Extraversion : The Low Bracket On Extraversion Versus General Population

The 1st Factor is Extraversion (AKA Surgency) and the score I received for this factor is 31 which is above average. With the score I got, it says that I am peppy and that I need or want to talk and hang out with people. Although part of the report is true about being peppy, I do not see myself as always needing others around because most of the time, I like being by myself. I do not agree with the score I got because I actually do not like people that well. I am a rude person that judges people easily. For example, if I were to meet someone new in a class, the first thing I will do is recognize a feature that is very noticeable and I will not say anything about it. Also, if mistakes were made constantly, it would be really obvious and it would bother me a lot even though I would not say anything about it out loud. But I will say what I think is wrong or bad about the person to someone else, even though I know that sounds really messed up and it is.

However, my questionnaire indicated that I am within the healthy middle range of scores. This can mean that I like to be around people, but I also note the importance of privacy. I also find this to be true. My sense of extraversion depends on each situation and how I am feeling that day. My score for agreeableness, 20, is just about the same score as the female average, 19.8.

In the area of extraverts and introverts, I have many interests, but have chosen to study subjects that are of the most interest to me. I have found to be one who takes the initiative to begin a task at work, even if it is not my own particular focus. I will often ponder ideas before opening them up for discussion. Although I am able to get my point across verbally, given

According to the Jung Test, I’m an Extraverted, Sensing, Feeling, and Judging. While reading the descriptions of my personality, I was surprised on how accurate it is and the flaws I have to improve. Being an extravert helps me open up to the world and expand my connection to the real world. Communicating with other people not only helps me open my mind but also helps me learn how other people think and talk. Being able to feel and sense others’ behavior can lead to a better interaction with different people.

Extraverted, sensing, thinking, judging: the supervisor within the realm of personalities. As an ESTJ, I “thrive on order and continuity”(Jung). I tend to stick with the idea of tradition and seek the history. As an Extrovert, I receive energy from the people that surround me and promote work ethic. Not someone to show emotion, I gain through logical and practical terms. I find myself in situations that require thought, planning, or organization. In some cases, I do tend to stray away from the results that I was given through the personality test.

The Jung Typology Personality Test results (Appendix A) show that I am an ESFJ with 1% Extravert, 1% sensing, 22% feeling and 44% judging. My test

Extraversion means you are out going versus introversion which means you are an insider. I have a slight preference of extraversion over introversion by 16%. Someone who senses base things off facts versus intuition which is to base something off an impression. I have a moderate preference of sensing over intuition by 25%. Thinking means to weigh pros and cons whereas feeling you base things off by value and caring. I have a moderate preference of thinking over feeling by 43%. Judging means organization versus perceiving which is flexibility. I have a slight preference of judging over perceiving by 22%.

a. According self tests using the Five Factor Model, my personality has low extraversion and emotional stability, a high degree of openness, and moderate levels of agreeableness and conscientiousness. Low extraversion is demonstrated in both professional and social envionments. While working a corporate job as a financial analyst, taking the time and initiative to interact with coworkers beyond the scope of the job was limited to a brief conversation once a day with the same two people. In large social gatherings, interactions are limited to familiar people with whom I have pre-existing friendships. If I attend a concert by myself, I will bring a book to read in between musical acts to prevent people from speaking to me. Low emotional

According to my IPIP-NEO narrative report I am a very independent, outgoing, calm, and curious person. My comprehensive report shows that I am: high scoring in openness, conscientiousness, and extraversion, average scoring in agreeableness and low scoring in Neuroticism. Raking in the 82nd percentile, extraversion was my second highest scoring trait. This means I am pretty outgoing, extraverted and love people. This is evident my scores of 89 in friendliness, 84 in assertiveness and 75 in activity level. Despite my high score in extraversion, I am on the lower side of average in the excitement-seeking facet with a score or 33. This means that even though I might like a little hustle and bustle and take charge I wont take to many risks and don’t always need a thrill to be satisfied.

experienced negative, strongly stressful and work related life events displayed poor psychological wellbeing (Rose et al., 2006). This is true for David because he often begin to feel stressed and overwhelmed. In another study done by (Lan 2015), they show the relationship between extraversion and subjective well-being, with this relationship tending to be weaker in women than in men. This means that people who are more of an extravert tend to have a better well-being. In David’s case we are unsure if he is either and extrovert or not. Therefore, the fact that extraversion exerted a stronger effect on subjective well-being in men than it did in women may primarily be because of cultural factors. (Lan, 2015). With most cultures men are looked

Overview of results: I scored in the High bracket on Extraversion compared to the general population. My raters and I had some disagreement on my level of E as the self-other difference was between .26 and .50. Further, my raters also had some disagreements with each other regarding my level of E as their SD was between .41 and .80.

(PSU, L4, P5.). In the area of extraversion, I scored high. Having these qualities has helped me to get more involved in things and have more experiences furthering my development. There is an old adage ‘there are two sides to every coin’, this may apply here as well. As an extravert, I am very talkative, but I may lack in my active listening skills. I completed an active listening self-assessment, and found that my tendencies to start processing responses and even sometime interrupt before the speaker is completed their thought is an important area for my personal development.

Overall I would say the Extraversion scores describe me pretty well. I’m typically quiet and subdued unless I’m around a group of people I know well or a given conversation point is something of high interest or notably relatable. In those situations, I can be and often enjoy steering discussions or even speaking in front of large groups. In most cases however, I do typically prefer to avoid large groups and need as well as highly enjoy personal quiet or down time. For friendliness, I do consider myself a very positive and enjoyable person for others to interact with, but I don’t go out of my way to be friendly or engaging with others. The almost low score for gregariousness is accurate, I really don’t usually enjoy interactions within

The personality model that I am using for this assignment is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) which is widely used across the globe. MBTI is a personality test that contains four different characteristics and classifies people into one of sixteen personality types. Robbins & Judge (2017) states that the four pairs of classifications for MBTI are- extraverted or introverted

Extraversion is characterized by positive emotions and the tendency to seek out stimulation and the company of others. The trait is marked by pronounced engagement with the external world. Extraverts enjoy being with people, and are often perceived as full of energy. They tend to be enthusiastic, action-oriented individuals who are likely to say "Yes!" or "Let's go!" to opportunities for excitement. In groups they like to talk, assert themselves, and draw attention to
