Who is an Extrovert? Definition and Characteristics

All people are different - a fact that hardly anyone will dispute. While one person cannot live a day without communication, another prefers silence and solitude. In psychology, on this basis, two personality types are distinguished. The first is an extrovert, focused on the outside world. He is cheerful, optimistic, active and is always in the center of attention. Real radiant sun. But it also has its dark spots.

What is an extrovert?

An extrovert is a restless person who cannot sit still, dependent on external connections and tuned in to contact with the outside world. Unlike introverts, they avoid being alone with themselves because:

• they are frightened by their own thoughts and the need to deal with them;
• they become bored, have a bad mood, and are prone to depression;
• they find themselves in a situation of inaction, and for them this is something unnatural, strange.

Characteristics of an extrovert.

An extrovert in appearance is a person with active facial expressions, gestures, impetuous movements and loud speech. He walks quickly, eats quickly, dresses quickly. At the same time, it seems that his energy is not only preserved, but even increased. A great example is the situation in supermarkets. A typical extrovert is a person who:

• rides on a grocery cart or offers to give someone else a ride;
• buys everything without really checking the expiration date of goods and their price tags;
• comes for 1-3 products, and leaves with full bags of things that are not always necessary;
• communicates with consultants or customers, and not necessarily about purchases;
• quickly moves from one department of the market to another, each time forgetting to buy something;
• stops the line to chat with the cashier, find out about all the promotions or argue about the amount on the check.

The main fears of an extroverted personality are solitude and routine . She cannot live without attention, she loves when people talk about her. If no one notices her (which is almost impossible), she may resort to black PR. Something is constantly changing in her life - appearance, environment, work, hobbies, people. If something remains unchanged for an extrovert for a long time, he begins to feel sad and depressed. A few more characteristic signs:

• the need to often be among people and communicate with them;
• the desire to be in demand, irreplaceable, unique;
• restlessness, poor concentration, superficiality;
• initiative, ambition, determination, activity (“there is no time to think, we must act”);
• straightforwardness, openness, sincerity, naivety;
• the predominance of strong emotions, vivid expressiveness;
• tendency to improvise, refusal to be systematic and planning.

Extroverts are innovators; they are not afraid of change, but seek it. They quickly generate ideas, half of which defy the laws of physics and logic. However, this does not stop these people from trying to make their plans come true. The most interesting thing is that they often succeed. Simply because they go ahead.

An introverted extrovert (ambivert) has the following characteristics:

• lack of random people in your circle of friends;
• comfort both in society and in complete solitude;
• ambiguous assessments from others: he seems either quiet or an active erudite;
• the ability to empathize;
• skillful use of internal and external energy.

According to statistics, there are very few ambiverts - only about 5%.

Disadvantages of an extrovert.

Recklessness.

He rarely thinks about the consequences of his actions. Even in serious situations, he prefers to skip the stage of reflection. Lives for today and does not make plans for the future. Instantly clings to every reason for action . Reasons for this behavior:

• fear of appearing useless, passive, unnecessary;
• fear of missing out on a good moment or opportunity, even if everything involves great risk;
• the desire to try something new, to avoid boredom and routine;
• the desire to be the first, the winner, the desire to constantly achieve success.

This trait often gets him into trouble . Since he is a gambling person, he can lose a large amount of money, become a victim of gambling addiction, get involved in a fight, or harm himself. An extrovert who has achieved a lot and then loses it all in just a second is a relatively common situation.

Poor self-control.

An extrovert's anger, joy, jealousy, disappointment and other emotions are never weak or unnoticed. If he is hurt, he will cry bitterly; if he is offended, he will destroy everything around him; if he won the lottery, he will scream for joy until he becomes hoarse. Extroverts are clearly bad poker players.

An extroverted person who experiences strong emotion does not think about others. Feeling angry, she can break someone's thing. Rejoicing, he will begin to hug a passerby who will not like it. When sad, he will listen to sad songs loudly, preventing his neighbors from sleeping.

Variability.

