It is believed that the world belongs to extroverts.
Who are they, and why the universe decided to give them such a weighty gift, psychologists tell.
In the notion of extraversion, soul-historians have recently told.
In simple words about the difficult
What is the meaning of the word extrovert?
The concept of extraversion is human ability to interact with the outside world, thereby showing certain features of his temperament.
Any contact with others, whether communication, joint activities or recreation, carries with it an exchange of mental energy.
Depending on the way this energy is exchanged, psychologists distinguish two radically different types of temperament.
Since both are inextricably linked, the concept of extraversion should be explored along with the term introversion.
Extrovert - a person who is in the interaction of positive impressions. Such people like to communicate, they are easy to contact and quickly adapt to situations.
All the emotions of these characters are directed to the outside world. An extrovert openly declares his desires and experiences.
Introvert - the exact opposite of the previous type. The energy of this person is directed to the inner world. The psychotype is experiencing in the minds of many emotions, but does not seek to share them with others. Voting selective and silent.
Who is that?
A typical extrovert is a man full of energy.
If you imagine it in the form of a battery, then its indicator will most often be full.
It's all about the way energy is replenished. An extrovert is "recharged" from interacting with the outside world. He finds pleasure in communication and teamwork, which is why he continuously strives for contacts.
Being alone, an extrovert, on the contrary, spends the charge of his “battery”. Being alone with himself he loses useful recharge in the form of the interlocutor and society as a whole. Long-term individual activities are like torture to him.
To understand who such an extravert, it is necessary to study the opposite psychotype - an introvert.
This person has the same battery. However, it is often only half filled. Contacting with others the introvert spends "charge", so long-term interaction causes him discomfort.
Replenish the stock of introversion can left alone with your own thoughts. Reading books, watching movies or just falling asleep, he recovers in the same way as an extrovert is fed up in conversation.
