Introspection

from Jung Lexicon by Daryl Sharp

Introspection. A process of reflection that focuses on personal reactions, or patterns and attitudes. (See also meditation.)

The difference between introspection and introversion is that the latter refers to the direction in which energy naturally moves, while the former refers to self-examination. Neither introverts nor those with a well-developed thinking function have a monopoly on introspection.