If an extrovert were an animal, it would definitely be a chameleon. The only difference is that the reptile changes color, and he changes everything that is possible. His instability can turn into unreliability, frivolity, personal inferiority (he does not understand himself and suffers from this). One gets the impression that he is constantly in search of:

• ideal appearance - dyes his hair, changes his clothing style, gets tattoos, and then cuts them out or removes them;
• favorite pastime - does not stay long in one workplace, gives up halfway through;
• comfortable environment - moves, often makes repairs, rearranges furniture;
• suitable people - makes new acquaintances, loses interest in old friends, constantly increases the circle of contacts, not paying attention to its quality.

This spoils his relationships with others and causes distrust on their part. And the extrovert himself, despite all the changes and noise, sometimes feels loneliness and inferiority.

Features of communication

Some useful tips from psychologists on how an introvert can communicate with an extrovert:

• Use nonverbal cues

For an extrovert, words alone are not enough. He needs nods of agreement, eye contact, handshakes, and supportive gestures. He must see that you are not just listening to him, but also hearing him, you understand. Otherwise there will be no contact.

• Don't be afraid to interrupt

Extroverts can talk for hours. If you don't interrupt them at some point, they will eventually get tired and conclude that you don't want to communicate with them or are not at all interested in them. Ask questions, express your opinion, argue - this will make them truly happy.

• Take breaks

Extroverted people are lightning fast and spontaneous. They live and act here and now, demanding the same from others. You are an introvert, you are deeper and cannot make decisions without thinking thoroughly. Don't follow their lead, otherwise you will allow them to manipulate you. Politely ask to take a break - some time to weigh the pros and cons. At first they will be annoyed by this, but then they will begin to respect you and will not force you to adapt to them.

• Don't take everything seriously

When communicating with an extrovert, you need to understand one simple truth: he often speaks out loud the entire stream of his thoughts, even if they are not yet his final decisions. Therefore, learn to separate the wheat from the chaff: when he says intermediate and raw, and when he says a ready-made version.

• Get ready for unpleasant communication

This is a very hot-tempered, irritable, overly impulsive type of personality, ready at any moment to launch into a heated argument, in which he will defend his point of view almost to the point of a fight. This is where the advice about a pause comes in handy - look for arguments in advance that will cool his ardor and demonstrate that you know how to stand up for yourself.

If two opposing personality types come together in a married couple, the introvert (if he wants to save the relationship) must understand the following about the extrovert:

1. He should not be left locked up at home without communication. Be sure to let him go to meetings with friends or to clubs of interest.
2. To discuss an important decision, prepare in advance: think through the arguments and do not expect a quick result. The discussions will be heated and long.
3. Love his virtues and do not notice his flaws. There are still more of the first ones.
4. Load him full of useful things at home - direct his activity in the right direction. Let him take the children to museums, do repairs, and help you with your work.
5. A couple of times a year, give him light herbal sedatives under the guise of vitamin-mineral complexes. They will help you be a little calmer and more measured.
6. Do not reproach him for unreliability and frivolity. This is his nature.

As practice shows, an introvert can easily get along with an extrovert if she builds a correct line of behavior with him from the very beginning.

Pros of being an extrovert.

Good communication skills.

Extroverts are not afraid to take the first steps, to be leaders and initiators. They can find an approach to literally every person. All they have to do is start talking, and everyone around them already agrees with them, if only because it is impossible to argue with them. Their zeal and enthusiasm captivate their interlocutors.

Even if an extrovert does not have serious arguments, he will still manage to prove something deliberately false or unreal. They admire him because when he speaks with such passion and sparkle in his eyes, everyone involuntarily wants to smile.

Great adaptation.

If an extrovert somehow simultaneously loses his job, his house, his dog, and ends up on a desert island, he will still fit in just fine.

It is people with an extroverted psychotype who are the first to go to newly opened restaurants. They go on spontaneous trips with a minimum amount of money. They are the only ones who are happy when the crowded elevator gets stuck. Still would! This is a great opportunity to meet and chat!

This quality greatly helps an extrovert get out of trouble and build his life in any conditions.

Determination.

Despite their rashness, extroverted individuals never suffer from the “what if I then...?” complex. They may regret their actions in the past, but they don't have to feel bad about not trying something.

Yes, such people may get into trouble more often, but they are usually luckier, ready for anything, and do not get lost in unforeseen situations. Risk is a common and natural thing for them, so they receive more significant rewards for it.

