Such people are not very expressive by nature so they prefer to remain calm. They speak very less and listen more. This doesn’t mean that they are not attentive. Less speaking means that they are listening to what others are saying therefore such types of people gain a lot and extract even the minutest of knowledge about what others are saying. That type of person has another habit of writing more than other people. They tend to note down what they have learned. They don’t allow any type of knowledgeable event to go in vain. That is why they pen it down.

Such people speak a lot and they even don’t bother about what others are saying or what they want to say. They don’t allow others to speak and express their views. Because of this habit, they aren’t able to listen to what others want to say as a result they aren’t able to gain anything. As such people are busy talking all the time as a result they have no time to pen the events down. This means such people have no or very less desire to write.
