INTROVERT VS EXTROVERT.

Understanding introversion and extroversion helps one understand him/herself and others better.

Introversion and extroversion are all about how people relate to themselves and the world around

them. The major difference between the two is how one decides to spend his/her time. Introverts

enjoy more time to themselves and are very aware of their internal thoughts. They recharge more

in solitude. On the other hand, extroverts are often more outspoken, outgoing and love being

around other people.

The following signs indicate that one is an introvert. They include; One enjoys spending time on

his/her own, recharging after a busy week or a period of activity on your own, you are afraid of

spending time with a bigger group of friends and you easily get lost in your thoughts and need

time to process things.

The following signs indicate that one is an extrovert. They include; you enjoy spending time

around other people than on your own, you like spending time in the company of others as you

recharge, you like being the center of attraction, you are so talkative and you are a social kind of

person that love parties and gatherings with lots of new people.

Typically, classifying myself as either extrovert or an introvert, I consider myself more

extroverted than introverted. I feel refueled and filled up after being with a crowd and connecting

with new people. There is also a small percentage in me that feels introverted since, after a hectic

process of an activity, I feel the need to have some me time and just be on my own. I consider

myself in the middle category, i.e. extroverted-introvert.

Knowing the category of our introversion or extraversion will help us improve the quality of our

lives thereby contributing to our happiness.

PART TWO.

The salivation from the passage is quite high above average. Eysenck would say I am more

extraverted due to my sociability trait. From Eysenck's theory, He describes extraversion as a

trait of liveliness and excitability. From the passage, the act of salivation arouses my excitability

hence am highly extraverted.