Love of life.

Sometimes an extroverted person is sad, offended, doubts himself, and feels guilty. However, he still loves life. The following qualities help him in this:

• lack of fixation on problems, failures, bad emotions in general;
• the ability to let go, forget the past, find something good in the present;
• a well-developed sense of humor, the ability to sometimes be a child;
• the desire to take everything from life, to try new things;
• the habit of sharing your joy with others and expressing it openly.

If he calms down for a long time, often grumbles, gets angry, calls life unfair, most likely he has deep mental trauma and needs help. It doesn't have to be a psychotherapist. It is quite possible that a good friend will correct the situation.

Recommendations

• Due to the fact that decision-making is strongly influenced by the emotional state, it is recommended to retire at least once a week and try to comprehend the consequences and possible difficulties. Also, gain strength not through communication and events, but in peace and quiet.
• Come up with a technique that will pause you, especially protect you from spontaneous decisions and purchases. For example, before being rude and speaking out, count to 10, take a break, wash your face with cool water, and only then, when the first impulse to act has passed and your thinking starts, you can continue the conversation. Introverts will have to learn exactly the opposite - to act on the first impulse. As soon as the desire appears, immediately begin its implementation, instead of thinking about the advantages, disadvantages and risks.
• To develop the qualities of an extrovert, try to change your behavior a little by starting to get out into crowded places, communicate more and get to know each other. Over time, you will be able to notice that anxiety becomes less and less, as a result of which the pleasure and satisfaction from contact will increase.
• It often happens that they do not notice the reactions of loved ones, which greatly offends them. Try to be attentive not only to your feelings, but also to those around you. Be respectful of their personality and opinions.
• Try a new look by changing your clothing style, hairstyle, decorate your desktop with at least one photo, and you will notice how others will be drawn to you, showing interest.
• If you want to learn to be sociable, then smile more often, it is conducive. And remember, if you openly talk about your feelings and show emotions, this will not be a sign of weakness, but, on the contrary, of sincerity and openness.

Extraversion and temperament.

Phlegmatic and melancholic people are extremely rare among extroverts. And if they do come across it, it’s probably mixed with a sanguine or choleric type of temperament. Moreover, the latter clearly predominate.

Sanguine extroverts.

These are the most good-natured people, selfless philanthropists and altruists. They intuitively feel when they should be close to a loved one and cheer him up, make him smile. A few more typical features:

• unwavering optimism;
• curiosity, passion;
• naivety, gullibility;
• the ability to forgive, sacrifice;
• compromise, reliability.

However, you should not think that a sanguine extrovert is a harmless Bambi, whom anyone can hurt. He is quite capable of standing up for himself and fighting back. However, it will take a lot of effort to anger him. The sanguine person will try to settle everything peacefully until the last moment.

Choleric extroverts.

An extroverted choleric person is a bull in the arena. And anyone who disagrees with him, reproaches or insults him is a red rag. He is easily excitable and can make a scene even over the smallest thing. However, he also openly and vividly knows how to express joy, gratitude, and respect. In addition, he:

• jealous, stubborn, self-willed, proud;
• ready to take responsibility and be responsible for others;
• knows how to motivate, inspire, tends to dominate and protect;
• does not tolerate competitors and always tries to be the best;
• ready to help relatives at any time.

These are the most passionate individuals who require a lot of attention to themselves. As a rule, their goals are grandiose and ambitious. If they decide that their friends' hats are not warm enough, they will buy them new ones. And not only hats, but also gloves, scarves, socks, and at the same time thermal underwear.

Test

How do you know if you are an extrovert? You can independently take the test of the German-British psychologist Hans Eysenck.

Instructions:

1. Read the statement carefully.
2. Imagine the situation described.
3. Ask yourself how you would act in it.
4. Write down the first answer that comes to mind.
5. If you agree with a statement, put a “+” sign next to it.
6. If you do not agree, use the “-” sign.

Statements:

Scoring:

Interpretation of answers:

Using the Eysenck questionnaire, you can also determine the type of temperament:

• an emotionally stable extrovert is a sanguine person;
• emotionally stable introvert - phlegmatic;
• emotionally unstable extrovert - choleric;
• emotionally unstable introvert - melancholic.

