“…Some of these early personality psychologists’ attempts at wrangling the unwieldy Jungian concepts of introverts and extraverts included proposals for its definition and measurement. This community’s references emphasize the partial transformation from personality type to trait, and includes University of Oregon’s institutionally important but largely unknown Edmund Conklin (1923; BC = 1.5) and his proposal for the normal, adaptable, and healthy midpoint personality type: the ambivert (see Davidson, 2017). Once again, psychometrician J. P. Guilford makes an appearance, in an article that outlines the numerous definitions and approaches to introversion–extraversion thus far in psychology.…”

This article is a cocitation network analysis of () from 1925 to 1942. The analysis was conducted to help shed light on the historical roots of the intellectual and institutional relationships among social, personality, and abnormal psychology. was a main venue for the boundary work of early- to mid-twentieth-century American psychologists. One of the main goals of these various research communities was to appropriate psychoanalytic and sociological concepts into preferred methods and approaches that favored an individualistic, quantifiable, and ultimately normal subject. Five major research communities are identified using the citations, and historically contextualized: Community #1, Measuring Social Aspects; Community #2, Psychometrics; Community #3, Operationalizing Psychoanalysis; Community #4, Introversion Studies; and Community #5, Experimental Social Psychology. This analysis demonstrates how disciplinary psychologists, at least within, were united by the work of delimiting their research from closely aligned fields studying the same concepts-even while psychologists' methodological commitments to experimentalism or psychological testing might have ostensibly divided them. Possible future research incorporating post-World War II research and dynamic networking approaches is recommended. (PsycINFO Database Record

“…In 1923, Conklin proposed that ambiversion refers to the normal people in between the introversion and extroversion categories. Davidson (2017) further explained his statement that the ambivert was also regarded as personality non grata. In other words, this is the trait that is not welcomed to any of the two earlier traits.…”

Literary appreciations are people's responses about works of literature, whether they are formal or informal reviews, laymen or scholars (Pope, 1998 as cited in Ghabanchi & Doost, 2012. Thus, it is a subjective matter that requires no definite answer scheme in literature class. Students are free to interpret and explain the subject based on their opinion and understanding inasmuch as it revolves around that assigned literary work. The similar idea is practised by LG120 (Diploma in English for Professional Communication) students from UiTM (Universiti Teknologi MARA) Cawangan Johor, Segamat campus, in their Introduction to Literature (ALS103) class. As expected, various interpretations and answers produced, which directly or indirectly challenge the teachers in responding to them. Since students possess different personalities, this study should help the teachers to prepare themselves in formulating their responses too. Therefore, this study is keen to investigate the potential relationship between personal traits namely introversion, extroversion and ambiversion and the students' literary appreciation on a play entitled 'The Importance of Being Earnest' by Oscar Wilde which focuses on the character preferences. The study involved 17 LG120 Semester 1 students from UiTM Johor, Segamat campus. A mixed-method sequential explanatory study involving quantitative; questionnaires on the personality traits and qualitative; online interview on character preferences approach was utilised. The quantitative data obtained from the questionnaires on their personality traits were analysed using SPSS for frequencies which then be paired together with the data obtained from the online interview, and were analysed using Pearson's r to measure the relationship between the

“…During the testing, the Introvert's Beta waves are of low amplitude whereas the Extraverts produce high amplitude Beta waves when the same auditory contents were continued to be shown to them. Ambivert [23] is a classification which is a combination of Introvert and Extravert. From these patterns, it is possible to classify the learner into Introvert or Extravert or Ambivert.…”

In recent times Electronic Learning (E-Learning) and Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) are more popular among the current generation of learners. Coursera, Edx, Simplilearn, Byjus and many other E-Learning service providers are available to deliver various courses. A recent study, in online courses, it has been found by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) that an astronomical dropout rate of about 96 per cent was found for the last five years. Educational researchers are attempting to decrease the dropout rate of E-Learning courses using various methods. Human Computer Interface (HCI) researchers are attempting to use Brain Computer Interface (BCI) to increase the efficiency of the E-Learning. Beta waves (14-30 Hz) are generated when the learners are more alert. Neil Fleming's VARK (Visual, Auditory, Read and Write and Kinesthetic) questionnaires are used by many researchers to classify the learners. Carl Jung explored that Introverts and Extraverts are the personality traits among the humans. Soomin Kim's study shows that for gathering of quantitative data, Chatbot may be a promising method. The proposed research work in this paper is to find out a correlation between Introvert and Extravert personality types and their learning styles. Initially, modified VARK questionnaires are implemented as a Chatbot to classify individuals as Introverts or Extraverts. After the classifications by the Chatbot, two minutes of visual and auditory contents are given to Introverts and Extraverts and learners' Beta brain waves are recorded and a dataset is created at an interval of one second. The dataset is validated using Machine Learning (ML) algorithms, like Naïve Bayes, N48 and Canopy. The proposed method is found to improve the accuracy of classification of learners. Bio-Inspired learning style Brain Computing Interface (BIL-BCI) framework proposed in this paper is a recommendation system to increase the accuracy of the classification among the E-Learners. INDEX TERMS E-Learning, massive open online course, VARK learning style, learning styles inventory(LSI), chatbot, classification, machine learning, introverts, extraverts, brain computer interface. I. INTRODUCTION Internet is expanding to a larger extent to reach all over the world. The average global internet speed is getting faster. Educational technologies [1] have become more viable with the advent of Internet. The higher education process has been dramatically changed by the use of latest techniques and tools. Modern technologies are increasing to have easy access for learning. Human's learning online can be changed by the E-Learning and MOOCs process. A large number of learners The associate editor coordinating the review of this manuscript and approving it for publication was Mohammad Zia Ur Rahman. can learn online at their own pace by using MOOC. Open course materials and peer feedbacks are used by the learners to interact with the courses. Around the globe, many universities are offering learners a chance to learn their relevant courses through MOOCs. E-...
