Introvert. When Extraverts collaborate with a single Introvert, they need to realize that their preferred intense interaction with another writer while in the act of composition will place the Introvert at a disadvantage. When Extraverts enter the Introvert's world to colloborate, they are likely to feel shut out, frustrated, and even intimidated by the Introvert's desire to find some space.