This is the simplest and at the same time accurate and detailed test for an extrovert or introvert.

An extrovert in childhood.

About studying.

The only school subject in which all children of this psychotype excel is physical education. Otherwise, everything depends on the teacher. If a teacher devotes more time to practice than theory, and often changes the types of tasks, then the child will most likely fall in love with his subject. And vice versa: the more monotony and theory in the course, the worse the performance of the extrovert.

The personality and skills of the teacher are also important. If the teacher is passionate about his subject and knows how to create excitement , an extroverted child will adore him and study diligently.

As a rule, extroverted children are average students because it is difficult for them to sit in one place for a long time and maintain concentration.

About friendship.

An extroverted child is a popular person with a large circle of acquaintances. With friends he takes a leadership position. If a group of children decided to play a prank, it was the extrovert who talked them into doing it.

Usually he does not worry about quarrels with friends and easily replaces them with new ones. Rarely maintains friendly relations with classmates after leaving school.

About the dangers.

1. Such children try to pay attention to everyone, because of this the quality of their friendship sometimes suffers. Therefore, they can feel lonely even when surrounded by hundreds of people.
2. The excitement and restlessness of an extrovert often leads him to trouble. If a child is hyperactive, it is better to make sure that he attends clubs and releases his energy there.
3. These kids are very dependent on the assessment of others. If they find themselves in bad company, they may decide to take illegal actions and harm themselves or others.

Which psychotype is better?

Introversion in psychology is simply the direction in which a certain personality develops. In the philistine environment, there is an opinion that extroverts are more successful in life. This opinion is extremely wrong. It is enough to refer to the statistics, which claim that approximately 25% of the total population in the world are extroverts. Moreover, among the most successful people on the planet, an increased tendency towards introversion is already evident in 40%.

There are no psychotypes better or worse. Each person is individual in his own way, especially since, as mentioned above, temperaments and psychotypes in their pure form are not found in practice. People with different inclinations have different views on situations.

• Extroverts have many friends. Introverts are often considered socially phobic and have few attachments, but forever.
• To find inspiration, an introvert needs free space. An extrovert is a spectator.
• Extroverts quickly assess the whole situation, while introverts are attentive to details.
• Extroverts easily meet people, these qualities come first in the fields of sales and advertising. Introverts need time to establish contact and respect personal boundaries.
• Extroverts need fame and attention, while introverts can do without it. For them, the main thing is pleasure from work.
• An introvert tries to solve his problems himself, extroverts share them with others.
• Jobs that require monotony and perseverance are better suited for introverts.

There are many such examples that can be given. It is impossible to draw a conclusion from them which people are better. The question should be different: which application area is more beneficial to a certain type of person?

Extrovert and career.

The ideal profession for him is a “person-to-person” . For example, teacher, instructor, doctor, administrator, lawyer. Extroverts extremely rarely choose the “person-sign system” and “person-technology” types because of the need to work independently, separately from others.

Thanks to resourcefulness and eloquence, an extrovert quickly moves up the career ladder. And this is logical, because he is not afraid:

• ask for a salary increase or revision;
• take responsibility for the work of others;
• manage people, organize the work process;
• make quick decisions;
• change types of activities, take on complex tasks.

Monotonous work that requires attention to detail quickly drains an extrovert's strength. He becomes lethargic and his work performance deteriorates.

Mixtures of extroverted personality types.

As was said at the beginning of the article, this psychotype represents a behavioral range of traits; above we looked at 4 types, but psychologists have noted that most extroverted personalities include two, so they can be conditionally added together. For example, a sensor with an ethicist or a logician with an intuition. Let's dig deeper and see what else it can be.

Intuitive-ethical extrovert (irrational).

An ethical-intuitive extrovert is an insightful psychologist who can easily determine the psychotype of any person and calculate the development of events in advance. Easily adapts to the mood of the interlocutor and shows his best side in public. She does not feel discomfort when performing on stage; on the contrary, she admires being in the center of attention.

