Extroversion – The 3d Of The 5 Evidence Based Personality Traits
Last weeks’ post have been about the five basic dimensions of personality, often referred to as the Big 5 personality traits that serve as the building blocks of personality.
These 5 personality dimensions can help us learn more about ourselves and help us decide where to focus our energy and attention, both when it comes to strengths and development areas.
The big five are mirrored by the acronym OCEAN:
Openness to experience
Conscientiousness
Extroversion
Agreeableness
Neuroticism
Extroversion is characterized by being easily excited, social, talkative, assertive and emotional expressive.
People who are high in extroversion are outgoing and enjoy social situations which make them feel energized and excited.
People who are low in extroversion, i.e. introverted, tend to be more reserved and find social settings demanding since these settings drain their energy. Introverts often need quiet time alone to feel restored.
