Extrovert: characteristic
Recently, it has become fashionable to hang labels on oneself - philanthropist, melancholic, extrovert and others. Often not fully understanding what this or that word means. This article will tell you who an extrovert is and why he is so special.
Characteristics of an extrovert
The name of this psychotype comes from the Latin word "extra" which means outside. That is, these people are accustomed not to keep all emotions, aspirations and thoughts inside themselves, but to throw out on surrounding.
Scientists believe that the cerebral cortex is most easily excitable in extroverts. Extroverts have richer circulation in the areas of the brain that are responsible for emotions than others. Such people are much more sensitive to rewarding incentives.
From a behavioral point of view, extroverts are people who cannot do without increased attention to their person. These are lovers of noisy parties and large gatherings of people. They often choose a job that involves constant communication.
Extroverts are confident and have excellent communication skills. Of course, to someone their sociability seems excessive, but with such people it is never boring. Extroverts often give away whatever comes to mind. Not noticing at the same time that they offend others. Although it is difficult to be offended by them for a long time, they are very friendly people.
These people are more likely to choose action over reflection. Their motto in life is "drove, then we'll figure it out." With great enthusiasm, they take up any new business. And if they still have to become a pioneer - the height of the bliss of an extrovert.
An extrovert is easy to recognize literally from the first minutes of communication - he will look directly at the interlocutor. Whereas introverts prefer to look past whoever they are talking to.
Extroverts are more likely to describe themselves as happy people than others. Indeed, they know how to enjoy the little things and notice the positive moments literally everywhere.
At the same time, extraversion has its drawbacks. For example, scientists believe that in adolescence, such people are more likely to exhibit addictive behavior. That is, examples adolescents- rebels or members of various youth organizations - punks, football hooligans, these are precisely the representatives of this psychotype.
Also small extroverts are friends with everyone in a row, not realizing that some people can have a far from positive influence on the emerging psyche... Such people have no "brakes".
The main punishment for an extrovert it is the compulsion to “sit within 4 walls”. Isolation from people, deprivation of the opportunity to receive emotions - the worst that can be imagined for an extrovert.
So, the signs of an extrovert:
- emotionality;
- dependence on society;
- sociability;
- active life position;
- constant gesticulation;
- shower for plowing.