An intuitive-ethical extrovert (irrational) is capable of achieving heights by climbing the career ladder, however, he hates monotonous and long work (making excessive efforts) and is constantly looking for benefits for himself. He doesn’t like other people’s successes, he tries to trip others up, arranging invisible tests for them and himself for self-realization and raising self-esteem. He perceives any criticism with hostility and is not ready to admit his mistakes, so as not to lower his self-esteem. If success has passed him by, he tries to at least demonstrate it, since he lays claim to the title of “ideal personality.” Predisposed to underestimating other people's abilities and exaggerating his own (although often vice versa).

He attracts public attention to himself in every possible way. If he is not there, he ignores or is loudly offended. There is nothing more important than maintaining popularity, so you can expect the most extravagant actions from him: ridicule, mockery, and not always appropriate. He is boastful, not modest and does not tolerate modest people, although he condemns the lack of modesty in others.

He does not take on unnecessary responsibility, so a sense of duty is alien to him, as is long-term love.

Intuitive-logical extrovert (seeker).

An intuitive-logical extrovert is a person who seeks a comfortable use of his qualities in work. If he cannot fully realize himself in an activity, and his skills are rated low, he looks for new opportunities, supported by luck. Why look for a long, routine job when your pocket is empty, if you can adapt to harsh conditions until a better job comes along? Running from side to side in search of a better place is the prerogative of carriers of this psychotype.

The logical-intuitive extrovert (seeker) finds it wise to arrange his schedule so that he can get work done, so he is good at organizing employees and leading the process, occupying a high position. There are also pedantic shades: everything is in its place, everything must be perfect, on time, and abstract fantasies are left aside. Despite his predisposition to apathy, he tries to complete what he starts until the “golden” end, otherwise he sees no point in work. Remuneration should also be highly paid, but the moral component of the subconscious does not allow fraud and games. He likes to earn and also spend, without counting.

He does not forgive himself for mistakes, but looks at them with optimism. He does not like control over himself, mistrust offends him, therefore he is distinguished by noble jealousy in relationships, preventing it from escalating into conflict. Does not like parasites, many promises and irresponsibility. Looks ahead to events in terms of consequences, so he rarely makes mistakes.

Emotions, why are they needed? The logical-intuitive does not know what to do with them, so they obey his reason (I will smile in order to...). Finds a common language with everyone, is witty, humorous and optimistic at the right moment, polite and delicate. However, the pain from received negative emotions is difficult to experience in cases of hostility, antipathy, hysterics on the part of people, but despite this, he remains friendly.

Sensory-ethical extrovert (enthusiast).

An ethical-sensory extrovert is a person who prefers to share his emotions, regardless of their field orientation (negative and positive) and, accordingly, news from life. He doesn’t like negative emotions and problems, so he shares them with others to draw attention to them, and after solving the problem, he is freed from them. He likes to exaggerate and will turn a small problem into a huge one. He is afraid of any criticism, rumors and negative reviews, so he is constantly active in promises, actions, and work. He hates an environment in which he has to suppress emotions, remain silent when he wants to say something, while those around him are also forced to remain a mystery to him.

A sensory-ethical extrovert (enthusiast) is able to talk for days about his problems, but does not listen to the essence of the problems of others due to the lack of desire to help solve them. Easily lifts the mood of those around him, for example, with the news that everyone will soon receive gifts. This is almost always a lie, but it is important for him to remain everyone’s hero at least for half a day. He doesn’t like to be reminded of what was promised, because he promises not at all in order to fulfill it, but so that everyone will quickly forget. This is the logic of the sensory ethicist. The normal emotional background is slight excitement with a barely noticeable smile on the face, however, psychoirritants can cause sharply negative and positive emotions.

Sensory-logical extrovert (rational).

A sensory-logical extrovert is a leader by nature. Regardless of the conditions, he will prefer to lead and invest his skills in the common cause. He strives for stability in everything; there is no work that he has not completed to the end. In any business, he sees the mechanisms down to the tiny “molecular” algorithms related to them, so the post of head of a project or business brings the highest and different results from others. They are pedantic towards themselves, therefore they condemn laziness, freebies, negligence or irresponsibility.

