🎨 Are IB Group 6 Subjects Suitable for Introverted Students?
1. Artistic Work Allows Deep, Individual Expression
Group 6 subjects—especially Visual Arts and Music Composition—offer introspective, studio-based work where solo creativity flourishes. You can spend time alone developing ideas, refining techniques, and building your own artistic voice.
RevisionDojo explores how subjects like Visual Arts empower introverts through sustained solo practice and personal engagement in portfolios and exhibitions:

2. Performance Areas Can Be Adapted Thoughtfully
Music, Theatre, Dance, and Film require performance—but introverts can engage confidently when:
- Given rehearsal and preparation time
- Performing with small teams or solo roles
- Choosing roles behind the scenes (e.g. composition, direction, design)
RevisionDojo acknowledges that IB Arts allow flexibility in roles and encourages introverts to choose participation modes matching their comfort:

Most Group 6 coursework emphasizes self-reflection and personal narrative—areas where introverts often excel. Reflective portfolios, commentaries, and research essays let internal thinkers shine.