If you demonstrate more will to him than he expects, he will prefer to ask it again, even if others do less. A logical-sensory extrovert (rational) hates time, prefers to live like a robot, this is due to the fact that work accumulates, but does not have time to be completed. If he gets tired, he doesn’t show it to anyone; only his relatives can find out about it. Loves to teach and show examples, is strict, but receptive to other people's capabilities. However, he cannot be found among fraudulent trainers, since he only recommends what he has tried himself, so the preconceived conclusions of spiteful critics greatly hurt him. He is a man of his word, discipline and diligence are his prerogative, there is no other way.

He tries to subordinate emotions to reason, but is childishly sentimental with “verbal caresses.”

Extrovert and relationships.

Extroverts have one paradox. They do not value numerous connections, although they really need them. They find it difficult to focus on one person. They can get divorced several times and then remarry. Moreover, they will be firmly confident that this time everything will definitely work out.

However, if an extrovert finds his person, he does not let him go, no matter what. His “special” partner easily notices that he is becoming one. The extroverted personality begins :

• make concessions, find compromises;
• think about the feelings of your loved one;
• devote significantly more time to your partner than to other people;
• allow your couple to control common affairs;
• show off your boyfriend/girlfriend to your friends;
• try to be there all the time.

The jealousy of extroverts can be dangerous. It can end in scandals, threats, damage to property and even physical violence. Fortunately, a predisposition to such a reaction is noticeable from the first days of acquaintance. And such aggressive people are not so common.

If your partner is an extrovert, you will have to be prepared for an avalanche of attention. And he will expect it in return.

According to Leonard

The human typology of the German scientist Carl Leonhard differs significantly from Jung's theory. In his monograph, published in 1964, he presented a classification of accentuations. By this term he understands the pronounced traits of individual personalities. Introversion and extroversion play a minor role in his interpretation. According to Leonhard, 12 types of accentuations are defined.

Personality accentuations: introversion and extraversion.

Character accents:

• demonstrative;
• pedantic;
• affectively stagnant;
• excitable.

Temperament accentuations:

• hyperthymic;
• dysthymic;
• affect-labile;
• exalted;
• anxious;
• emotive.

Leonhard notes that one personality can combine and manifest traits characteristic of different types.

Extrovert and introvert.

When a dog first meets a hedgehog, it tries to sniff it and gently touch it. Then she looks at him with an uncomprehending look for another 10 minutes.

It's funny, but an extrovert reacts to an introvert in exactly the same way. He does not understand this uptight, closed creature. However, curiosity wins, and he tries to find out more about the “hedgehog” and make friends with him.

An extroverted person will try to liberate the introvert and make him more active. It's unlikely that this will work. However, by learning to respect the personal space of their quiet friend, the extrovert will create a very strong bond with him.

But the “extrovert-extrovert” is an explosive mixture. Such a couple or friends can be happy together, but only as long as their adventures last. As soon as they stop for a minute, problems begin. The most common is the war for leadership.

How to communicate with an extrovert?

How to stay on good terms with an active psychotype?

• See him more often, at least occasionally spend time actively.
• Be able to listen to him, encourage him, praise him, and pay attention to his problems.
• Give him the opportunity to be a leader, or at least pretend to be.
• Discuss with him the boundaries of acceptable behavior. Do not hush up conflicts.
• Try to be cheerful, optimistic and cheerful.
• Don't ask him to be “quieter,” “slow down,” etc. It won't work. It’s better to simply lower your tone or slow down your pace - the extrovert will unconsciously adjust.

How to become an extrovert?

Unlike character, psychotype and temperament are laid down at the physiological level. This means that they cannot be changed. However, every person is a mixture of extroversion and introversion. Even if the personality is 90% introverted (which is rare), you can always develop the remaining 10%. How to do it :

• work with a psychotherapist to feel more confident around people;
• try to communicate with friends in real life, and not through social networks;
• play a team sport or attend another group activity with a high level of physical activity;
• periodically do something spontaneously, without a preliminary plan, breaking away from habits;
• try light extreme sports - friendly arguments, mastering a new type of transport, traveling, trying unusual dishes, etc.;
• develop communication skills - take appropriate courses, speak publicly, meet people on the street.

If you have an extrovert among your friends, you won’t be bored. He will charge you with energy and try to cheer everyone around. However, despite his outward carefree nature, he may suffer from serious problems. An extroverted personality, like no one else, needs reliable friends, their support and loyalty. This is why such people are often friends with introverts.
